Some like it hot!


I'm talking about Salsa. Everyone loves salsa! Salsa is a traditional, Mexican side dish typically served at room temperature. I enjoy salsa at any temperature, just make sure it's spicy! My neighbor, Marylou, makes the best darn salsa in the world! She is Mexican and was born knowing how to cook all things Mexican I believe. Her husband was born in Honduras, so she cooks South American too. Marylou gave me a very simple, traditional salsa recipe I'll share with you here. I've made it and... oh wow! Delicious!

You can make this salsa with jalapenos or Tabasco-style peppers. She uses the latter, so do I.

  • 3 Roma tomatoes
  • 3 tomatillos chopped small
  • 6 small hot peppers
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped fine
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped fine
  • salt to taste
  • a little water
It's best if tomatoes and peppers seeded are grilled (blackened) - adds smokey flavor I like.

Combine all ingredients in a blender on "chop" setting. Leave chunky is what I prefer. Cover and put your salsa in the refrigerator for 2 days -- this allows some of the fire of the hot peppers to mellow a little! BUENO, MUCHO CALIENTE! Now enjoy with your crispy taco chips and beverage of your choice.

I hope you enjoy Marylou's recipe. Of course, back-off the peppers a little if you like your salsa mild.

Bipolar Express

What is Bipolar Express ? Why did I choose to title this message "Bipolar Express?" For those that have symptoms of, or who are already suffering from the disorder known as; being bipolar --  having one's doctor accurately diagnose this medical condition as soon as possible is very important!  I want to help everyone who might be suffering from the extreme highs and lows of these mood swings by providing some direction to reliable resources.

Texas' Big Bend Country

  How can I describe this snapshot of our Texas-Mexico border, taken on a trip we made to our Texas Big Bend country, other than spectacular ! We were driving Texas' state road 170 heading to Presidio from Terlingua. We were a little spooked since we were the only vehicle on the road. Along this section of the road, we didn't pass any other cars or trucks. I must say, this desolate part of Texas is just as rugged as it is beautiful! Every curvy turn of this lonely highway presented yet another picture postcard panorama. It would be hard to believe anyone would risk their life crossing such treacherous terrain, but I imagine some have, at one time or another. In the summer, temperatures go well into the hundreds and the dangers of heat exhaustion and death are very real! Diamond-back rattle snakes and scorpions happily make this desert their home -- we never saw any though. We held our breath while traveling on this deserted, stretch of road, not wanting to think of having any ...

Laminin - What holds us together

LAMININ. Today, my story is about Laminin, a tiny family of protein cells that is the sticky glue that holds our bodily tissue and microscopic cells all together. God's amazing creation! In our Bible, Colossians 1:17 reads: By Him (Yeshua) all things are held together. I believe it is by no coincidence that under an extremely powerful microscope we can see this little protein cell bears the shape of a cross ! (Graphic representation above.) There's more! I include these links below for my reader's convenience to more explicit information about this little Laminin fact. GOOGLE: "How Great is Our God Laminin Louie Giglio" A video featuring this great work of God! Louie describes our universe, and then, this amazing, tiny protein cell: LAMININ. Truly amazing! You will want to watch this video in its entirety. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+cross+in+our+bodies+by+a+physician+louie+giglio&&view=detail&mid=46E7CD8941087BBD7BA546E7CD8941087BBD7BA5...
