Whatever you do, DON'T.....GO.....TO SLEEP.......

Now if that's not a grabber line, what is?

I had surprise flag detail up on post this evening, so by the time I got home, I didn't feel like making a serious meal. End result? I made peach salsa and kicked back to watch Johnny Depp die a bad bad death in Nightmare on Elm Street on AMC. Damn he looks young in that.......But then who wouldn't after being sucked into their bed and pureed by Freddy?

Peach salsa, how do you make that you say? Here's the Nbs version.

Take about 3 or 4 peaches, and about the same amount in tomatoes.
Blanch both (dip 'em in boiling water) and peel. Seed the tomatoes if you feel like it. Or don't bother if the commercial breaks are too short. Whatever.
Cut into strips and throw into a blender. Pulse.

Add 'bout half an onion cut up real schmall, and two or three cloves of garlic cut up likewise.
Pulse.

Cut up a few tablespoons of cilantro, and a jalapeno or two and toss 'em in.
Pulse. (You may be sensing a theme here)

Important note, if you want to avoid clawing your eyes out, use gloves or a plastic bag over your hands while handling the jalapenos. This is especially true if you wear contacts, or think you might need to pee sometime in the next six hours or so.

Add a little salt, I like kosher salt, but plain ole uncircumsized gentile iodized table salt is fine. Also about five glugs of honey, five or six glugs of lemon juice or vinegar, and 10 to 12 glugs of olive oil. Translate a glug to about a tablespoon or so, but it's all approximate, and I just like the sound the bottle makes as a unit of measurement.

Just add 'til it tastes right. And if it tastes right to you, but not your friends, then let them make their own salsa, dammit! Stir the above with a spoon, then.....you guessed it. Pulse. Aren't blenders fun?

When done, it looks remarkably like what the cops are cleaning off the bedroom walls, and tastes twice as wonderful. It won't keep quite as long as storebought salsa unless you're into canning, but refrigerated it should be good for a week and change.

Get out your tortilla chips, and DON'T......GO......TO SLEEP!!!!!!! Gotta run, they're following up with Halloween: Resurrections. Maybe it'll inspire some shredded beef burritos. God I love horror flicks............

Peaches in salsa? Hmmm...I'm not sure I can wrap my head around that one. Is it really THAT good?

PS - I never knew that was Johnny Depp. I haven't seen an episode Nightmare on Elm Street in over a decade, though.

Enjoy your horror movies and human-remains salsa!

You could've fooled me! Peach salsa? Blanching? Sounds like work to me! When I "cook" it almost always involves putting something from the freezer into the microwave. Sad I know, being a housewife and all.

I had no idea Johnny Depp was in any Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I saw a couple of them in grade school, and haven't thought of them since. Actually...I think the bathtub scene in the first(?) movie still gets to me sometimes if I think of it at the wrong time. You know, when the claws are coming up between the girl's legs, but thankfully she wakes up before he gets her.

S'vera vera goot.......yum. (there's a few people that make it better than mine, but if I knew their recipe I could kill them and go into business for myself.)

Just the first one. Actually, it was before 21 Jump Street, and I think it was his first movie. He looks about 16.

Sounds like work to me!


It's even more fun than putting it in a microwave. You just cut everything in strips and throw it in the blender. And everyone knows the blender is one of the best kitchen toys. Even better than running around with a plastic bag on your head. I love my blender......platonically.

The blanching and peeling is easy too, but can be left out. If you must. Sigh.................

Ohh you gotta try this one, Spc!


Sounds delicious. I'll try it with the chicken when I replace my grill. Or my furnace. I've been tempted for forever now to try grilling over my foundry torch.

Grill it and top it with that watermelon salsa and ooooo ahhhhh oooo yummay!


HALF A CUP of tequila? You'll need WAY more than....oh, never mind...you meant for the CHICKEN...gotcha.

I still advise a large bottle if half a cup's gonna be wasted on the bird!
