Wanna Salsa, I mean want some salsa?

That would be a toss-up for me ’cause I really wanna learn how to salsa.   My girls wish I’d stop practicing before I really know how to do it.   As I free associate,  that reminds me of a great line I read in Pride and  Predjudice today,  quoted from Mr. Darcy on dancing…..” It has the advantage of being in vogue amongst the less polished societies of the world.  Every savage can dance.”   I don’t know  Mr. Darcy,  my girls would argue that the “savage” that makes their breakfast everyday is not a very good dancer!  But,  I digress.    Back to the salsa I can do.   Thanks to my friend Kristi for the “recipe”,   I  canned homeade cooked salsa today.    I started by collecting these beautiful tomatoes from my humble herb and tomato garden.
 I then chopped green peppers and onions
and added Mrs. Wages salsa spice mix along with some vinegar
and then cooked the  mixture, poured into jars  and boiled for forty minutes
and the sites and smells are inspiring.   This is a great tasting salsa albeit a bit of a labor of love. Isn’t everything in the kitchen a labor of love though?   I guess I’ll have to keep salsa dancing on that ever growing list of things I want to  to do……learn to quilt,  play the fiddle,  run a marathon, learn latin….and greek,   read a million more books,  adopt a child,  cook paella,  memorize Colossians,  and meet Susan Wise Bauer.   Until then,  pass the chips!
