ATV Fun at Monte Cristo

What do avid snowmobile riders do for fun in the summer? We ride ATV's. Dave and I checked out the dusty trails where we noramlly ride our snowmobiles in the winter. The terrain looks entirely different.

How do you like my tomato? After waiting patiently for months for this monster to ripen, it was with much anticipation that I plucked this vine-ripened tomato for use in a yummy salsa recipe.
Kathleen's Salsa Recipe.
5 tomatoes
1 Lime
1 white onion
1-2 bell peppers
2-4 Jalapeno peppers
1 bunch cilantro
1 small garlic clove
1 tsp salt or to taste
Bring to boil 2 quarts hot water. Drop tomatoes in boiling water 3-5 minutes or until skin cracks. Place tomatoes in cold water and remove the skins when cooled. Dice tomatoes in large plastic container. Add chopped onions, bell peppers, Jalapeno peppers, grated garlic, lime juice, and cilantro. Let flavors meld for about half an hour if you can. I can't wait that long. I always double the recipe because my family usually eats half of it before I even get the second batch of chips cooked.
