" Now that we have all our tomatoes cut, we’re ready to blend them. We want to blend them to kind of a lighter puree. We don’t want to over blend them so that our salsa doesn’t get too watery. At this point, if you’re using powder chili as appose to fresh chili, it’s a good time to put the chili in because you’ll get a good mix. Also, this a good time to add garlic if you’re going to put garlic; some people don’t use garlic. A lot of traditional Mexican salsas don’t use garlic. They kind of tend to hinder the taste of the tomato, but they also bring in a little spiciness. So if you’re going to use garlic, now is also a good time to get the garlic going. One thing to keep in mind when you’re putting in your chili is just how much you want to use. Everybody has they’re own taste. We used about 8 tomatoes here and we have I’d say 2 ½ cups of salsa. What I put in for I would say a medium spice is a teaspoon of chili powder. Now, you want to experiment to find just what’s fine for you."

on 8/2/2008 I dont now why but i like his hands though ;-)I dont mind the hat though. I think its his style and he keeps it on all the time. Its actually good to cover the hair when we are in the kitchen, it keeps the hair from falling all over the place and into the food, and thats also why some chefs wear that long white hat along with their white uniform.
