[CH] simple spread

Last night I still had some heat left in the charcoal after I grilled 
burgers.  So I made a little skewer of sweet and hot banana peppers (of 
course, I couldn't tell which was which by looking) and roasted them over 
the coals.

This morning I skinned and seeded them, and cut them into little pieces 
about the size of a pimento in a green olive.  I added a few good shakes of 
garlic salt, and a pinch of herbes de provence.  I also put in a very small 
amount of smoked hab powder.  I stirred this into a small tub of softened 
cream cheese.

The result?  Well, if you're going to walk around the office with bad 
breath, you should at least enjoy getting it.  The heat is nice, a little 
more than moderate.  The garlic flavor is there, but this would definitely 
be better if I had roasted a few cloves along with the peppers.  I love the 
way the mixed herb flavor comes in from the side, it takes a moment to 
appreciate it.

Tony Flynn, if you read this, drop me a line while you are still in Ohio.  
I'm only about 50 miles away from you.  If you're allowed to drink beer, 
I'll fill some growlers at Miami Trail in Xenia and bring them by.
