I plan on making a stop in there now. > I similarly willsearch some Marshall's out here. Along the same lines, I picked up some trendily-named-and-packaged ("La Frontera Grill"?) Guajillo salsa "recipe from central Mexico" at Marshall Field's, downtown Chicago. $5+ for a 16-oz. jar, but I can't recall trying guajillos so I went for it. NICE flavor, with a smoky, tamarindo-type taste to it courtesy of the guajillos. For a "medium" it was rather mild, tho, even by non-CH standards. So NATCHERLY I wanna try and duplicate/improve upon this taste. I buys me some dried guajillos. Nice eye-opener when eaten like dried fruit! (YKYACHW?) Now I gotta surf youse's Ring of Fire pages in search of recipes! Item last: I found a reasonable substitute for Lol-Tun's hab. salsa, after my lil' CH#2 BROKE the lil' bottle: A hab. salsa from "La Adelita," an L.A. outfit that imports from Mexico. Try it! Only $1.39 at Supermercado El GUero (umlaut-diaeresis there). Instead of Lol-Tun's hab/carrot approach, they use comino (cumin) in it, which you can DEFINITELY detect. Tastes like "La Viuda" salsa with a NICE hab. kick, complete (?) with minor scalp perspiration. FYI Judi &c: "Budin" or "Pudin" are "Spanifications" of "pudding" > BUDIN AZTECA > (Aztec Pie) > Judy Howle > howle@ebicom.net And is it settled about chile vs. pepper? Hasta la lista, Jesse G.
