Recipe - Fresh Tomatillo and Tomato Salsa

My dear daughter-in-law made a really fresh tasting salsa for us one winter when she and my son came up to Fort Wayne to visit us for Christmas.  Princess is a pretty easy going girl so she didn't complain when she had to process the ingredients in spoonful-sized batches since I didn't own a standard size food processor.  It was Christmas after all.  Her festive smile never faltered, not even when I couldn't find the stopper and she had to use her hand to cover the holes in the top of the plastic processor bowl.  That was the year I made a special drink in her honor, to sort of smooth things over.  It's called Crystal Meth and I'll give you that recipe another time.
