December 29th, Sonja’s Spicy Banana Salsa

5 small / 3 large ripe (but not mushy) bananas - Halve each banana length-wise & Cut into thick slices
1 small handful of mint - Thinly slice

(I hate the term “handful” in a recipe; it always send me into a spiral of doubt wondering whose hands are they talking about…does the person have big hands or little hands and are they the “Mound it to the sky until it spills over” type of person or more of the “Less is More, Contented Minimalist” type of person??? Am I the only one that struggles with this subjective cooking term? Anyway, if it helps, I tend to be more of the modest handful type and everyone at Katarina’s birthday party seemed to think my interpretation of this recipe turned out pretty good.)

1 or 2 little spicy red peppers - Remove and Discard seeds, Wash hands, Mince the pepper

(Be sure not to give someone a taste of the salsa using the unwashed fingers that you just used to scrape out the pepper’s seeds; that only results in tears, fire dancing and general agony - not that we know that from first-hand knowledge or anything. Why would you think that???)

1 Lemon - Squeeze juice over all ingredients

Mix and Enjoy
