feeling hot hot HOT

I regret: adding so many jalapeno seeds into my salsa!

This week, I tried out a few new recipes. One was for hummus (yummm) and the other was for salsa. I am obsessed with salsa. If I am at a Mexican restaurant and they serve baskets of chips & salsa, it's hard for me to hit the "off" button. While I enjoy most salsas, my favorite type of salsa is Jack's Special: http://www.gardenfreshsalsa.com/products.asp. So I tried to find a recipe that sounded similar.

The recipe I ended up trying was from epicurious.com, and received RAVE reviews. It was the "Essential Chopped Tomato-Serrano Salsa," ole! Here is a link to the recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Essential-Chopped-Tomato-Serrano-Salsa-Salsa-Mexicana-Classica-14992

While making it, my sister told me to be cautious with the jalapenos' seeds (our grocery store didn't carry/I couldn't find Serrano peppers!), because honestly it's hard to judge how hot those little seeds can be. HOT-DAMN. The salsa made our mouths feel like they were on FIRE. Even though I only used 1/2 of the seeds from one of the jalapenos, it was too much! Next time, 1/4 of the seeds? :)
