Dear Pagan Chef,
I love Mexican food, but my salsa seems to go bad quickly.
Can you suggest a solution?

Dear Salsa Problema,
No problema! There are 2 types of salsa--fresh and cooked. To make a
cooked salsa that will last a week or more, take 3 tomatoes, 3 dried chilis,
cover with water and boil for 10 minutes. While the tomatoes are cooking,
dice 1 onion, some cilantro and garlic. Place the tomatoes & chilis with
some of the reserved cooking liquid into a blender and puree. Mix
tomatoes with onion, garlic, and cilantro. Season with salt & pepper.
Enjoy!
