Here are the two recipes from the hot luck today. It was a small group but the die-hards were in heaven. I made the Hab Hummus (a Buffalo Sue recipe I adapted) and it was the big hit. It could've been a bit hotter but it was still excellent. The chipotle devilled eggs were terrific too - brought by Kurt. A small group but definitely a good one. Weather was perfect too - hot but not too hot, not as hot as the chiles!
