As I was shopping in the market in Gainesville I realized I was doing what so many accuse outsiders of doing.  I was looking for the fresh salsa, garlic hummus, fresh chilies, and thinking what kind of place is this that does not have those basic food items.  How can one enjoy a beer ( that takes a special order) without something to burn the tongue?  

Then I realized that we are homesteaders, able to do for ourselves, to rise the any occasion, make do or do without.  So by looking at the Internet I found several recipes that look very doable with some substitutions.  So now I throw this to the ever resourceful homestead list members.  What are your favorite salsa Fresca recipes keeping in mind that though the gardens may be full of tomatoes and Garlic, the stores do not maintain a stock of fresh Serrano Chilies or Cilantro.

By the way I was suitable chastised for driving in the ruts, actually just bare places where the grass does not grow, and did not hear (many) complaints when I drove us to town the other day.  Maybe there was one when I almost run a stop sign with the cop car in view.
