FOOD AGAIN!!!!!!

New Mexican restaurant today. The real question is how are the chips and salsa? What to you makes a good salsa for dipping taco chips in?
 
It's tortilla chips, not taco chips. Taco chips have taco seasoning on them (unless that's the way you like it in which case have at it). As for salsa I like it mild/hot (not hot hot where you can't taste anything else) with minimal cilantro (I don't like the flavor so little or none is for me). I can take or leave corn or beans in the salsa.
 
Correction accepted, my error, was late when I posted. Salsa just a little chunky, agree hot enough to be interesting, but not hot enough to be overwhelming. I often see corn in pico de gallo, which doesn't interest me at all. Salsa is, I agree, not to have beans or corn.
 
We buy chunky organic medium salsa, then add corn. It gives the salsa more volume for less money. We'd like to make it ourselves, but getting good tomatoes is very hard (except for about two weeks a year)

We usually buy premade corn tortillas and cut them into triangles then fry them in the skillet. Fresh hot chips and good salsa... yumm.. I think i'm gonna make some for Sunday.

Oooh, I've done that with extra tortillas we have after we make tacos or burritos, they are fantastic.
 
Ok because they are one my mind, and I just had a sandwich with these piled up on it, will repeat GW2 food thread.

Home Grown Tomatoes

Yes that deserves all caps. Not hothouse plastic tomatoes shot with gas to make them turn red. Real, genuine, minutes off the vine, tomatoes. My better half and I have been eating sandwiches with this on it. And what ever doesn't fit on the sandwich immediately gets eaten on it's own. And I have been keeping a supply of fresh cherry tomatoes in the fridge. When I happen to be by the fridge, grab one and om, nom, nom, nom.
 
I'm not much of a gardener so I don't grow them. My mom does and sadly, hers are usually just about as good as the organic ones you get from the store. They are typically small and full of brown spots.
 
All right from wonderfully healthy to probably the nadir of junk food.

Hostess Twinkies
 
I have fond childhood memories of twinkies but as an adult, they never seem to live up to that memory.
 
Don't care for Twinkies. If I must have a Hostess snack, I'd prefer a Cupcake or a HoHo.

Speaking of health food, my dad used to make HoHo sundaes occasionally when I was a kid. HoHo, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped topping. Hahaha it's making me sick just thinking about it now.
 
Cupcakes - when I was growing up the ultimate treat at our house was Hostess cupcakes - with the little squiggly lines on top and the creme filling. Next to that were Little Debbie oatmeal creme filled cookies. And tons of milk.

When I was a kid they were called King Dongs. The obvious double entendre was over used.
 
I don't like sea food in general, but my wife and son do so I cook them every so often.

One favorite is to get the ones skewered at the meat market, rub them with butter and garlic and toss them on the grill just as the steaks are finishing up.

I also started putting fresh shrimp in the Jambalaya recipe I've been making.
