Jalapeno Happy from Tacodeli

Tacodeli in Austin Texas makes a “Blended Jalapeno Salsa“.  Had some at the house tonight.  I said “I think I’ll write about this”.  I sat down at the table to eat.  Moments later I heard my wife cry from the kitchen “Ow!  That’s food that hurts!  It’s deceiving!”

It is a smooth sauce, that you might expect was based on sour cream.  It looks cool and refreshing.  But it’s got a bite.  Pour it on!

Pickles and Jalepenos

I’ve been eating a lot of pickles lately.  Dill.  Only dill.  A while back my wife found some spicy dills by Vlasic.  I liked the bite (though it was subtle).  Sadly, the pickle flavour was not as good as that of the normal Vlasic dill, so I haven’t gone back to them.  What I have done, however, is to take a whole dill pickle, put it in a bowl, drop a bunch of jalapenos in, and voila!  Spicy dill.  I eat it with a fork and knife, which I admit is a bit weird.  But weird is the price you sometimes have to pay for a nice spicy dill.
