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.
