Salsa

August 15:

Richard began making Salsa today. After chopping the Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, Tomatillos, Garlic, and Herbs, he put them on the Stove to simmer and cook down. Ever attentive, he kept stirring so that the mixture would not stick. His morning's creativity made 2 batches yielding 21 Pints.

All Ingredients came from our Farm, with the exception of the Salt, Pepper, and Cumin. The Chopping took a long time. He used a beautify array of Peppers and Tomatoes. Together, they were works of Art.

When I was growing up, we only had Mexican food once. It didn't work out well because we didn't know what we were doing and what it should be like. Over the years, Mexican food has become very popular. We love it. We cannot imagine going through the year without reserves of our own version of Salsa.
