Hi Libertina! Long time no see!

I'm glad you like the layout. It was a bit of a challenge since losing ***ALL*** of my graphics (12 MEGS' worth) to a domania.us crash. Billie kindly allowed me to store the graphics on her server, so we made it work.

Thanks for waking up early to join us! You did a wonderful job on the writing, BTW - we ***all*** thank you for that! Your "guest-author-hostessing" is very much appreciated!

Spectacular Lodwick! That is a place I want to go visit. (Preferably with a canoe) and I liked the "Nevada Sunrise one as well." Carlo, you'll have to stop posting those recipies before I start making them and miss work! (tomorrow, tomorrow!) :)

[lodwick]

Good morning down there - the sun's peeking up over the roof tops and it looks to be another glorious day in Texas.

Please feel free to throw up the Cadillac Bar salsa receipe at any time...is there anything better than some zippy salsa or pico de gallo?

[dansangel]

Speaking of w-o-r-k....I've got to attend to some of that, myself.

Have a great day, Libertina! Thank-you again for a great job, just in case I don't run into you later on.

Have Fun!

The Real Thingy Salsa
(Tex-Mex at it's best, from our recipe for the Cadillac Bar!! I have modified it for home size, The original recipe maks about a 55 gal drum...ha!)

• 1 Tsp. olive oil, the real thingy, not the wimpy stuff the TV guru's are pushing... heheheh
• 3 lbs fresh (very ripe, blanched and pealed) tomatoes or 2 lg. (28.8oz ea.) cans CRUSHED tomatoes
• 2 Tsp. salt (or to taste)
• 1 ts sugar
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro
• 1 lg. onion
• 3-5 fresh jalapeño peppers (depending on how hot you like it.)
• 2 Tsp. oregano, or 1 1/2 ts dry
• 1 lg. fresh lime or 1/4 C lime juice, or 1 Tsp. lime concentrate

Heat olive oil in heavy covered pot. Place tomatoes, cilantro, onion, and peppers, into a food processor (obviously not at the same time for those in New York City... ha!), and chop until rough cut (not puree).
Put chopped veg mixture in pot and simmer on low until soft and thoroughly heated. Add sugar, salt, and lime to heated sauce, and leave on low for 20-30 mins, careful to stir as often as possible.
Adjust seasoning as needed, and be sure to purchase as quality a chip as is available, so as not to waste this great salsa on some junk chip...LOLOL
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for flavors to combine. Some folks prefer to re-heat before serving..
