She's a pro.<BR/><BR/>We have a restaurant in Houston, the Red Onion, that does a great pineapple salsa, but I think mine is better because I make it a bit zippier. I also do a mango salsa.<BR/><BR/>Check out YouTube for etiquette on eating hot dogs!<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T69HDek6a3k<BR/><BR/>billBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921039513056888571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712940.post-37813067325173950662008-07-05T16:43:00.000-05:002008-07-05T16:43:00.000-05:00As I read this, I was eating a freshly roasted ear...As I read this, I was eating a freshly roasted ear of corn-which I soaked in water for an hour prior to grilling.

You look a little bit alike around the beard. (grin) We had our All-American 4th of July yesterday afternoon/evening with some international flavor. Our "adopted" Chinese daughter Lei with her Texan husband Carl, their 3 yr old son Charlie (named after Chuck), their 5 week old daughter Caroline plus her Chinese parents here from Hunan and her sister Gia here from Sichuen province.<BR/>Chuck and I both cooked until we were slightly red in the face (no blue faces in July in Texas). We had his famous bacon potato salad, cole slaw, cantaloupe & pineapple, chips & dip, sugar-free peach tea "sangria" punch with blueberries, raspberries & peaches in it, sugar-free apple pie (with Blue Bell vanilla ice cream) PLUS grilled corn, grilled Hebrew National hot dogs, grilled burgers and grilled Brats & Polish sausages. The sausages, hot dogs all disappears (almost) while I was finishing the burgers (too thick, and then I ran out of GAS! eek... had to finish them in the oven.) Oh well, at least most everything got grilled. <BR/>In an atypical arrangement at my house, my husband does most of the cooking except for salads, breakfast foods and anything sweet (he's diabetic). I grill or BBQ being the only native Texan in the house. He's a jewish Detroit boy who came to Texas to be journalist and stayed* over 30 years now.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893113808078485167noreply@blogger.com
