[CH] "where there's smoke, there's work"

Peeps,

The line is from Firesign Theatre, but it applied to the day I had 
yesterday.

My parents are out of town until the end of the month, so I've undertaken 
the task of painting their kitchen.  Since I had the place to myself for a 
few hours yesterday, I brought over a mix of peppers and smoked them over 
hickory and apple in their Weber.

I didn't smoke them dry this time; I want to experiment with processing them 
as chipotles in sauce - sort of a paste.  I may use some of them in a final 
batch of salsa, possibly with some smoked onion and garlic.

I loved the way they made the kitchen smell of roasted peppers when I 
brought them in.  In fact, my shirt smelled like them, and so did my hair 
... If I can capture that aroma and get it back from a jar this winter, I'll 
be happy.

Fuming, but happy,

- A
