[CH] pickling

I was just talking to a co-worker about various pepper pickling methods.  He 
mentioned someone who cores out banana peppers, inserts hot dogs into them, 
and pickles them for eating as a snack.  Anyone ever heard of pickling 
peppers with sausage in them?

He told me about making salsa yesterday.  Sounds like he was working with 
either habs or datils, among other things.  He hasn't tasted the finished 
product, but he thinks it'll be pretty hot.  He was describing hunan hand to 
me - must have been a new experience for him.

I made my second and possibly last salsa batch for the year, Sunflower 
Salsa, yesterday.  Mom closed the tomato garden, saying she wants to use 
whatever is left.  So I used tomatoes from my apartment garden, plus a mix 
of peppers I had on hand, ranging from Hungarians to habs.  Since the 
tomatillos are taking over (thanks to all who issued warnings, now I know 
what you mean) I may make a batch of green salsa before the season is over.  
The Sunflower batch has toms and key lime juice in it, making it a little 
tangy.

Oh, and the cilantro is crowding the garden path, so now it smells like it 
when you walk by.
