I cheat on my husband...

... late at night, with electrical appliances. After trawling the internet.


Get your mind out of the gutters, folks! We trawl for RECIPES!!! :)


Here is my new boyfriend:

He is a gleaming specimen, shiny and strong. With a motor that rumbles my countertops.


Yesterday, we had a veritable orgy - making homemade salsa together, and chicken meatballs, too. We found a recipe for a free form Italian tart. He purred "Crossstttaaatttaaa" as he blended the ingredients. It came out beautifully. He can roll my dough any day, baby!


Man Mountain does not mind one bit about my affair. He actually encourages it. He gets to witness my unbridled joy and doesn't have to lift a finger. Unless he wants a sample of salsa.

1 15 oz. can peeled whole tomatoes

1/2 bunch cilantro, rinsed, no stems
2 jalapeños, seeded 
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
Dash hot sauce (I prefer Tabasco. And quite a few dashes).
2 Tbsp. lime juice

1 shot tequila - optional

2 garlic cloves - optional

Blend all in food processor until desired consistency.

You can also add two avocados and make this:

Not quite guacamole, but yummy none-the-less.
