Another VERY Interesting farm box blog

To my 4 followers, I do not intend for my blog to become "what I cooked out of my farm box." it's just what's happening now. Got a butt load of tomatoes. I've been wanting to make salsa since I never have. And, because of the extremely complex nature of the task, I thought it would be quite an accomplishment if I mastered it. I mean, the precision cutting and exact measurement of the ingredients- it takes quite a lady to pull that off. As I unloaded my box and packed my fridge, I found 5 beets from the last box. They were a little soft, but I figured I'd roast em up. Got that going and started looking for recipes. Where were we without the Internet? Found lots of recipes. I found a roasted salsa recipe that told how to roast tomatoes and peppers in a skillet. I've done over an open flame, but it was too much work and my hAnd/arm got too hot. With this,you line an iron skillet with foil and put the tomato and peppers on that. It was a lot more work that broiling them with all the flipping, but it best waiting on the beets (which took over an hour. Geez beets, I was tired. Had been up since 3:30a!) the roasting worked great. Oh there was also garlic in there, too. Food processed that up. It was yummy, but pretty dang spicy. Thankfully, I only made Bout a cup and a half. Still had lots of tomatoes and a couple of Peppers along with the overload of onions- so i made some pico. It was friggin' good. The beets turned out great, too. I am surprised I like them. They are weird but good, like my friends.Now I gotta cook a bunch if squash. Please stay tuned for another exciting edition of "what the heck am I gonna cook with this?"
