We made salsa

Today I met up with my Mom and sister Krista to make salsa. We got some fine tomatoes for 7 bucks a box. We had two boxes. Actually my Dad found them for us. We ended up with 23 pints of yummy salsa. Krista made up some "chips and cheese and salsa" for her girls and we all had some and the salsa was awesome. Some of my strongest memories of fall time are of coming home from school and having salsa or chili sauce cooking or being canned. I don't know that any other Mom I knew did that, but it is a strong connection with my Mom. She was a big tease today while we did the salsa.. what a woman.

Nobody is as good at finding cheap roadside produce than Grandpa. By the way, I noticed we aren't on you sidebar. Whatever I did to offend you I promise to make it up to you in the form of fatherly support for my daughter's passion for ballet (despite my dream of her being on the US National Soccer team).

Who is that cute lady??? Now don't let Uncle Mike know that you made salsa ... he will wonder why none of his girls didn't make him any! That is because we need Aunt Margie to show us the tricks of the trade!
