In the past I have given friends and family little movie night popcorn kits. I use small jars, like jelly jars, that seal well and fill it with chile oil. Then I include enough popcorn for about 3-4 batches and a little packet of adobo powder. I make the chile oil, somebody some wheres grows the corn and Goya makes the adobo powder. Not very expensive and an excellent way to spread the gospel of El Grande. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kelly Jackson [SMTP:csrne@conknet.com] > Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 1998 7:00 PM > To: chile-heads@globalgarden.com > Subject: [CH] Homemade Chile gifts > > Hi there... > > I think this is a great idea!
