I just love that place, too! Tom Greaves is the one who told me about it (Thanks, Tom!). Get together woulda been fun, we'll figger it out next time you come here.

At least health dept. report gets air time here which I hope helps make the perps clean up their acts. Marv's a character, eh? and he wrote: >Did get some Chiletepins from a nice American Indian lady called >ISABEL at Lupes Plant place up the road from the Fiesta Mart. I'll have to check this place out, haven't been there before. Did you take all the foods from Fiesta Mart back to Oz with you or consume them here? Got recipes for what you did with them to share?

Maybe start with a video, each of you doin a segment, to send in to FoodTV? You *could* seriously do something like that ...or I can visualize some fun footage that maybe only us CHs would buy! Nearly nekkid chef with chile loin cloth (and a towel) with multiple nubile sous chefs? Doug "stirrin the pot" cookin curried-cilantro-tofu-hab soup in a big witches' cauldron, "Double double toil and trouble"....? ChefChile makin Rainforest Brazil Nut Hab Brittle and Sashimi Stuffed Rocotos? Who has a camera? Leaving the station for Lurkville again now. Deb in Houston
