"Gorgeous combination of chorizo, tomatoes, corn and more for a warm salsa with lots of cilantro. Can also be served cold, but give it a try warm."

When I pick recipes to make, I generally pick recipes I have a pretty good idea that we will like. This case was different. I'd never had chorizo or warm salsa but I was feeling bold. I'm so glad I was! This was completely addictive. I accidentally added too much corn so it was a little too sweet but made as directed, I think it would have been perfect. The sweetness of the corn and onions matches so well with the sausage and saltiness of the chip. We definitely liked it warm best. Thanks so much for sharing!

As my nickname might imply, one of my hobbies does have something to do with bikes. The motorized kind, I enjoy endurance motorcycle riding. I'm a big fan of car racing too, particularly the European stuff, road racing, and endurance car racing, not so much NASCAR, but no offense. The Beau and I get to take his car out once in a while for autocross and basically drive like speed demons and not get in trouble. I love driving in general and am one of the few nutz who enjoys shopping for cars. But I also love to cook. Believe it or not, my mom doesn't think I can cook. But she couldn't cook, so that's probably how she got on that track. My sister and I were latchkey kids and learned to help in the kitchen at a young age and I consider cooking a great outlet for my creative bits. I work full time but am in school on and off part time, plus try to keep up with current events and life in general, plus teach a weekly class to my co-workers, plus just hanging out with The Beau and all our good friends. Oh and I also pet/house-sit -- I used to do it for friends but recently hired on with a "company" and am now kinda one of their contractors. I'm a dog freak but don't have a good setup for dogs, so pet-sitting is how I get my dog fix. I have a kitty, she's 18 and at her age I figure she deserves a taste of whatever's on my plate.
