Memorial Day Weekend

by Megan on May 30, 2010

Again, which one of my friends signed me up to receive baby products?  This lovely package was delivered to my doorstep on Saturday afternoon.  The shipper even asked for delivery confirmation.

DSC_1209 I am loving this long weekend.  Technically, I have to go into work for awhile tomorrow, but, I am choosing not to think about that for the time being.

My “garden” is starting to come along quite nicely.  I got the notion to try and make homemade salsa yesterday, my cilantro was starting to get a little bit out of control.

Honestly, cilantro is not my favorite herb (by a long shot), but, I figured it would be fun to have to try and make salsa.  The last time I tried to make salsa from scratch, it did not turn out all that great.  This time I searched high and low for a recipe and finally settled on this one.  This particular recipe uses canned tomatoes – once tomato season gets into full swing, I will probably try and find another recipe to try out.

At any rate, I cleaned off my freshly picked cilantro…

DSC_1197…tossed the ingredients into the food processor…

 DSC_1201 …pulsed the processor approximately 20 times and, voila, it the salsa was finished.  The verdict?  I was really pleased with this – while not as good as K38’s salsa (but really, what is?), it was definitely better than the last batch I tried to make myself.  Next time I may go a little bit easy on the cilantro, but, again that is not really my favorite herb.

In other news, I bought a bike yesterday.  But, that is a topic that deserves its own post, so, I will do that later.  For now it is off to Port City Java for dessert.
