As a side note, I also love what is called salsa in the US and apparently pico de gallo in some regions of Mexico. The Yucatan (this region anyway) has it's own name for a mixture of raw tomatoes, onions, chilies and lime: Xni-Pek (pronounced shnipik, with the accent on the first i). I've been told it means dog's nose, because it's so spicy that it makes your nose run.

1) Great pics! Makes me want to adopt some of your dogs right away! (ouch! hubby just threw a book at me... how'd he know I said that?!)
ReplyDelete2) Great rooster-savin'! woohoo, rescued chickens! And that's a nice-lookin' coop, if I may say so.
3) Delores would be in my family, too, had I found her under OUR truck... bless her heart, she has MASTERED the look entitled 'pitiful!'
4) Are you familiar with Trout Fishing In America's song 'Pico de Gallo'? Something tells me you might enjoy it... be warned, tho: it is very silly.
