Salsa and Guacamole

There were fresh, homegrown tomatoes available … so I made some salsa:

6 large tomatoes, diced
5 jalapeno peppers, diced finely
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 large onion, also diced
juice from 1/2 of a fresh lime
Salt and pepper

The jalapeno peppers were not spicy, so I might use habanero next time, but this made a great fresh salsa. And I realized that guacamole is pretty much the salsa mixed with mashed avocado.  I took about a third of the salsa, drained the liquid, and added it to three large, ripe avocados mashed up.

Quickref: tmux

Our newer servers don’t have screen – and you cannot install it – so I’ve had to start using tmux:

# list running sessions
tmux ls

# Start a new session or reattach to an existing session named LJR
tmux new-session -A -s LJR

# In session, detach
ctrl+b d Detach

# attach to an existing session named LJR
tmux attach-session -t LJR

Vanilla Chia Pudding

Ingredients:

  • 14.5 oz can of coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup of chia seeds
  • 1 vanilla bean

Scrape the inside of the vanilla bean into the coconut milk. Mix in the chia seeds, then place in the refrigerator overnight.

This was a dessert for a Fourth of July party, so we topped it with raspberries and blueberries to make a red, white, and blue dessert.

For a sweeter dessert, add a tablespoon or two of maple syrup or honey.
