There have been a couple of posting on the delightful combination of chipotles and cream cheese as a spread or "schmeer" for bread, bagels, etc. I want to offer an even simpler alternative....your favorite salsa and neufchatel cheese as a sandwich on a robust homemade bread. An excellent snack! After a (FDA nutritionist) friend recommended this to me I had a little trouble finding the neufchatel but finally found it at our new Trader Joe's. The brand they sell at least seems to be even softer than cream cheese and supposedly contains a third less fat. Dale H. Bethesda, MD dhitchco@zzapp.org P.S. There is life at Chile Pepper magazine! After missing several months I finally received an issue for Feb. '99.
