all my nephews & neices plus my grandchildren (I married a grandpa) love
salsa - we've always had it around and "...enquiring minds want to know..."
so they tried it out cuz the big people were eating it - we have to teach
manners to the 2-yr old tho - he likes to keep dipping the same chip in the
bowl - needless to say, he gets his own bowl of salsa . . .
