Regional "Contractor of the Year" Your children's charm connection... used to be a ketchup kind of gal. You know the type, al- ways drowning my fries in it, slathering it on sandwiches, dabbing it on burgers; and, of course, it was the mainstay of my meat loaf. For years, that Heinz bottle was a part of almost every table I set and seemed to be part of an amazing number of favorite dishes. Gradually, I found myself using it less and less. What was going on? I finally had to admit that something had replaced it in my culinary affections. I now crave salsa! Some recent studies now show that salsa has replaced ketchup as the number #1 condiment on the hit parade. The hotter the salsa the better, as far as I'm concerned. Unfor- tunately, my husband and chil- dren don't totally share my latest passion. No matter, whatever brand or style you like the following recipes are guarantee to make you say Ole. NOTE: Be warned, there are a lot of different types of prepared salsa on the market, most kosher, with some better than others. I happen to like the hot and chunky varieties best. You can even mail order five fantastic salsas from some of the top-rated restaurants in the United states by calling 1- 800-SAUCES1 (ask for kosher va- rieties). In order to get the taste you like best, taste test the salsa before using it in a recipe.
