too bad it wasn't the UPS LADY.
I'm over at DeVille's house dropping off the fatalii's and guess what I got next to the keyboard??? Hint- it's muddled...
Which kind? I've made mole poblano, mole coloradito, and pipián. Thinking about doing one of these if time allows. It's a LOT of work and doesn't look that impressive on a plate though.
I wasn't eating it at 4 am. It is from last night, that is just what time I woke up. I have a problem sleeping in even on weekends because I get up so early for work every day. The boss of the house kept telling me I was spending too much time on the computer last night so I didn't get a chance to finish process until this morning.
The food was good. I am not much of a photographer but I have been excited to get into another one since the bowl competition. It just hasn't worked out for one reason or another until this one.
I can't wait to see what other people come up with. I especially can't wait to see what the baby turns into LunchBox.

OK, here goes. Disclaimer: I've used this before in the popper throwdown, but this time I tweaked it a bit. I hope that's ok. Also, the first attempt didn't come out too good. The filling was too runny to make for good poppers. So I ran to the store and got more jalapenos and I re-did the filling with my leftovers. MUCH better the second time around.
Impy's Chicken Enchilada Poppers
Ingredients:
Chicken breast
Jalapenos
Red enchilada sauce
Drunken Goat cheese
Whipped cream cheese
Bhut Jolokia
Habanero powder
Chicken simmering in the enchilada sauce with bhut pieces
Drunken goat and chicken pieces. When I was shredding everything, I DID NOT intentionally make the ingredients into a heart! That's just how it formed as I was pushing them aside!
Drunken goat, chicken, cream cheese, splash of enchilada sauce, and habanero powder went into the filling.
Plated pic!
Now, I was not aware that we also had to do a salsa. LUCKILY I just happened to have some salsa on hand that I "made." Really, it's just a mix of 3 different salsas and bhut pieces. As a snack, I've been known to eat JUST salsa by the spoonfull. Ever since I got those bhuts this has been an entirely different experience!!!

Thanks!! Drunken goat is one of my favorite cheeses. You can learn about it here: http://cheese.about.com/od/internationalcheese/p/drunken_goat.htm
So I take it not all teaser pics have to have the pol 80 cents in them...I see it in some above but not all....
so as long as you can make out a chain in the pics and some have the pol its all right...or does every teaser pic have to have the pol....
my first time in this...just asking....not trying to be a nit picker...just want to make sure I get it....

To all my THP amigos... Peace, Love and FISH TACOS!
prep pics-
I used regular ol' black beans out of a can (BORING!), so they went on the stove with onion, garlic, red jalapeno, Southwest Spice mix and extra cumin, salt. Simmered and smashed them all up to make a nice refried bean thing.
Ingredients for the SALSA~
yellow heirloom tomato, local peach, lime juice, purple onion, fatali, orange habanero and red jalapeno chiles, cilantro, garlic, and a twist of salt.
Fresh Ling Cod, panko crumbs, SW Spice mix, dried red pepper blend (red habs, bhuts, cayennes and other chiles from last years grow), S&P.
the Dutchie on the Barbie~~~
YUM!

Ingredients for the SALSA-
local yellow heirloom tomato, local peach, fresh lime juice, purple onion, home grown fatali and red jalapeno, orange habanero, local cilantro, local garlic, and a twist of salt.
Just slap-chopped and diced it all up, give it a little stir...done.
Fresh Ling Cod, panko crumbs, SW Spice mix, dried red pepper blend (red habs, bhuts, cayennes and other chiles from last years grow), S&P. Dip the cod pieces in a milk and egg wash and then coat the pieces in the spiced up Panko crumbs. Give it a nice fry in hot oil and let 'em drain for a few minutes on paper towels.
Layer the black beans, fish, and salsa onto the tortilla, drizzle with a little Crema Mexicana, and ENJOY!
ps- SALSA RULES!
