Memorial Day Weekend at 129 1/2 an El Gato

Hope everyone is enjoying this great weather we have been having as late - even the rain was a nice surprise.

This weekend its Bill West with Matt Jackson and Brain Sinclair on Friday 6:30 - 9:30, and then on Saturday, it's the return of Frankie and Rosemary to their regualr spot. Joining them will be Brian Sinclair and Ramon Dana - how about that for a line up? Roman returns on his own on Sunday - shoudl be great as always!

Favorite Recipe this week:

Since you are all gonna have yoru grills out this weekend - how about making some grat Grilled Salsa?

Roasted Salsa
(10) Roma Tomatoes
- just grill 'em until they get charred on all sides, but don't over do it
(2) Jalapenos
- Grill these also. Its up to you if you wanna take the seeds out first or after grilling
(3) Scallions - small dice
(1) Green Bell Pepper
- Don't grill this one
(1) Red Onion - fine dice, no grilling
1/4 Cup Chopped Cilantro
(I really like to leave this one a bit rougher chop then the rest of the stuff)

Place the Tomatoes and Jalepenos in a Food Processor and pulse lightly until still chunky, but smooth

Place everything in a stainless steall bowl and add the following:

1/2 C Franks Red Hot, or your favorite hot sauce
PInch Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste
2t Chili Powder
1t Cayenne

Chill it really well - and enjoy it with Tortilla Chips, or tossed in a salad with Ranch Dressing

Have a great Weekend everyone!
- Barry
