Morning all,
	Just wanted to say that I made a version of besotes calientes (Rosana
mentioned having them at a restaurant) for a party last night and they were
a HUGE hit!  I simply blanched peppers (had jalapeno and hungarian wax
handy), seeded them, stuffed them with a mixture of artificial crab,
vidalia onion, and cream cheese, wrapped a piece of bacon around the
pepper, secured it with a tooth pick, and threw the little bugger in the
hot oil.  Quite tasty I must say.  A batch of these and a batch of regular
beer-batter bullets went over very well.  The bacon is actually alot easier
than gettin all sloppy with the batter (not so much fun, but neater), but
watch the oil when you put them in cus the water in the bacon makes the oil
a bit spastic.  

that's it for now,
Suz
