In Alaska they have major festivals. The Alaskan people have some distinctness in
their Christmas feast and decorations. Carols and hymns are sung by the people and family homes reverbrate music. The songs are Alueut words bristuusaaa suu’uq or Christ is born. Each family ends the songs by saying Mnogaya leta, or God grant you many years. When carols end
the master invites them in for maple
frosted doughnuts, cookies,
candy,
pirunk, or sometimes fish pie.
Fresh Tomato Salsa We try hard to grow tomatoes here in Alaska's temperate rainforest. A green house or a covered deck are your best bets. No place to grow tomatoes, then your nearby grocery store is your only hope. Once you have homemade fresh salsa you will never go back.... 1 1/2 lbs. diced ripe tomatoes (Roma tomatoes are great) 1 Jalape単o chile, remove the white ribs, the seeds and mince the chile 2 Serrano chiles, remove the seeds and mince 1 small miced red or sweet yellow onion 2-3 cloves of minced garlic Approx. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro ? teaspoon cumin powder (optional fresh ground pepper, to taste lime juice, to taste sugar (optional) Place tomatoes in a colander over the sink (or bowl) and let drain for 20~30 minutes. Discard the juice and transfer tomato to the bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. For more heat, include both the ribs and seed of the chilies. This is where I add the cumin. Adjust the flavor with lime juice, salt and pepper. Measurement of the lime juice will depend on your preference and also the ripeness of both the tomato and lime. If the tomato is too acidic, add a little sprinkle of sugar to balance things out. The fresh salsa should be covered, and placed in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Doing this will allow the ingredients to marry, creating a more intense and well-incorporated flavor. Serve with chips & guacamole, atop of your favorite grilled fish, burrito, beef tacos or anything for that matter; the possibilities are endless.
Jimmy Crack Corn Completely addicting! Use holiday M&Ms for added color at Christmas. You can add other holiday treats to the mix as well. Just use your imagination.
