<P>Thanks to Paul K. and others who volunteered sites to check for chile/mu=
stard recipes. Pepperfool.com had one for Jalapeno Mustard that will fit th=
e bill quite nicely with a bit of personalizing/substitution on my part.</P=
><P>As someone who has lurked on this list since the days of the late, lame=
nted Col. Philpott and who has probably posted only two or three times in t=
hese years, it is nice to come out of the shadows once in a while and dance=
 in front of the chile god with Dewi, Risa, Rael, Luke and the rest of the =
far-flung posse that I will probably only get to know vicariously through t=
his list (OK, I did connect with Mark S and Alexandra at the Brooklyn Botan=
ical Gardens Chile Festival a few years ago, but the exception just goes to=
 prove the rule, or somthing like that)</P><P>On to another thread - Maybe =
it has been done before, my capsaicin-clouded brain is losing its retentive=
ness, but could I coax some hot tips on chile-related cuisine here in the (=
currently somewhat bruised) Big Apple. I spend a lot of time seeking out pl=
aces that are willing to serve me dishes the way I (and I assume many of th=
e rest of you) like it and usually offer to sign a waiver if they will just=
 make it like they would back home in Hanoi or Juarez or Addis Ababa, but m=
y list of truly obliging chefs is pretty small considering the 30-plus year=
s that I have been on this quest.</P><P>How about it? I'll even travel to W=
estchester or (gasp) northern N.J. (forget about Long Island; I grew up the=
re. Nothing could convince me that there is any hope for anything remotely =
tinged with chile there)</P><P>Peter H.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P></P=
