Ok, I know this is not chile-related, but a Chile-Head posted this quote
and it's been driving me crazy!
Where did it come from - Jim Morrison? Some other musician???
"Run from light to shadow, Sun gives me no rest, Promise offered in the
east, Broken in the west."
Thanks,

Have to comment on this... :) I make this all the time...
with
just olive oil, garlic, and chiles.
I recommend NOT heating the garlic until it browns... rather,
heat
the oil, and put it on MINIMUM heat, so that you can't even see
the
carlic bubbling. Just leave the garlic and the chiles in the
warm oil
to "sweat" for maybe 15 minutes, and you will get a very fresh
taste,
not as bitter as it gets when you brown it. I just leave
everything
in there, to get to chew on the chile peels.
Agree that it is an excellent recipe, especially for a hungry
and
lazy bachelor. ;)
And.... don't forget the parmegiano cheese. I don't salt until
serving... some salt grains on top of the plate gives the thing
a
nice, rough taste.
