Caps,

One of Linda's co-workers just got back from an annual trip to NM, bringing 
a few pounds of frozen green chiles for us.  They seem to have been slit and 
roasted, but not peeled or seeded.  I'm hoping that they can easily be 
peeled after they've thawed.

So, looks like it's time for me to practice up on green sauces - darn, and 
our tomatillos are not ready yet.  Our local Casa Fiesta makes a nice verde 
sauce I can try to imitate, and by now I can glean enough immature green wax 
and jalapeno pods to make a half-decent hot green sauce.

But, I'm wondering, what else?  Maybe chop them coarsely and mix into 
softened cream cheese to make a spread?  Use them to extend the body of a 
guac or artichoke dip?  Pickle them for a few hours and lay them in 
sandwiches?  Bake them into a bread dough?

- A
