Said it for over a dozen years, this is one of the greatest threads on the internets. Don't get to post much in the Jan-Jul because of track season but in the fall, I'm here for it. @BigDHornfan those B&G fuck, hard. And @sith_horn that smothered burrito is now on my craving list to make next Saturday when watching games.
Been making salsa lately. Folks at school just drop off bags and bags of produce from their gardens (tomato, jalapenos, cilantro, etc).
I was also gifted half a cow for Father's Day this summer and holy shit not only is it so much more cheaper than buying beef at the store, it's so much better quality. It was choice and not prime, but you could easily fool me. We got all the steaks and roasts we could and then the rest was ground. Came out to $3.25 per LB. Never buying meat from the store again. Especially with my two boys, HS and grade school, who have bottomless stomachs.
Salsa recipe I currently and tinkering with:
-Two large tomatoes, 5 cherry tomatoes, half of an onion, 2 tomatillos, 2 japs, 1 serrano (add more peppers if you like more heat).
-A little oil, a little salt. Broil and turn until everything is browned and roasted
-Add in lime juice (couple tablespoons) and half bunch of cilantro. Blend.
-Add in water, more lime juice, or liquid from the roasting pan to reach consistency you like. More salt as needed.
Just one more thing I haven't bought in years and will never buy from the store again - salsa.
