Salsa. I had a sudden craving for organic chunky Salsa. I used to have it quite a bit. It was another one of my lazy go tos ages ago. I had found one that tasted fresh, not like a tomato paste based sauce, more like Gazpacho with large bits of identifiable vegetables.
I had a Nacho phase but could not replicate a healthy version at home. I came across this jar and can no longer recall the brand name, but it made a great pasta sauce, especially if I added herbs and Parmigiano reggiano, the real stuff not the Kraft kind. Alternatively, fresh scallops and a little garlic. I had it so much, I salsad out until the recent craving.
There is no Salsa, I tell spouse.
People stopped dancing?
Not this Salsa. I do a little Salsa shuffle. The store didn't have any Salsa. None. It's like all those post-apocalyptic series, games and movies where people look for cans and jars in abandoned grocery stores to survive zombies , environmental disasters, alien invasions and weirdos.
They also ran out of eggs. During.The.Week! But guess what they had? Easter Eggs.
Easter Eggs?
Yup. Colored Eggs. Uncooked I assume. In JANUARY! IN JANUARY??? What's the thought process there? They can't be from last Easter or next Easter. Eggs don't keep that long. Some CEO said let's introduce Christmas Eggs?
"They're probably cooked so they can last longer."
My point exactly, I exclaimed. Nothing in this reality makes sense. As soon as I get over long Covsshh, I'm putting up an All Season tree with lights and seasonal or trendy ornaments.
Doesn't seem weird anymore.
Mormons produce a lot of items and we get stuff from them via the food bank now and then. Currently we have boxes of bags of of elbow macaroni and jars of salsa. Jan sent anyone home with a jar of salsa that wanted one since it's not an item on the list so it goes on the shelf for people to choose if they so desire. Anyway we finally got around to eating the one I brought home. It was good, chunky, don't remember if it was organic but good quality, not at all spicy, maybe even a touch sweet. So many people here have chickens that yard eggs are almost always available from someone. I haven't bought eggs from the grocery store in decades. Well, maybe once or twice. Of course, the sizes range from little to really big all in the same carton and a rainbow of colors. So easter eggs all the time.
ReplyDeleteCodex: Dip dyed eggs. Blue yellow red like for Easter.

DeleteIt's the advantage of where you live and I suspect one of the reasons you're so healthy.
That's the Salsa sauce I was talking about. Which brand is it?
I'll have to check. It's from the Mormons so not going to be available at your local grocery store, came from the regional food bank to SHARE.
DeleteAnd yes, I understood about the colored eggs, I was just remarking on the naturally diverse colors of chicken eggs.
Codex: Thank you. Missed your joke then my question is: WTF is going on?
DeleteDyed eggs in the grocery store? In January? That IS weird!
ReplyDeleteCodex: Right?! I was going to take a Pic but the shelver was right next to me. I'm baffled to be honest.
