Hello All, I've been inundated with email concerning the status of Pepperfool.com. The site was deleted from the hosts computers on Wednesday morning. I have switched companies and the site should be back up by Monday. There is a "mirror" at http://www.geocities.com/pepperfool . The So. Cal hotluck at Curt & Susie Snyder's was a blast. The Chipotle Ale went very well with the Thai Soup, Dr. Bob's Habanero Pasta, Chile Verde, Green Chile - Cheese Tamales, Black Bean Tamales, Jim's Bread, and Marilyn's now famous Lemon Bars. Food was great, company was better. And yes, I too can now say I know who Rich McCormack is. (But will I recognize him without a blue tongue?) Here is the recipe for the dish I brought. I made way too much and have been eating it all week. A few of my non chile loving friends loved it. - on the way in that is. :-) * Exported from MasterCook * Nuclear Pesto Pasta with Roasted Vegetables-Sun Dried tomatoes Recipe By : Robert Lusk Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Pasta Hot Luck Pepperfool Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 Pound Bow Tie, Penne, Campanile Pasta 1 Bunch Asparagus 2 Cloves Garlic -- chopped 6 Cloves Roasted garlic -- minced 2 Bell Pepper -Red or Yellow -- Roasted and chopped 1/2 Cup Sun-dried tomato 2 Tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil 2 Tablespoons Pesto sauce * 1 teaspoon Jims Habanero Powder 2 Habanero Chiles - minced Salt & Pepper 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar Pesto: 2 Cups basil 1/3 Cup Parmesan cheese 1/3 Cup Olive Oil 1/4 Cup Toasted Pine Nuts 1 Tsp salt 2 Fresh Habaneros Preheat oven to 400 F. Snap bottoms of asparagus off and clean with a vegie peeler. Put asparagus in a dish just large enough, with chopped garlic, 1 Tbs olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes. Chop into 2" pieces. If you don't have a jar of roasted peppers roast them along with the asparagus. Rehydrate the sundried tomatoes in a small amount of hot water. Let sit for 25 minutes (while asparagus is cooking). Cook pasta and dump the vegies, olive oil, pesto, chiles and parsley and mix together. This is good hot or cold.
