If you know me you know I’m somewhat obsessively into chips and salsa.  It’s like a warm blanket on a freezing night or a cool pool on a hot day for me – essential comfort and utter bliss.  It frustrates me to no end that I have never been able to make restaurant quality salsa at home (besides pico) so I’ve decided to stop bitching and do something about it.  I’m on a mission to start trying out salsa recipes.  I’ll photograph and blog about my findings here.  I’m convinced the answer to perfection sits in a certain spice or hot pepper that I will need to seek out in little markets.   Let the project begin!
