Salsa and Bruschetta again

So part of learning how to cook is having the ability to make things again, without help. So today I tried to re-create salsa I was taught how to make over a year ago, and then also tried to re-make the bruschetta. I had mixed results, but generally it was a positive experience.

Salsa
chopped and mixed: 1 onion, 4 roma tomatoes, 2 jalapenos, some garlic, cilantro, and lime juice.

Results - well, it didn't taste quite right. I tried adding more lime juice but that didn't fix it. I think I'll do less onion next time and maybe more jalapeno? I don't know. Advice anyone?


Bruschetta - repeat
So this was my attempt at re-creating the Bruschetta from earlier this month. There were a few changes - I had much larger bread slices (which was a good thing for layering), and store-bought pesto (which was also good as it had garlic!).

Results - pretty darn good. I had forgotten to 'flip' the bread at first, but once I remembered, everything seemed to go well. The only downer on using larger bread was that after a while it got a bit soggy... but part of that was due to my over catering.

So overall, today's cooking adventure was a success.
