I'm completely addicted to this unique salsa/relish I've been making almost-weekly for over a month now.

It has all the usual suspects:
- Tomato
- Onion
- Pepper (in this case Poblano)
- Acid (in this case lime juice, but sometimes a pinch of vinegar as well)
- Salt and pepper (of course)

But these unusual items give it a unique flavor...almost like a gazpacho:
- Cucumber
- Celery
- Fresh and dried oregano
- Whack of extra virgin olive oil

Instead of dicing the veg, I slice most of them super thin. Comes out looking more like a salad than a salsa (which is good, because I'd be lying if I said I've never eaten it straight up with a fork ).

Put it on a burger or grilled meats and experience tears of joy.

I could go for some fettucine carbonara... I'm not even hungry, I just want an overdose of cholesterol.

I cooked a tri tip sirloin on the grill today. It is not a common cut of meat in these parts, and this was my first crack at it. Well, it was fucking amazing.

I dry rubbed it with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, sea salt and pepper. After that, I grilled it over indirect heat with hickory smoke for a little over an hour. What a fine meal, wish it were more common around here.

My dinner: A bowl full of berries with cream mixed with maple syrup, pepper and chili powder.

Can't stop eating Caesar salad lately! So fucking good!

I love cheese and crackers. It's so simple and so tasty!

+1! Damn yummy!

Another thing that rocks is homemade chicken soup!

Pizza with mozz..pepp...and cherry peppers

I was really expecting to be cooking for more than two tonight, so I made (how's this for randomness?):

- fried-crisp-then-roasted chicken thighs with a creamy, spicy, garlicky strawberry sauce swirled around the fucks.

- cilantro-heavy-red-pepper-and-tomato-sauced pasta, with more cilantro and provolone on top.

- a salad made out of red onion, fried eggplant, cunteloupe, red pepper, and roughly chopped cilantro, with a dressing made out of the red-wine, balsamic, sambal oelek, and caramelized onion reduction that I started the pasta sauce with, a bit more balsamic, honey, a shitload of black pepper, and thai basil.

and now I'm nomming down the rest of the salad hopefing people can come by and smell my breath.

I went to Spring Rolls and Yonge and Dundas today, SO YUMMY!!

Got lazy and bought a bag of Guacachips and a jar of Neal Brothers Habanero Salsa. Woooweee!

Had one of these today

Munching on these:



quite yummy!

Great flavor for my favorite snack chip. Too bad I never see it anywhere

I find them hard to find but when I see them I buy a few bags for sure cuz they're so dam good!

Best snack food ever (unhealthy, anyways) right here:

Never seen those ones before!

I remember the Rosemary one. I actually had to add more rosemary in it because it lack quite a bit of it.

Yeah I also found those cheap bastards they didn't put enough

I have yet to try one of those. I went to Dairy Queen a couple weeks ago and asked for one, but they had run out of the ingredients to make it.

The Dairy Queen by my place pisses me off cuz they put more of everything else than the damn ice cream!

You Vickie's fanatics have clearly (probably?) never tried these. I'm usually not into deep fried anything, yet seriously these things are closer to food crack than even raw oysters for me. Ok, almost as close. But seriously dangerous.

I've had them. I enjoy them. I also enjoy supporting a business from my home province.
