Corn chips and salsa.

Speaking of corn chips and salsa, I have an addiction to baked
Tostitos and Newman's (or Imus Ranch) medium salsa. I have a slight
preference for the Imus Ranch salsa, but I also like the Newman's.

I can plow through a bag and a jar in nothing flat.

I like newman's tomato sauces. Not much of a salsa fan.

I think the best salsa is what you make yourself from fresh peppers,
onions and tomatoes. That bottled stuff always tasted like ketchup and
chili powder to me.

I agree. The stuff in jars is full of salt for flavor, instead of the
flavor of fresh veggies, and it's pulverized into a slurry!

You haven't tried Newman's or Imus then.

Try them sometime - they are pricey, but worth it.

And both, I think, donate the profits to charity.

Yes they do - all profits in fact.

Years ago when I was still active in EMS education, I used to do all
the CPR training for The Hole In The Wall camp in Eastford. I was
invited to one of their "affairs" for volunteers and met both Paul
Newman and Joanne Woodward. Great, down to earth types - very easy to
approach and talk to.

The Imus Ranch stuff has generated a lot of negative press, but there
was a local kid who went and came back a very changed kid - she really
enjoyed the ranch and learned a lot while she was there. Her mother
told Mrs. Wave that the one week experience changed her view on the
world.

Which is good.

I don't think the Imus Ranch has ever been seriously questioned, although a
couple of ambitious journalists tried to create a controversy. Their
"questionable activity" theories were quickly proven to be BS.

Imus's problem was his "Ho" comment, which also was completely blown out of
proportion IMO.

He has changed from his old, obnoxious "shock jock" behavior of the 80's and
90's and has become a serious political interviewer/commentator in an
entertaining way. I look forward to listening/watching again.

Most "homemade" salsa's aren't worth the powder to blow up. Maybe you
have a decent recipe, but I haven't had one yet.

Newman's or Imus for consistency, thick veggies and a nice balance
between taste and heat.

I don't think I could buy Imus's salsa.
