I am ADDICTED to chips and salsa. (Guacamole is my favorite but let's face it... most of the year is not avocado season and it just isn't the same.)
I mean, yeah. I want to tour France and go wine tasting, go try pastas in Italy, but I'll tell you what. I wish I could take a salsa tour. Liquidy salsas, pico de gallo, all of it. With various recipes of tortilla chips. Mmmmmm mmmmm! My dad makes the best pico de gallo out there, only to be rivaled by a brand or two to be found at QFC and Trader Joes. But they still don't even tie. And as far as canned salsas go, I just cannot find out that is that amazing. I love them, sure. I am eating one now. I have tried mango salsa, regular salsa, hot salsa, green salsa, and "tropical salsa" (a combination of pineapple, oranges, cilantro, jalapenos, and other ingredients that I can only describe as 'salsa heaven') and yet still I feel unsatisfied.
I wonder if there is such a thing as a salsa cook book, because I am tempted to embark on the wonderful world of salsas come spring time. Meanwhile, I recently talked to Michael about getting out my dessert cook books and making one a week/every other week (as I can afford to buy ingredients.) Which also makes me want to try different pasta dishes. So these are things I need. A fancy dessert cookbook (possibly could be found in my own book shelf,) a salsa cookbook (don't even know if it exists,) and a book of nothing but pasta.
Basically I suppose what this completely pointless blog is coming down to, is one simple fact. I have a true love in my life.
And that,
is food.
With love, as always. Nom nom nom.
When you discover this salsa tour, let me know and I'll join you! Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteI just made the promise to start baking more often myself. I went out and bought a binder, some plastic cover sheets and dividers. I look up recipes online that I want to try and I print them off and put them in the binder. I have a "try me" section that I put them in until I make them. Then if we like it, I put it in an appropriate category. :)
Nice :) That's a good idea, I'm constantly bookmarking recipes online!
