(and this is one I'm gonna have to demonstrate for Theo and 'Speedy when they come out to San Diego)
Instant (authentic) "Pico de Gaio":
Get a good sized container of any good salsa from your favorite store - at least a quart, I like to shop at Smart and Final, so I usually get about a 2 liter/4 pound container of Santa Barbara or something.
It has got to be the chunky kind, without a whole lot of fluid in it.
NEXT - To the grocery store! Or better yet - a farm stand that sells fresh herbs:
You're looking for about two bunches of the freshest Cilantro you can find. I go with one bunch per quart...
Chop the cilantro as fine as you can get it (fresh only, no substitutions!) and stir it into the store bought salsa in a large covered glass dish. Let it sit in the fridge an hour or two so the flavors come out, and keep it sealed so the smell and savor don't escape. NOTE: This is gonna look like an awful lot of cilantro, but don't worry about it - that's the idea!!!
A food processor might make the chopping easier, but I just use a big knife.
~This is a classic! The cilantro taste might stay with you a while, but it gives it a heavy and mysterious herb 'savore' like no other!
Serve with fresh chips that have been lightly toasted in the oven...

'Speedy -
"Me cheso es Su cheso!"
Cheese, oh yeah... The absolute sharpest sheddar I can find, but not too often! I have a weakness for it.
Err - concerning "Something else" :
What about tortilla's cut into 6ths, toasted in an oven without salt?

We only eat whole grain anything, and then not much of it.. but whole grain torilla's cut into 6ths and toasted without salt sound delicious, especially with some extra sharp cheddar, and maybe some stilton.....

Wolf, when we are out there I will bring some really sharp cheddar for all of us to eat. ( I too have a weakness for really sharp cheddar!) On second thought...... I will bring an assortment of cheeses and we can have our own little smorgasbord. Any others you have a fondness for? I think I like all cheeses. ( except the cheese made by kraft, yuck) The one I tried recently was blue stilton and that was surprisingly yummy. Oh and baked brie is out of this WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a serious cheese eater, all of my life, I am known as Mouseka in a few countries (mouse) because of the cheese I eat. My now grown up and gone kids from my first totally horrific marriage called me mouse....
Sarah used not to like cheese very much, but our new eating habits have changed all of our tastes, and now there are two mouse imitators running around.

Too bad you all can't be here in Pueblo this weekend. We're having our annual Chili Pepper and Frijole Fetival!!! Lots of roasted chili peppers, jalapeno eating contest, tortilla throwing contest, much much more! Tons of great food to eat too.
Close the streets, and PARTY TIME! Of course, here I am working at the other end of the street...........

I miss being in Pueblo for the fun. I would go there every couple of days, just to see what was doing. My favorite hang out was Arctic Pawn and Gun - where the bargains were often found.
I miss Colorado more than I ever expected, so maybe I will one of those who come back to stay.
I hope so.

I had brie and camenbert for breakfast today! I had no idea I liked cheese SO much, for years I was one of those people who could not eat cheese without a cracker or piece of bread and only the tiniest amount. Now you could not stop me from eating cheese....... I think I can feel my wiskers growing in!!

Tonight, I made a spicy dish, with:
1½ cup, Pace Picante Sauce - medium hot
1 can chopped tomato
1 teaspoon chopped red hot pepper
1 teaspoon tumeric
1 tablespoon chopped dried parsley
1 teaspoon rough ground black pepper
1 can chopped mushroom
1 12 oz can chicken in water.
Easy to prepare, easy to acquire, real easy to eat. Served on a bed of Spinach leaf, with grated parmesian cheese, and washed down with a low carb beer.
It served the three of us, and for the first time in months, I had seconds.. Bad theo.. It was really delicious, and worth a try.
