Salsa, baby!
You will need:
5-6 tomatoes (firm not-quite ripe is best)
a bunch of green onions
1/2 a large white onion
1/2 a long english cucumber
a bunch of cilantro
about 1/2 jar of hot stuff. (my brother uses jalapenos, we use hot banana pepper rings.) I say 1/2 jar, because the ones we buy are big jars.
several clean, empty jars (or several hungry people in about 2 days).
something to pass the time. A movie or two that you don't need to pay 100% attention to is good.

You already have:
sharp knives
cutting board
large pot
Dice up all ingredients; smaller is better. Sometimes we leave some pepper rings uncut, cause they're pretty. Dump into a pot (including some of the hot pepper juice) and stir, leave for a day or two. Decant into jars. You want the liquid to barely cover the vegtables in the jars. It never lasts more than a couple months in our house, but is still good at the end of that time. Dunno what the actual shelf life is. Sometimes if it's not spicy enough, we add a few drops of tabasco or Frank's to each jar.
Enjoy!
