meal of the day: salsa!!

today was a good eating day. the local farms are booming and we are reaping the benefits. for lunch we had lentil cakes with a peanut sauce and sauteed snap peas. but it was sort of similar to this and therefor not eligible to be the meal of the day. it was great though, very fresh.

by a long shot the meal of the day was dinner....... chips & salsa!! (just chips & salsa... eaten on the couch... after the kids went to bed! naughty us!)

the tomatoes were fresh from our friend's farm and the cilantro was fresh from our farm. to me it doesn't get any better than that. i could happily live all summer on salsa and cucumbers. maybe that should be my new diet!

the salsa is so simple, our traditional recipe. just tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, salt and olive oil. that's the basics. chive, green onion, basil, garlic scape and corn will all make an appearance throughout the summer, but it doesn't matter. we will be scraping the last bites out of the bowl no matter what.

stay tuned for some serious baking action to be posted about tomorrow........
