MAMA

I don’t eat food I can’t identify.  I love it when readers send me foods, but one of you clearly has it out for me.   A couple of weeks ago, someone sent a handful of chiltepin peppers–extremely hot, measuring between 50,000-100,000 Scoville units (jalepenos are 3,500–8,000).  It took several days to research it.  Rest assured, I have dried them for use in chili or Thai food sometime soon.  I’ll keep you updated.  This next Call hails from Texas where the chiltepin is the State native pepper.  Take a look…

I’m fascinated by the prospect of using veggie oil as an alternative fuel for powering cars & heating homes.  I’m not ready to jump to the change; however, I do have some fundamental questions.  Are fast food joints going to start get paid for their waste oil? Will traffic jams smell like french fries? What about the pesticides used on the crops from which the oil was processed?  The name of this next Call probably doesn’t indicate the heating source, but we can always hope, right?  Always investigate…

I’m craving purple potatoes.  Potatoes have become scarce in my house lately.  Paranoid about my family’s long history of diabetes, we are trying to limit our starch intake to see if my current symptoms can be controlled through diet.  Because we already cut out gluten, I don’t really miss bread.  We’ve never consumed a lot of rice & prefer spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles to pasta.  But oh how I miss the potatoes– the beautiful, majestic purple ones particularly.  I’m sneaking them in as the crust for quiche & pot pies, but the chips & fries & mash are all gone.  I have to reserve all things majestic for this next call.  Love this one…
