I bought a set of these excellent devices years ago for disassembly of spent rocket motors, they work equally well for jars
-
one more - fresh salsa - the secret is lime juice and fresh coriander/cilantro, everything else is just bulk - I wander the farmer's market and supermarket to see what's fresh
pull out the food processor and chop up fresh stuff to taste (not too small) - I usually add:
- spring onions
- capsicum
- garlic
- red onionsI love chilies and will happily throw enough in to make sure everything tingles - when we have a party I add a little at the beginning and split the salsa for the kids and timid adults, and then bulk half of it up with the rest of the chilies to be good and hot, then throw a whole chili on top as a general hint
Tomatoes are an interesting issue - fresh ones not chopped too fine are OK but if they're not in season (or just stupidly expensive) mixing cans of tomato puree and diced tomatoes works quite well
And don't forget run some fresh coriander/cilantro through the food processor then add lots of fresh lime juice - that's the key

Our pizza hack is very simple - use pita bread for the bases - do individual sized portions and put the ingredients out so the kids can build their own pizzas
-
BBQ time: buy corn on the cob, limes, chilli powder (not flakes) - put the chilli on a plate, cut a lime in half, use it to pick up the chilli and spread it onto the corn, squeezing to dribble lime juice onto the corn at the same time - throw it on the BBQ next to the meat (putting it in foil if that's your thing) cook until the corn changes colour
(this is a common street food in India)

When I heard Lianne on the radio this morning I thought that holding off the by-election until after the mayoralty election made a lot of space (who wants to steal their own media thunder) ... but then the cynic in me thought "but then, if she loses, she could run for her old seat again ...."

Well done Hannah - really the only way this sort of hate will stop is if more people like her stand up, sure Eden Park should have done more, and their response was quite sad - but shame on all those other people who were cowed by these oafs
I guess we need a couple of All Blacks to get married in the Woman's Weekly ....

Legal Beagle: D-Day for Dunne (updated), in reply to Euan Mason,
So, PD, what is your precise definition of, “leak the report”?
And what do you mean by "professional relationship"?

Hard News: A plea for sanity on the…, in reply to Russell Brown,
Er, wut? Sports fields, yes. I'm pretty sure the government pays for schools and universities.
What the government doesn't pay is the rates - Otago Uni doesn't pay rates in Dunedin (it does voluntarily pay some water related fees), every time they buy out a new local building it goes off the rating roll while the city still has to pay for the roads/etc that service the Uni
This is probably a hangover from the time when Universities used to be local authorities in their own right

lets not forget that every November most NZ communities still make an effigy of a religious terrorist and burn him on a bonfire ....
