so, having been inspired by the movie julie and julia,  a trip out to the garden where a plethora of peppers and tomatoes were picked, and armed with alton brown's salsa recipe, i finally attempted making homemade salsa.... yummy.

while newman's does make excellent salsa, i have to say for the record that fresh real salsa hits it right out of the park.

so, why did it take so long for me to try making it?

i am making paula dean's pinto bean recipe right now.

there is a slight chance that i might be a "foodie".
