Good salsa can be made:

3 Fresh tomato ends with cut off, I like roma sized
1 Bell pepper or poblano(I like pobalno)
2 cloves of garlic at least medium sized
1 whole white onion(1/2 is super sized)
1/2 to whole jalapeno depending on taste with seeds removed depending on heat preference
handful of cilantro
cumin powder, about 1/2 tsp at least, can add later to taste
salt and pepper to taste
2tsp white vinegar
splash of Worcestershire sauce

put this all in a food processor and run it till processed down but still a bit chunky, you may need to add a touch more vinegar and spice but you should end up with a pretty salsa that is a bit greener than storebought and oh so much better!

The black and white cookie. I love the black and white. Two races of flavor living side by side.

Wow, The Box has been prolific today.:cool: Just opened up my new Acer Aspire. This has to be the cutest laptop ever.

Arctic blast coming tomorrow.:rolleyes: Paging ALCO's global warming superpowers.

That would mean I'd have to move to the good TV with the cable box and no internet.

Edit: I could always fire up the laptop and mouch off my neighbors who don't secure their in-house wifi.

Yep, we've got several of those. One of them still has the default linksys SSID, and has not even set a password on their router. I could easily sign into their router and totally change everything on their network if I wanted to.

Bathrooms paint themselves when you dip the auger of an irobot looj in paint and start it up on the ground, splatter paint :D

It's funny how pets can sense your mood. Last night my cat (guess he's too big to refer to as a kitten now) was very cuddly and stayed very close all night.

Anyway, this situation will pass. It's not the end of the world. Just feels like it right now. :(

First of all, I'm sorry. I know that doesn't mean much, but I really am. The situation may pass, but that doesn't make it suck any less right now.

Pets are amazing. Their ability to know just when you need them is so keen. I'm glad he's there. Being home does make it harder because more time gives you more time to ponder and that's never a good thing. Thank God for FT! :)

The paint is finally just about done. There are a few minor touch-ups to do, but those can wait for the weekend. I put most of the bathroom back together this morning, and cleaned up the mess in there.

I just gave our Cuisineart away. It hadn't been used in the six years we've lived here and I figured it wasn't going to get used anytime soon. I can go to whole foods, buy fresh salsa and be home before I can make this and have the cuisineart cleaned :)
