Thank you! I put the food on a black towel. I thought it looked nice that way! Is that what you were asking?

Yes. It looks gorgeous!

Salsa #108

Salsa is the perfect summer snack. I was able to gather all my ingredients fresh & locally grown from the farmers market.

I juiced six limes.

Added the sugar, salt & pepper.

Next I added chopped cilantro.

Then the garlic.

When chopping jalapeños I always use latex gloves. These had the tops chopped off, then were cut in half & seeds removed before dicing.

Last but not least, the onions & tomato were diced in. The ingredients were stirred & put in the fridge to chill over night.

I worried that the recipe called for too much lime & sugar, but the taste is spot on. My only concern should have been that my family would eat it all before I got the final photo taken.

The one thing I’ll do different next time is use purple onions because they are my favorite & I feel the color adds to the overall presentation.

All in all, this is an excellent salsa recipe that yields a party size amount (roughly 48oz).

A great snack for eating outside on a hot day.

That looks so good! How did you get that slice so smooth & perfect? My slices always look like I dug them out with a wooden spoon.

Sprayed pan and used a silicone spatula to slide under it and slowly slid off it, seriously.

Nice touch with the pumpkins too. Nosey question that you don’t have to answer, but do you always have pumpkin decor out or did you pull them out special for the picture?

Lol I got so busy with garden this year I never got them put away ! . So I did pull out for picture but they were in a pile to go back in tote and here it is fall already! Where has this year gone?!?

Here are some pictures of #81 Quiche Simple and Crustless.

It turned out really well! It was so cheesy! I think it was the best quiche I’ve ever had!

Great pictures! Look at that cute violet planter I love spinach and cottage cheese

I’m making the salsa today. I’m prepping it outside to avoid the heat. I’m being swarmed by bees & mosquitoes & thinking nasty thoughts about @Happy hen lover for getting me into this.
(Just kidding Happy Hen.)

Sorry about that

Wow it looks gorgeous! Love the decorations and presentation. What a good rooster to stand so still. . How hot was it? That looked like 1 hot jalapeno?

I tend to have pumpkins in my house all, or most of the year, so I had to ask.

Thanks! I didn’t think it was too hot, but I have a high tolerance for spice. I took the seeds out so my younger kids could eat it, but they still said it was pretty spicy. The spice seems to dissipate a little more everyday, so if you make it & it’s too hot, maybe leave it in the fridge for a day or two.

My friend told my husband not to eat a reddish jalapeno because it's angry too hot.
