That's what my 8 year old daugther said upon tasting organic salsa for the first time.

I don't know where she comes up with this stuff sometimes.

So, my daughter has a friend from the school she went to for Kindergarten (before we moved). This friend spends the night (or the weekend) once or twice a month, especially in the warmer months (well, mostly spring I guess.
