SALSAS

Restaurant Style Salsa – Given by Sandra Bryan

1 28 oz can of whole tomatoes

1 bunch fresh cilantro

1/2 bunch green onion

1 can pickled jalapenos, to liking

garlic salt

      In a blender, blend the canned tomatoes (DO NOT drain) and add jalapeños one at a time along with some of the vinegar they’re marinated in.  Taste for hotness after you’ve added a couple of jalapeños and vinegar.  If it’s not spicy enough, then add more jalapeños, one at a time to your liking. Pour salsa in bowl. Chop green onions and cilantro.  Add to the blended tomatoes and jalapeños.  Then add garlic salt to liking.  YUMMY!!!!

Job opportunity

There is a non-member woman in our ward boundaries, who is deaf and is having foot surgery this Friday.  She is in need of help for about 3 weeks, a couple hours a day or so, M-F.  She is happy to pay someone to come in and help around the house and perhaps make a run to the grocery store or the bank, or pick up a child at school, etc.  She is willing to pay someone about $150/wk for the help.

 

If you are able to help please email the Relief Society as soon as possible.  The woman's name is Gerri Perna.  She lives at 691 Magnum Court.  She can "speak" to people using the hearing impaired phone service or emailed as well, so communication isn't a problem, despite her hearing problems.  

 

Thanks!

I have a nice desk that I just don't have room for anymore.  It is 71" by 36" with 3 drawers on one side and 2 drawers on the other.  If anyone in the ward wants it, they can have it if they will just come pick it up.  Otherwise, I'll try to sell it online.  Questions, or to arrange to come get it, call Mary Kaye at 499-2802.
