I am quit a culinary conneisure, and I thought I would share my latest creation. 1 can trappys blackeye peas w/jalapeno 1 good squirt sriracha sauce 1 good squirt lime juice 1 good pinch parsely 1 good pinch garlic powder
Dont ever do that.
It sounded like a good idea, but it sucks. badly. still eating it. a grimace in every bite. All these ingredients seperate have many great uses. Put them together and terrible things happen. Reminds me of the time I smoked a grennel. Tasted like sour tuna with the consistency of mud. Took an hour to choke it down.
Don't feel bad. Back in '67 (19 not 18) I patiently scraped the inside of several banana peels, laid it all out on a cookie sheet, baked until dry, rolled it up, smoked it and spent the next hour trying not to puke. All three of us. All based on the song Mellow Yellow. I was not a very bright seventeen yr. old.
I have also learned the pickled herring and peanut butter is a horrible horrible combination....love wren

Hey Toni, I'm going to have to try that one. And as we're on recipes I'll have to say that the recipe for salsa that jonibaloni PM'ed me 2 weeks ago is FANTASTIC! If you don't have it already and would like it, let me know and I'll either PM it to you or post it on this thread salsa lovers.
If you're out there joni, I hope you don't mind me sharing something that great with others.

My last go with salsa involved....kiwis.... wasnt that bad. Happen to be an amateur critic. In Houston, I chose taquerias by the salsa. Something out of a can or picante sauce had me walking out the door. Every mom and pop place knew to give me my salsa and let me read the paper. Naomi's on 45 was for barbacoa, a hundred spots for fajita tacos (flour. gotta have onion, jalapeno, cilantro grilled with the fajita, with plenty of lime.).. little place on NASA 1 across from my apartments had the best salsa. It was hand made, hot, almost soup, and you had to spit out tough chunks of stems and crap- but you could not stop eating it. Chips hand made to. grease still sizzling out when she brought them. Then there where the chinese buffets with sushi.. and wasabe.. (You haf ten plate. You been hea four owa. We close. Go Home!) Thai for bowls full of anatomical features of ocean going wildlife... Vietnamese pho full of sriracha, raw jalapeno and plants, with tripe and other cow parts.. snot and tears flowing freely as you slurp it down. Gotta holler PHOOOO! like your throwing up, just for kicks. Those vietnamese chicks dig it. The other customers dont, the hell withem. Greek pesto, Mongolian barbeque, you fill a bowl with frozen lamb beef or chicken, put some noodles and sauces on it (and yes. sriracha with garlic) and hand it to the snarling mongolian. He's snarling because your buying one bowl and I would pile it twice over and literally use both hands to pack it in. He dumps it on a huge hot plate and stirs it around right before you, and then swipes it all back into your bowl, cooked. Had to beat mine first cause I crammed it into a giant frozen chunk. And here I am in Arkansas, starving to death. A buffet here consists of green beans and mashed potatoes and other industrial size cans full of heart attack. fooooooood. I could just hitchhike back for one real bowl of pho and some real salsa.. but then I'd have that old life calling me... like a siren. I can still here it dimly all the way from here.. 24 hours a day.
Oh, all this talk about ethnic food! Now I'm obsessing on Adobo, real chili rejjano all greasy and crispy from the egg frying in deep fat. Refried beans with so much pork fat in it you stuttered like Porky Pig for a week after.
And here I sit eating healthy chicken salad with organic leeks and fresh cherry tomatoes from Wicked Wanda's garden (and oh they are sooooo sweet). I'm going to have ta go in and eat a cube of butter now.

Tim, would you PLEASE cut and paste, and post the salsa recipe?? I would appreciate it if you'd help me out with that. :o)
Also, I am having a 'woman's crabby week', no further explanation needed?? And have been eating the most gawdawful combinations... I must say, thank you, whomever it was that mention pickled herrings... I am DYING for smoked herrings in oil!!!!! And I am NOT going to the all-night overpriced supermarket for them so I will simply SUFFER... LOL
I did eat a bowl of kiddie cereal... but it was OK, because on top of all that sweet sugary crunch, I put about a quarter cup of wheat germ on top!!! Hahahaa like how I can 'make it seem healthy"?? I have also had a Cadbury almond chocolate bar, and am getting ready to bust out the hummus... this is my first day in a week without FRIED FOOD!!!! LOL
OK... I am actually JEALOUS... that's what my problem is tonight.
My hubby's boss took them all out for Alaskan King Crab Legs tonihgt... WITHOUT asking any of the wives!!! BAH-STAHD!!!!!
So I am CRAVING them sooooo bad!!!! I was sulking when he got home, so he fetched me up and we got in the car to go get me something good to eat, and then I decided, "Just take me to ACME (supermarket)", and I got roasted red pepper hummus and cereal..... what is WRONG with me!!!???
I decided I will wait to eat 20 oz. steaks and lobster until our vacation in 10 days!!!! Then I will eat like a pig. :o0
4 Lg. tomatoes VERY RIPE, finely diced. ½ Medium white onion, very finely diced. ½ C. diced, roasted red bell pepper (from a jar is preferable). 2 Tbsp. very finely diced canned jalopeños (or more if you want it hotter). 1 Clove Garlic minced (I used a garlic press...Tim) ¼ C. canned green chiles (Joni didn't say to dice these, but I did). 1 tsp. ground Cumin. 2 tsp. fresh minced Cilantro ( I adjusted it to about 4 after mixing cuz I love it...Tim). Juice of ¼ lime.
Mix it all together and have some good chips on hand!! Enjoy,
O.k. Joni, you asked Tim to post this, but I am filling in as his personal secretary, this evening,
so he asked me to take care of this......................................................
Red Pepper Hummas and Cereral, Like Captain Chrunch????? Are you trying to see how far you can push it, before hugging that large ring in the Bathroom, Hahahaha!
I'm with Wren on this one, just top of any good healthy meal with a cube of butter, that works for me. Must be that wiring thingy again, scrambling up.
Oh Yum, thanks Toni. Need to get the tums out, but now my mouth's watering. Just happen to have the ripe toms and fresh cilantro......and it's too late to eat it, but ohhhhhh tomorrow! ths again! Wren

Just catching up on all the postings before going to the grocery store... I am so hungry! Toni your recipe looks great! I make a very similar salsa but also add almost a whole can of corn to it. Yummy!!
It has been 3 weeks since my last venture to the grocery store and I have pretty much only condiments to work with. For breakfast I had stale chocolate chip cookies dipped in a can of hot fudge. Not as tasty as it sounds.
I actually have brownies just out of the oven still cooling... melted a quarter of a jar of peanut butter on top before baking, and then covered that with fudge frosting... MMM-MMMM!!!!
I broke down and got me some Alaskan King Crab legs today at the grocery... had a few for lunch... with half stick of melted butter, Wren....
PMS gives me a great excuse to do the most UNHEALTHY things!!! Yaaayy!!
