Sinister: Pineapple - Mango Salsa Recipie. No... really.

[John T. Cat, Esq.]

Get the hard mangos, not the really squishy ones. Firm to the touch.
Chop.
Get a fresh pineapple, and cut it up. Squeeze it to remove excess juice.
Mix excess juice with vodka and ice. Yum. Drink vodka drink while
completing recipie.
Cut jalapenos lengthwise and remove seeds. Cut into small pieces.
You may want to add other peppers for flavor and color. Also remove
seeds.
One white onion, add as much seems reasonable compared to the rest of
the vegetables.
Fresh cilantro. Salt, pepper. Maybe some crushed red pepper.

The hardest part is to get the heat from the peppers to mix well with
the mango and pineapple. You want to taste the heat, but not create a
situation whereas you would be eating along quite swimmingly and then
hit this clump of jetfuel. The easiest way to do this is to do it the
night before and let it sit in the refrigerator. Or mix very well. You
are trying to achieve a balance between the sweetness and the heat. Your
brain doesn't come across those two tastes in the same place too often.
So that surprise, along with the nuanced taste of the fresh fruit,
vegetables and herbs is what makes it good.

As far as chips, get the organic sesamie blues. They can be found in
health food stores. They have been hard to find as of late. They are the
only ones I know of that hold up when you try and scoop salsa.

Serve with wine. Spend $15 on a chardonnay.

Wine Ode
By Pablo Neruda
Wine the colour of day,
wine the colour of night,
wine with purple "legs"
or topaz blood,
wine,
starry son
of the soil,
wine, smooth
as a golden sword,
suave
as brushed velvet,
wine swirling
and suspended,
loving,
of the sea,
never bounded by a glass,
a song or man,
choral, gregarious
or intimate and shared.

You may want to serve with raw (or raw-ish) tuna. Seared in a little soy
sauce.
