[CH] A bit of serendipity

A co-worker, twenty-something, is an aspiring chef who has received rave 
reviews on the Friday munchies he brings.  He, being a bit of an aspiring 
CH, asked me where he might find chipotle powder for a dry rub he was 
working on.  I volunteered to grind him a couple tablespoons from my 
private reserve of chipotles.  After grinding, I put the spice in a ziplock 
bag and put it in my lunchbox so I wouldn't forget it.  The next morning I 
put a couple of freshly washed Granny Smith apples in my lunchbox next to 
the ziplock of chipotle powder.  The bag must have had a small leak because 
the first apple I grabbed had a light dusting of chipotle powder.  Wow, 
what a combination!  The sweet tartness of the Granny Smith and the smoky 
heat of the chipotle is enough to make a body thank God for tastebuds.

Enjoy!
