Doug, Since the "magic formula" is in every email message on the list (chile-heads@globalgarden.com), if he can not determine how to unsubscribe, there is only ONE way he should be allowed to cease getting Chile-Heads messages: He must sell his computer! While I am here, it is an excellent spring day in California. Yesterday, it reached 74 degrees at 2 p.m. Today is expected to be warmer, and tomorrow is expected to reach 80 degrees. This is planting time for me. I have a small garden behind my office that will get planted today. I have five large redwood pots. Four will get planted with Serranos, Habaneros, Red Savinas, Jalapenos, Fresnos, and Anaheims. The fifth pot is home to a small lime tree that survived our cruel <G> winter. It will have basil and cilantro as neighbors. At home, I have a huge garden. I began planting there last weekend. The peppers are in, the garlic, cilantro, and basil are in, and during the evenings next week the tomatoes, onions, squash, etc., will get planted. Happy Spring to everyone, and I wish everyone an EXCELLENT growing season! Now, here is my favorite salsa recipe. (I assure you I have eaten this one! <g>) I have been making this for about 15 years, and it has won several 2nd place awards. I always explain that if it were milder it would win 1st place awards. <g> ------------------------------------- Cuervo Salsa 3 lbs Fresh tomatoes, diced 2oz Jose Cuervo Gold tequila 1 T Fresh cumin, ground 1 T Chile powder 1 oz Fresh lime juice 2 T Grape seed oil 1 T Fresh basil, chopped 1 T Fresh oregano, chopped 2 T Fresh cilantro, chopped 4 T Fresh garlic, chopped 1 ea Large white onion, chopped 8 ea Medium green onions, chopped 2 ea Medium shallots, chopped 2 ea Large green chiles, chopped 1 ea Large green bell pepper, chopped 1 ea Large red bell pepper, chopped 2 ea Large Fresno chiles, chopped 4 ea Large Jalapenos, chopped 1 ea Large Serrano, chopped 4 ea Large Habanero, chopped 1 T Crushed red pepper 4 ea Celery stalks, chopped Directions: Mix ingredients together in an appropriate container, cover with a moist paper towel and place in refrigerator.
