chinese food with a fish made out of a carrot

salsa

When Dan's aunt Gloria decided not to be helpful I realized I was on my own when it came to figuring out how to make a good salsa. Four batches later I can tell you this:

1. Roma tomatoes.
2. Use a variety of peppers.
3. Cut tomatoes and peppers in half. Seed peppers. Place everything skin side up in a roasting pan, and drizzle olive oil on top. Put under the broiler and burn the heck out of it.
4. When it's almost done (=black and bubbly), add cloves of garlic, and red onion. You don't want to burn the garlic and onion.
5. When it's done, put all veggies in the food processor, and pulse.
6. Add cumin, salt, lime juice, and cilantro.
7. Pulse a tiny bit more.
8. Let cool.

My friend Åsa came to visit last week. Saturday was the last day of her stay, and we had breakfast at Hobee's. This is the giant piece of cake they gave Åsa with her omelette.

When they saw me take a picture they quickly brought over a second piece, the more photogenetic blueberry cake you see in the background there. It even has the butter on top, instead of on the side, all pretty for the picture.

This made Åsa happy.
