>>Linda as she scrapeth her knuckles yet again.... > >Hey Linda - welcome to the gutter with the rest of us...;>) > .......Thanks, I have been in and out of the gutter since joining the list a number of years ago....I'd rather be there with you folks and rolling around on a Twister[TM] mat than hanging out with PC...just taint no fun! Just hope the scrapes don't get chile oil on them when I chop me chiles! BTW, trying to keep on topic, I made the poppers that were posted a little while ago (sorry, don't remember who posted it) but required blanching the gutted pepper for a few minutes to soften a bit, cool in cold water, then stuff and roll in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs and bake. They were great! I did just about make my F-I-L has respitory failure as those Jalapenos cooked in the water.....that, and I threw the seeds and membranes into to woodstove.....ooops! I coughed a bit too....he suggested nuking them and I told him because it would cause chile fumes...guess it happened either way! Linda
