Salsa and Fruit Salad day

Amazingly Eyes slept for 8 hours in a row!!! Woot! This meant that I did not need a nap this morning. I wanted one but didn't need it. After all I got 7 hours of sleep uninterrupted. Salsa! Salsa has been made and is currently marinating in a large pot. Mmmmmm! I love the smell of Cilantro. Okay lemme back up a bit.

I have been craving Salsa for over three weeks now. Ever since New Years I have wanted Salsa and not just any Salsa but Blankshield style Salsa. So since Eyes did not nap this morning like she usually does and you know after that long sleep I am not surprised I looked at the clock and said "hmm no nap for me but salsa can be started!" So I started chopping up the green onions, cucumber, tomatoes, Cilantro and Banana Peppers. Unfortunately I did have to stop my happy hacking to go pick Smiles up from school.

When we got home she wanted to make something too and so started writing down a recipe for her salad. Thankfully it was all fruit this time and not things Broccoli or peanut butter. So she (I did all the cutting) made a fruit salad that consisted of
1 Banana
1 Apple Pear (we like these and besides you get two fruits in one!)
1 Orange
1 cup of Strawberries
1 cup of Blueberries
Of course I had to run out to the freezer in the garage to get the strawberries that were out there. My mother froze alot of strawberries and this is even after all the ones she routinely gives away each year. You know what I don't mind. It means we can have strawberries in the middle of winter :)
