pop...pop...pop... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

No, I've not fliped my lid...yet!

I made 24 quarts of salsa today,
canned them up for later.
And when I took them out of the water bath that seals the tops of the jars, they POP!

I just *love* that sound! LOL!
It's the sound of a job well done.
It means it's a successful canning process and that the food is preserved and will safely keep.

I give them for gifts during the holidays.
Unfortunately, I was not able to make my relishes this year.
I couldn't care for my garden due to my mom's illness and death.
But, normally, I make both red and green tomato relishes.

And give them as gifts too.

I just LOVE the holidays!!! :>)

Shalom!

Salsa is such a good low fat snack

historyteach · 12-14-2008, 11:16 PM

Yea, but, not the chips that you put the salsa on top of!

Shalom!

Bamboozle · 12-15-2008, 12:20 AM

You could use baked chips...

. That helps a little.

historyteach · 12-15-2008, 06:11 AM

True enough!
And a good point!

But, folks, when you're eating it with refried beans, and sour cream, and cheese and guacomole....

does it really matter???

Shalom!

Bamboozle · 12-15-2008, 06:58 AM

Mmmmmm....now that sounds good.

You can't just eat salsa and chips?

historyteach · 12-15-2008, 07:29 AM

I *suppose* I could...

But, it's not *quite* the same, now, is it?

'Course, my doc would like it much better if I did so! LOL!
And so would my waist!

Shalom!

Aw crap, now I'm going to have to go to the store because my mouth is watering!

historyteach · 12-15-2008, 01:20 PM

Sorry 'bout that, Freedom!

Shalom!

I haven't had ultimate nachos in a long time. I'm going to have to make that soon...maybe this weekend.

historyteach · 12-15-2008, 04:35 PM

I made cheese quesidalas tonight;
Served them with the salsa, refried beans, sour cream and guacamole.

Ohhhh, that salsa came out goooooooodddddd! :yum:

Bamboozled,
How do you make your ultimate nachos?

Shalom!

Bamboozle · 12-15-2008, 05:05 PM

Oh, any kind of chip (I like blue)
refried beans
sour cream
shredded cheese
guacamole
black beans (I like beans)
salsa (I make raw when tomatoes are in season: tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, some lemon/lime juice, a bit of vinegar, kiwi, and mango...mmm, mango!).
Oh yeah, and extra jalapeños.

Sometimes I add seasoned grilled chicken or beef(don't have to).

If I make them this weekend, I'll probably buy store-bought salsa....it's just not the same. Tomatoes are pretty sorry-looking right now....and bland.
