As you all know I take lot of pics and post step by step instructions with pics. The salsa was a hit so I decided to post the recipe but only have few photos of it. Then I thought this would be good test to see if feed burner sends this to my subscribers as they have not been receiving my feeds. I checked what was the problem and it says that I have too many pics. So I thought let me share this recipe with less pics and see if the subscribers gets this in their email.
I did make a lot of it, and used some for the party and some I took it to work and at both places everyone loved it !
