NEVER Buy Salsa Again | Make yours in 10 minutes

Most store bought salsa sucks

Watered down preserved xerox copies of what once was an incredible dish…

But it doesn’t have to be that way

Ever since I saw a friend make salsa at home I’ve been hooked

Like a mad scientist in the lab tweaking and testing

Trying to make the perfect salsa…

If you love salsa - try this recipe out and tweak it to your liking

It takes about 10 minutes of prep time

Fire Roasted Salsa

• 6 Tomatoes (About 2lbs) - any kind
• 1-2 Jalapeños (1 for mild, 2 for medium, add a serrano chile for HOT)
• 1 white onion, halved

Put these on the grill for a few minutes until they start to blacken

(Or put them in the oven on broil for 5mins instead)

Flip, blacken the other side and pull off to let cool

Then pull the stems off the Jalapenos and serranos,

Toss it all straight in the blender and add:

• 1 handful cilantro, loosely chopped
• Juice from 2 limes
• 3 tsp salt
• 2 tsp black pepper
• (Optional: 2 TBS Vinegar for a little kick)

Blend until it’s your favorite salsa consistency and boom, fiesta time!

If you try this out or find some improvements, I’d love to know!

What are your Greatest Strengths?

Do you ever feel like you’re bouncing around from task to task?

Like you’re putting in work and not seeing results..?

I get it when it’s time for taxes or paperwork 💀

Some people see that and say, well you’re weak in this area

You need to work on this area

Bring your skills up…

But this book prescribes the opposite

It claims if you’re weak or lacking passion in that area - don’t do it

(Hire an expert instead)

FOCUS only on what you’re inclined to, what you’re good at

By leaning into your strengths you can deliver exceptional value

For me that looks like more time building beautiful bikes

And leave taxes to the professionals

This is a thought provoking read and maybe it can help you too see your strengths in another light

There’s a paid test that goes along with the book that gives you a report on your strengths

Burn The Boats | Comedy Special

If you appreciate a good laugh, and some unfiltered silly humor

This stand-up special from Joe Rogan is a must see

Honestly I never cared much for his stand-up before

It seems like he’s really leaned into who he is and put in the work

The writing, the connections, the energy all come together to make for serious laughs. 

Watch on Netflix here

That’s it for today’s top picks, 

Hope you have an awesome weekend and get some delicious salsa too if you’re into that kinda thing haha. Our week here has been busy and super exciting with Weapon delivieries!
