TEX-MEX HOT SAUCE One 16 ounce can of peeled stewed tomatoes 1/2 medium onion 4 fresh jalapeno or 8 serrano peppers 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp. olive oil 1 tsp. vinegar Salt to taste 2-3 sprigs fresh cilantro Mash the tomatoes. Chop onion, peppers, garlic & cilantro. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. You have it right when the colors match the red, green & white of the Mexican flag. You can use fresh tomatoes of course. You can also do this in a blender, just whirl all the ingredients very briefly after mixed. Great on everything! |
RECIPES Gen's Meat Loaf 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef 1 egg, beaten 1 onion, chopped 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 can tomato sauce (8 oz.) 1/4 tsp. salt 1 cup fresh bread crumbs Mix above ingredients, form into loaf. Place in shallow pan at 350 degrees. Meanwhile, combine the following: 1/2 can tomato sauce (8 oz.) 1 cup water 2 tbsp. brown sugar 2 tbsp. vinegar 2 tbsp. mustard (regular yellow) Pour sauce over meat loaf: bake about 1 hour more, basting frequently. Serves 4-6. I usually add a little garlic powder and make a bit more of the sauce so it really has lots of sauce on it. Enjoy! This was one of my Mom's favorites. |
THE SPIRITS The moon shines through the trees Turning them to silvery-white. The branches form shadows; Rising out of the ground, a mist. The spirits will walk tonight. The bitter cold will warm them. The icy moon will fire their desires. Their cold natures will burn with fiery passion. Yes, the spirits will walk tonight The full moon is suddenly totally black. The ebony stillness lasts only a moment- And the spirits are there- Standing beneath the trees. Their white shrouds appear even whiter in the moonlight. They drift away-arm in arm- Off to the secret places which only spirits know. The moon still shines through the trees And the trees are still silvery-white. The branches still form shadows, And the mist is still ascending. But, the spirits, two together in body and soul, Are gone-Forever. Written 1970-1971
Written by Lorenza AKA Kathi AKA Kat I had just gotten back from a trip to Europe where I learned so much about life and love and everything in between. Great times and I will never forget them! |
These two cats are MGD and Spyder, a brother and sister who joined my home after
Tigress passed away. Spyder is the calico. They are wonderful cats, and my
life would not be complete without them. |
This is Tigress, who was one of the neatest cats ever! She lived to be 16 1/2
years young and had the softest fur I have ever felt. See her new memorial
card below, right under her daffodil! |
Spyder and MGD are two of my three cats and they are going to be nine years old this
April 1st. I adopted them from the Animal Defense League in San Antonio in 1993. They were preceeded by Tigress, who lived a happy long life from
1977-1993. Here are photos of Spyder and MGD and also one of Tigress.
Be sure to check out the photos page for more pictures of the cats. BlackJack is my newest kitty and he is so happy to have a home! Pictures are
pending as soon as I can get them posted. |
This is a page about a lot of different things. I will include some of my favorite
photos, a few recipes, poetry and whatever else comes to mind. Salamagundi
is a salad made with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, carrots and cucumbers
and is marinated in vinegar (preferably wine vinegar). My mother used
to serve it often, and as it is a combination of many things, I thought to call
my page Salamagundi. Check out the images as many have links to cool
sites I have found. Please be patient, it takes a minute or two to load.
In searching the web, I found out that the original recipe for Salamagundi
is quite different than my Mother's version. It was a favorite pirate food.
I have put two of these recipes on another page and you can view it with this link
or by clicking on recipes link further down the page.

I am a native Texan and live in San Antonio, Texas. I am proud to be a Texan
and so are my three cats. I am very proud of the fact that their photo
was chosen as one of the Best Cats of 1999 on Cat Delight 99. MGD & Spyder are on Gallery E. |
"Growth" was written by my grandmother Lillie |
Living is loving, Loving is growing. Enlargement of vision, Calls life to a mission. Selfless devotion Brings forth wisdom's dawning; Fullness of joy Like the beauty of morning! Growing is living, Living is loving. |
