Basic Salsa – recipe

12/26/2009

There are tons of salsa recipes available.  If you have a favorite, you’re probably not reading this.  If you don’t have a favorite, then the most likely best thing to do if you know of a salsa you like is ask the person or restaurant who made it for the recipe.  The worst that could happen is they won’t give you the recipe.  Aside from that, here’s a simple one.  I make it to find a use for my small food processor and because it’s good.  (Oster 3320 150-Watt 3-Cup Food Chopper with Whisk Attachment ).  However you could probably do just as well with a knife, cutting board, bowl and spoon.

Happy Birthday Jesus – It’s been a while

12/25/2009

Happy Birthday Jesus.  Still going strong after two thousand and nine years.  Here’s to another couple millennia at least.  I hope the Social Security cost of living increases, or lack thereof, don’t hurt you too badly in the coming year.  It seems the cost of  everything is still high from the past few years except the cost of living.  One of those paradoxes of government I suppose.  But you’ve had some experience in that area, so I’m preaching to the preacher.

This is interesting VIII – WordPress Plugins – Shaun Of The Dead – Zombieland

12/22/2009

Despite the effects of two small ( I stress the word small) glasses of wine, I managed to install my first WordPress plug-in tonight.  To digress, two small glasses of wine never used to have this effect.  As a note of caution to the reader, as you age and mature (well more like age, because most of us sure don’t mature), what used to be a pleasurable creative experience becomes a cloud of huhs? and missed keystrokes.  At any rate, I’ll use the excuse that my attention has been divided between installing the plug-in and writing about it; with an unbiased viewing of Shaun of the Dead (Comedy Channel – with references to come when I sober up) compared to Zombieland (more references later).   As you can tell, the plug-in lost. 

The results follow:

Shaun of the Dead: classic British humor with mild Zombie guts and gore.

Zombieland: classic American B movie done to perfection.

Both worth a watch, but Zombieland rocks.  Double tap.
