The following is a story making the rounds in our parental circle of friends…<\/p>\n

\nA couple visiting one set of grandparents with the first child, a 4 year-old, sit down for a snack. The parents have been working diligently with their child to practice basic manners, the “pleases” and “thank yous” of life. One of the grandparents offers the child chips for a snack, a suggestion met with enthusiasm by the child. The grandparent then brings a bowl of chips to the child.<\/p>\n

The child’s mother says “And what do you say?” <\/p>\n

The child says “Do you got some salsa?”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kidding aside, you may remember that 2007 is the year of the diet for me (and I’ll give an update on progress in the next couple of weeks) but today I wanted to share a discovery (in plain sight and in retrospect, an obvious discovery.)

\n\"Salsa
\n<\/center>
\nAs you can see, salsa does have calories, fat, and sodium and although these are small amounts per 100g (3.5 oz – weight, not volume) thus it is not a “free” food. The same is true of mustard, catsup, mayonaise, barbeque sauce, soy sauce, etc. These are so easy to miss\/forget I term them “invisible.” So, when you’re counting those calories, don’t forget the salsa!
