Mike's Produce Truck


On my way home from work, I just pull over to the side of the road and shop for all the vegetables for my fresh salsa.  Now that's my kind of Fast Food! 

Today marks the One Year Anniversary of Taste With The Eyes. 
Having a food blog has been and continues to be a whole lot of fun, a learning experience, a terrific creative outlet,  a source of pride, and a way to make new friends. Thank you all.

LOL at fast food...these roadside dudes and produce stands are the best.

A little colour like red onion or pepper would pep up your salsa...seafood lovers unite!

Hi Peter - It did need onion, and it is minced, but in the main photo, you cannot see it. You are right and that is a key element. Maybe I should sprinkle some on top too?
Mike is great, what a cool thing to have him park right there.

Oh, I love those road-side stands. I always buy way too much fun, but who cares? It supports local farmers and makes us both happy.

Wishing you many more years of blogging for your sake and ours.
