Rick-Rack Attack Giveaway winner

July 26, 2008 By

Thanks to everyone who entered – I have NO idea how y’all chose JUST one of those pretty Aprons. I have a special place in my heart for Vintage Pretties – especially ones that show that they were actually worn, and used. I have one that has the name “Arlie” embroidered on the pocket. I always wonder who she was, and what sort of cook she was. The fabric of the Apron is butter soft, and gently worn, and even has the selvedge on one side – I will be sharing some pictures of my favorites in the weeks to come…

Back to the giveaway – that’s why you are here, right? ;-)

The winner of THEIR choice of Apron from Rick-Rack Attack made the following comment:

Quick & Dirty (but oh-so-good) Salsa

July 21, 2008 By

This is one of my most-often made recipes lately – we put salsa on EVERYTHING, and although this has a bit of bite, my boys love it as much as the grownups do!

Domestic Chicky’s Quick & Dirty Salsa

  • 2 Cans Ro-tel Tomatoes, original (you can vary the heat by combining mild or hot), drained
  • 1/2 onion (I used purple in the picture above), cut into chunks
  • 1 handful Cilantro (mostly leaves, but a bit of stems too)
  • 1t salt
  • 1-2t minced garlic
  • few grinds fresh black pepper

Put the onion, cilantro, salt, pepper and garlic in a food processor or blender. Pulse til finely chopped. Add tomatoes. Pulse again til desired texture is acheived (we like ours on the not-so-chunky side). Serve with tacos, fresh tortillas & butter, mix into avocados for guacamole, chips, nachos, or my personal favorite, Wheat Thins (I know, but it’s SOO good!). You can use other brands of tomatoes with chiles, but nothing beats ro-tel!

*If you have ever been to Chevy’s Restaurant (or Anchos in Riverside CA), and you love their Salsa, try this, and add a drop of mesquite liquid smoke – it will be a dead ringer!
