Happy Wednesday Speakies:
It’s half-time for the work week today and I hope you are all in fine spirits. Today is “SPACE DAY”, what does that mean? It could be a variety of space celebrations, most likely it means exploring the unknown galaxies where no man has gone. It could honor the triumphs that man has made so far in space exploration or it can be like JoeyZ; I went to college and took up space BAROOM BOOM.
The real definition of space is the following:

The real definition of space is the following:
A quantity or portion of extension; distance from one thing to another; an interval between any two or more objects; as, the space between two stars or two hills; the sound was heard for the space of a mile. Sounds like something from the Twilight Zone. The hell with space for the rest of the day, let’s talk food.
May is “SALSA MONTH”, that great stuff we love to dive bomb with nacho chips and for me rippled potato chips. I prefer a medium salsa and my favorite is Pace’s Medium Picante Sauce as a dip. Roe’s friend makes a great homemade salsa and once in a while Roe brings a jar home for us to enjoy. Roe makes a great cheeseburger and tops it off with picante sauce; I enjoy that better than ketchup gives it lots of flavor. Here is a salsa recipe that I had several times and it is really good, try it if you like, I don’t mind sharing.
SALSA
Place all ingredients into medium-sized, plastic bowl as they are prepared.
1) Dice two medium-sized, fresh tomatoes
2) Dice one medium-sized, red onion
3) Mince two thumb-sized, jalapeno peppers (include seeds)
Note: Use young jalapeno peppers, which are characterized by their straight, blunt bodies. They are not as hot as older ones that generally appear much curlier and elongated.
4) Add one teaspoon table salt
5) Add two teaspoons of garlic powder
6) Stir to mix ingredients.
7) Add the juice of one 14.5 oz. can of Italian-style stewed tomatoes
8) Puree the stewed tomatoes in a food processor and add to bowl
9) Add one 7 oz. can of diced, mild, green chilies
10) Add one 8 oz. can of plain tomato sauce
11) Mince one handful of fresh cilantro
12) Add a few shakes of black pepper to taste
13) Let mixture stand overnight or in the case of emergency 2 hours.
So tonight get in the mood for some salsa and chips or try making the above recipe and enjoy. Have a great day and evening. See You All Soon.
