One sure way to forget that it's 100+ degrees outside is to eat some of J.'s famous (or is that infamous?) 4-alarm salsa. it is in the pic in all its fiery glory. I could tell what he was doing as soon as I walked in the back door because it singed the hairs right out of my nose.
It's been so hot outside the past two days that there's no way I'm venturing outside other than to go to work and make sure the chickens and the garden have water. So I have no new garden pics to share with you tonight, but I thought I would give out some linky love to some new cyber friends and great blogs that I've come across in my latest digital wanderings.
First, a great big thank you for Laura over at Laura Williams Musings for featuring me as part of last week's Carnival of Home Preserving! It was my first time participating, so it's an honor to have her select me as one of the feature posts.Okay, now how about some yummy recipes to go along with that salsa? Might as well heat up the kitchen some more.
Sarah is making my favorite dessert over at Sarah's Kitchen. I had these at Panera Bread and almost fell out of my chair. They are THAT good, people! If you are a chocolate lover, you've gotta try them.
And last but not least...how about celebrating the Fourth of July with these scrumptious rootbeer float cupcakes from Cupcake for Party? They're made in shot glasses and so adorable. I may have to make these for the gang at work. There are so many creative ideas being shared and I love reading about what everyone is up to. If you've posted about a creative idea or recipe, please share it with us by leaving a comment.
Now pass the chips, will ya?
Thanks for the shout-out, J and S, and that salsa looks so good, but we can't take the heat anymore! Man, you're right it's hot out! Thanks for all the neat links, I'm about to go look at them now.
ReplyDeleteThat batch is more like 2 alarm than 4! Well, maybe 2.5.
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted it to be HOT! I'd have thrown some habanero in there...
