Salsa...again

Alrighty, this isn't a recipe because I've still not found one that works. I wanted to blog about the search, though. Its interesting.

When I got down here in July, I figured I'd have a salsa recipe instantly - like someone is standing on the roadside at the Corpus Christi city limits handing out recipes. Needless to say, that isn't the case.

A few months later, a friend gave me his recipe. It was 2 tomatoes to 1 onion and was overpowering. I figured I'd just work with this recipe to get one I liked. Then I saw one yesterday. I figured it was worth a try.

The unique thing about this one was it had me broiling some veggies. I thought that would add a nice smoky flavor. After I got the tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic and onion all cut up and on the sheet I reviewed the recipe. It wanted them to broil for...TWENTY MINUTES? That seemed a little crazy, but...I'm the one who doesn't know about these things. Still - I set the timer for 10 minutes and figured I'd just watch it.

The smoke alarm started going off after about 7 minutes. Sometimes, it pays to listen to yourself. So, the search continues. Its fun, but sometimes...dang.
