Recipe: Roasted cubanelle salsa
It’s possible that you may have seen my picture of the roasted cubanelle salsa on Instagram. If you are having a party, this is a great recipe to wow your friends and family with. It replaces the boring pico de gallo you can buy at the store and it makes a great dip for your tortilla chips.
Roasted cubanelle salsa It can also be served over chiles rellenos or used as an enchilada sauce. Really, the possibilities are endless. 🙂
If you would like to make this, here is the recipe:8 cubanelle peppers, topped and seeded
2 medium size tomatoes, very ripe
2 jalapenos, topped, with seeds
3 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons chopped of dried onions
1/2 a teaspoon whole cumin seed
1/2 a cup white vinegar
Salt
PepperDirections:
Put the cubanelle peppers, jalapenos and the 3 cloves of garlic on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, Salt and pepper to taste.
Roast in the broiler on high for 5 minutes, take them out, turn them over and roast for another 5 minutes or until they begin to blister and brown.
Remove them from the oven and while the pan is still hot sprinkle with the cumin seeds and chopped dried onions on top and toss together. Let rest for 10 minutes.
During that 10 minutes chop up the tomatoes and place them in a blender. Scrape all of the peppers, cumin, dried onions into the blender on top of the tomatoes, add the vinegar and blend until smooth.
Serve and enjoy!

Mail Theft: A growing problem and how to help stop it
Our mailboxes after being broken into After speaking with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and doing some research, I have some pointers I would like to share with you:
1 – Don’t have mail or packages delivered to your home. Seriously, no joke.
Get a post office box or a mailbox at a ‘postal annex’ type place. The advantage to a ‘postal annex’ type location over the Post Office is independent mail locations accept USPS mail AND UPS/FedEx – the Post Office will only accept USPS mail. You might need to drive to the mail box store to pick things up, but you will know that your Amazon package is safe there.2 – If you are not into the idea above, or the cost for a separate mailbox is outside of your budget, be sure to pick up your mail from your mailbox EVERY SINGLE DAY. Not every other day, not once a week. EVERY DAY! If your mail isn’t in the mailbox over night, then your mail doesn’t get stolen by tweekers. It is really that simple. Tweekers and thieves typically work in the dark of the night, if your mail is already in your house – you have already made the best defensive move.
3 – If you have packages delivered to your home while not there, be sure to get a HD camera for the front door area. Make sure it works and is motion sensitive. Use it everyday. While some thieves will still take your package, if they see a camera, some will just move along after seeing others arrested when the videos of thieves go viral on social media.
4 – If your mail or packages are stolen, don’t just post about it on FB or IG, FILE A DAMN POLICE REPORT. For real, my mailbox has 12 slots and I was the ONLY PERSON TO FILE A REPORT in my neighborhood according to the deputy. Crimes are not going to report themselves, nor does your local patrol officer have time to be checking FB ‘community talk’ pages to see what crimes have been going down. Get on the phone and call PD so they know what areas to step up patrols and if the dirtbags thieves are caught – you will likely be notified if your items are retrieved as part of an arrest. As well you can report suspected mail losses to Postal Inspectors by calling 877-876-2455 (press 3) or at postalinspectors.uspis.gov
