Trying Something New: Sun City News Brief

This media project took me out of my element as I created my very own Podcast. This project included the special challenge of Using GarageBand for the first time with little instruction and background information. Although navigating through a new program was confusing, I was able to learn new tips and tricks that helped me gain confidence in using GarageBand for future projects.

This Podcast is centered around my hometown of El Paso, Texas. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 tomatoes, Diced
½ Onion, Diced
2 Jalapenos, Diced (with seeds for extra spice)
½ bunch Cilantro
2 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of Salt
2 limes (or as many as desired for flavor)

After all ingredients have been washed, begin by dicing tomatoes, onion, jalapenos and cilantro separately. Please be sure to remember that Jalapenos will add an extra spice to the dish if seeds are not removed before dicing. (If you desire less of a ‘spicy kick’ be sure to cut the jalapeno in half and remove its core by scraping the knife through its inside and then removing the remainder of seeds by hand.)

After, place all ingredients into a serving bowl and mix until all ingredients are spread out evenly. Once all of the ingredients are mixed, add salt, pepper, and lemon for taste.
