SALSA COMPETITION

Here we (Lyn, Janet, Leigh) are last Saturday dishing up salsa at the Holland Farmer's Market salsa competition. About 16 teams. All different kinds of salsa with varying degrees of burn. The guy next to us, who was wearing hot pepper apron and chef's hat, promoted his entry as "applesauce with a little bite." NOT. Not little. We pitched many, many of those sample cups that his customers couldn't finish because of its vicious hotness. But he won a prize, and we didn't, so ... next year we need to ramp it up.

Most of the kids gave our salsa a big thumbs up, though! I'll get Lyn to post the recipe. It was beautiful, tasty and contained complete protein ... so, healthy too! You could eat it for salad or as an accompaniment for fish or poultry.

Our spiel: "Our salsa speaks for itself."
