Well, after a very exciting week #10 Thanksgiving 5 game week/weekend, with two teams playing twice, last minute victories, upsets...... We got it all.
Again we have a 3 game football weekend. As exciting as the league is currently entering the final third. We still have a little extra time.
Let's see who can stand the heat.
What is YOUR BEST homemade dish. Whether it's Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or other, who cares.
A dish that you make yourself, not your spouse/partner or some frozen dinner you found in the bottom of your freezer and you put in the microwave. Get creative.
Maybe something you make for a potluck, holiday, that special person or game night.
It's been years since I've made it, but I used to make a mean beef stew. And then make a pie crust and use the stew leftovers for a nice meat pie the next day.
When I cook any type of eggs, I let them warm up to room temperature before cooking, for over easy or sunny, I cook on medium heat, in an greased (Bacon fat) pan, a pan large enough to so as not to crowd the eggs, I like a heavy pan.
I'm going to give my secret Salsa recipe (more of a guide) as I never follow a recipe.
10 - 15 Roma tomatoes - cut 3/4 inch cubes. 1 1/2 - 2 cups onion - cut 3/4 inch pieces. 1 1/2 - 2 cups red/orange bell peppers - cut 1/2 inch pieces. 1/2 cup of your favorite hot pepper - cut 1/2 inch pieces (optional) depends on your scoville scale. 3/4 - 1 cup celery cut - 1/2 inch pieces.
Place in large pot, sprinkle with 1/4 cup pickling salt. Cover and store in cool area for 12 - 24 hours. ----------------------------------
Rinse well, then soak mixture in clean water for 1 - 2 hours.
**Mean while, in a separate large pot. ** Add 3 - 4, 5.5 ounce cans tomato paste. 1/4 cup fresh finely cut garlic. 1 cup vinegar (adjust to taste) 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste) 1 tsp cayenne pepper - more to taste. 1 tsp each oregano, parsley, basil & ground mustard.
**Mix and heat. ** --------------------- Drain tomato veg mixture 10 plus minutes. Then add to the warm paste mixture. Bring to boil 5 minutes, reduce to simmer (lowest setting) for 1 plus hours. Alter sugar, vinegar to taste. Add water if too thick. -------------------- Follow canning procedure. Makes about 6 - 500 ml jars. Enjoy. You will never buy store bought again.
Remember all recipes are a guide, I never make it the same twice, I always go on taste.
