Ah, the unfairness of the world. the recipe is rich with lobsters, clams, mussels and all manner of things which are VERY HARD to find down here in the South, but flourish in those northern climes. On the one hand, we do have that longer growing season, and chiles are easier to find, but omigod that recipe brought back memories. I could smell it cooking in my mind, feel the crusty bread soaking up the flavors, taste the wine..... thank you michelle, even if there wasn't a chile in sight. doug
