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.
