We had dinner in our local mexican dive on Monday (I had scallops
inferno, wow!) and spotted some stuff I never saw in there grocery
store. One was El Yucateo Chipotle Sauce for $1.50. I hadn't heard
of it (although have some of their other sauces). Has anyone tried
it? I didn't buy anything that night but may head back. They also
had a BBQ sauce size bottle of a Chipotle sauce for $2.50 but I
can't remember the name.
Haven't heard about the hot and spicy things people got for
Christmas. I seemed to do pretty well. My wife gave me a beautiful
bottle of Excalabur Sauce, my son gave me a chipotle dip, spicy
jerky and "The Best Ever Hot and Spicy Cookbook", my sister gave
me a gift basket filled with mostly Southwest foods (although it
contained two bags of wasabi snack peas) and my mother in law
got me a gift basket that had some Hot-house Catsup and a bottle
of Brutal Bajan hot sauce. Seems like I did pretty well in that
department. Hope everyone else had a great Christmas.
My son also volunteered to take some of the seeds I got from
Calvin back to Texas (Houston) with him and plant some Chiltepins
in his yard. He will then harvest the pods and send them to me.
What a great kid!
One last thing, Our church youth group is again having their Chili
Cook-Off at the end of January. As I placed 2nd last year, I am
gunning for First place. Some church members were at the house
on Sunday for an open house and I served a turkey version of my
second place chili. They raved over it and thought it might be this
year's entry (one of the guests is an organizer of the event, another
was a competitor from last year). It is not my entry for this year
and I plan to wow them this time. I'll post results.
