Garden Salsa!

Although Pollan's scavenging experience was rediculous, I have to admit I was pretty impressed at the meal he put together by only scavenging. So in lew of making food without hitting up heb, I decided to make something from the garden. Basically we just took every type of pepper we could find there...a nice medley of color: red peppers, yellow peppers, green bell peppers, jalapenos, ect. We also diced a few cerry tomatoes from the commons. Our dicing skills gave it a pretty chunky consistancy, it was more like pico de gallo to be honest, but nevertheless delicious! In my opinion a few too many of the jalapeno seeds ended up in there; it was super sicy!!! To take the edge off we squeezed one of the tangerine lemon hybrid fruits(the fruit that looks like oranges that are growing in the court yard in the middle of the library) which also gave it a nice kick of citrus flavor. We walked to wag-a-bag and picked up some tortilla chips and brought it to seaks potluck dinner. Feedback was all positive: ) but yes, I realize there may be some bias in how tasty it was considering college students tendency to appreciate free food and my love of peppers; I'm still proud of our creation.

Sorry I don't have a picture.
