  A couple of weeks back I saw that there several people asking about making
chile oil.  I am sorry that I have not gotten back sooner, but I have very
busy and have had to ignore my daily readings for awhile.  The recipe is so
simple that I really call it a technique.  I soak chiles in canola oil, in a
crockpot, for about 3 days.  Strain through cheese cloth and bottle.  I use
it for everyday cooking and for making popcorn.  I dust the popcorn with
Goya's Adobo powder.  It is a very finely ground mix of garlic, salt, cumin,
chile, etc. though the garlic and salt are by far the most prevalent and
stand out over any other spices.  Anyway, I am a little famous at work for
bringing in Hotcorn occasionally.  I have people come from buildings all
over the campus to get some.

  One of my favorite uses for chile oil is in pasta with toasted sunflower
seeds tossed in a light sauce of butter, chile oil, garlic and Mexican
oregano.  My wife loves this stuff and asks me to make it as a snack some
nights.

So, anyway.  Nice talking to y'all.  Keep up the good chile work.  B-)

Hey Rael.
