My Addiction

I have to confess. I have become addicted to salsa. Specifically salsa from Cristina's Mexican Restaurant. We got some for take out one night when my parents were here and since then I literally want it every day. I even convinced Ryan to stop by the restaurant on our way home from youth on Wednesday so we could get a to-go container. Sure, the chips are fine too, but I really crave the salsa. Is it because I'm pregnant? I don't know???? Ironically, I had eaten at Cristina's but never tried the salsa before I was pregnant. But for now, I will choose to say that I have to eat the salsa because it is what the baby wants.

I'm not sure why this particular salsa is so amazing. It's the perfect consistency and the perfect blend of spiciness. I'm not usually a huge salsa lover, especially when it comes from a jar from the store. I'm sure that there is salt and maybe some other not so healthy ingredients, but it also has tomatoes and onions, so it has to count as a vegetable, right? To make it at least seem healthier I also break the chips up small so that I'm eating more salsa and less chips. I think I may try making my own salsa using my food processor. I'll let you know how it turns out.

This is a bit unrelated, but my mom sent me this link of Maryanne, from Gilligan's Island, teaching how to peel a potato more quickly. The actress is actually herself, not Maryanne, but its funnier when you know that that's who she is. This is really an interesting video. If you have ever had to peel a bunch of potatoes, you know how messy and time consuming it is. I will definitely try this technique next time.
