Salsa Success!

I have to say I am proud of myself. I actually got off my lazy butt and made the salsa! :D
After a long day of (mostly) sitting around, then going to the gym, etc. I was thinking "I am soooooo exhausted...maybe I will skip the salsa...::mumblemumblesomethinglame::" but then, instead, I told myself to look up the ingredients (as I still needed to go to the store, which, luckily, is about a 2 minute walk from my house) and I went and bought them, so then, of course I HAD to use them!
The chopping and dicing took a lot of time (like, I said, time consuming) and I was actually sure if I had bought a jalepeno, as the signs in the produce section weren't very well organized...but after one little nibble I know, definitely a jalepeno!
I used tomatoes and onion from my grandmothers garden. Garlic-scapes that she had bought, an orange pepper, cilantro, jalepeno, salt, pepper and a dash of lemon juice. Came out ok, maybe not as much cilantro next time, I don't have much any experience using it...though I also didn't measure anything, just kind of tossed it all together, so maybe tomorrow I will experiment more...cause it was good enough to try again!
ate it with tortilla chips with melted muenster cheese (the only other cheese besides goat cheese that I can eat safely)
