Kitchen Adventure: Salsa Without a Recipe

I am going to make salsa. Maybe I should look up a recipe. Nah, that's overrated. We'll just see how this goes.

Cutting board, knife, tomatoes, onion, cilantro...yup, gang's all here. Okay, let's do this.

I never know how to cut up an onion. Who's the world's worst onion cutter? Me. They always look so...mangled when I'm done with them. Wait a second, this one's not bad.

Okay, let's give this food processor a whirl. Haha, whirl...

Oh, food processor. I love you. No, seriously. Those onions are a thing of beauty. Oops, now they are almost liquified. I think I got a little overzealous there. You are my new favorite kitchen appliance. Please don't tell the microwave.

How much onion is too much onion for salsa?

Hmm, can this go in the garbage disposal? We're about to find out. The worst that can happen is it will break, right?

Um, how do I know when this disposal is done digesting this stuff? Well, it sounds slightly less malicious now, so let's just call it done.

Oh, tomatoes. You remind me of my first job where I got to cut a lot of foodstuffs up in the back. Hey, cilantro, you know what? You do, too. *lightbulb* Can you go in the food processor?

Okay, maybe the cilantro in the food processor was not such a great idea. It looks pitiful now. But my affection has not been diminished by this. Food processor, you still rock.

Mix, mix, mix. Wow, that's a lot of onion.

A dash of lemon juice. Okay, that was probably too much.

Holy onions, Batman! Um, maybe I'll just stick this back in the fridge. Coldness calms down an onion's intensity, right? Sure.

I think I'd better find the Tums. There will surely be heartburn involved in this somewhere.

This sounded like a good idea in theory...and would probably make some killer nachos.
