Have you noticed lately that my posts are leaning towards the foodie in me? Nothing wrong with that. My “day job” consists mostly of drawing and designing and website-ing (huh?) and my biggest love is food. It is what I do to relax. Football Sundays spent at home are one of my favorite times. I literally cook all day. The kitchen is part of the family room (where the big screen is thankyouverymuch) so I can cook, bake, whip up, sling, roast, grill, saute’ and never miss a down. It is a gastronomical Super Bowl every Sunday (when I am NOT at the actual game) at my house.
But I digress. Today’s post is not about that other love of mine - football - but rather about the evil citrus tree out back that taunts me daily. Every morning when I wake - I notice that the limon tree has dropped some of it’s oh so precious limons. And we all know what my favorite thing to do with limons (key limes) is. SO you can understand my predicament. At 5 am. No breakfast yet. Those little limons whispering sweet nothings in my ear… “Are the mountain’s blue yet? And the mugs? Are they frozen?” And they do not fall one at a time - they fall in a posse.
It may not be super easy to see, but all those little yellow/green dots - key limes… Here is my bounty from this morning alone:
This morning, all I could think about was some fresh pico de gallo over fried eggs and potatoes and mmmmm hungry yet? Lucky me - fresh tomatoes and jalapenos in the yard as well - in NOVEMBER! (I have SUCH an advantage living in Arizona do I not??) 
I actually use more tomatoes then what is in the photo - but I started chopping before I took the photograph. Put me around knives and I gotta chop something. Weird, my husband just ran out of the room… So here is my recipe. Simple simple simple is the key to a good pico.Pico De Gallo
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/3 cup diced white onion
1 T chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 T seeded and minced jalapeno
1 - 1 1/2 t fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 t salt (to taste)
Combine all ingredients in non-reactive bowl. Serve chilled on anything and everything.
Can’t you just smell the freshness? More lime key recipes to come, if I don’t drink them all up first. 
I LOVE key lime anything. And, I love pico de gallo too... one of my favorite mexican foods. I could eat it on anything. We just returned from vacationing in Mexico and they had the most unbelievable seafood cocktail "bar" where there was everything from Shrimp, Crab and Scallops to Cocktail Sauce, Avacados, Ceviche and Pico de Gallo. My husband and I made many trips to that "bar" filling up our little cocktail dishes with different combinations each time. Mmmm - Delicious! I thought the combination with the pico de gallo added gave the cocktail a tasty extra kick that I want to try and duplicate at home. Thanks for the recipe!
How many beers will I need to consume to use all your limes? :)
Oh mah gah I am SO making this pico de gallo when my limons arrive!
