Mary's working late so I made a sandwich.  Turned out ok. Think I'd add some
Calvin's next time.  The last pasillas I got were much hotter.  This is
nominally low-fat, since avocados don't count.  Got the calamari and bread
from Trader Joes--the garlic/cheddar is only 1.5 gms per big slice.  I used
fairly thin.  If TJ's bread wasn't available think I'd throw a few cloves of
garlic in the broiler with the chile.  The real trick for tender calamari is
to cook it fast-absolutely no more than 3 min total.

  1           teaspoon  Pecorino Romano cheese -- grated
  3             sprays  Tastes So Good Itsa Gotta be Butter Spray -- to

Roast the chile, peel, stem and seed.  Add some wine to a small non-stick
pan and add chile, lightly salt and fresh ground pepper.  Cover and simmer
briefly to add chile flavor to wine.
Toast the bread lightly while cooking the chile.  Spray lightly with spray
stuff, removed chile and lay open on bread.  Turn the fire up, reduce wine
and add the calamari.  Cook  1 to 1 1/2 min on each side.  While cooking
add the sliced avocado the other piece of toast.  Salt and pepper if
desired.  Sprinkle cheese over the chile.  Add the calamari and assemble.
Serve with a nice white table wine.  Like a Mezzo Corona Pinot Grigio.
