BACKSTORY:
While stationed at Point Loma Submarine base on the USS Dixon in 1989, a fellow shipmate [Boatswain's Mate] took pity on me and let me spend a couple of weekends here and there with him and his wife at their apartment. It was great to get off the boat sime as I had no car and San Diego was huge! His wife made the best salsa and gave me the recipe and I have been making it ever since.
