I saw whole dried chipotles in a bin once at a Mexican store I rarely
visit. I keep telling myself I'll get back there and buy a few to
rehydrate and puree. Maybe I'd like them better. The problem is it's
a two person affair, one to hop out & shop and the other to drive &
circle the block - because there's no parking lot and it's just dumb
luck if there's an empty metered street parking slot.

There are some things that I reserve for restaurants... including all
fried food. I'll do the simple stuff at home, they can fry, do the
complicated and the time consuming. I enjoy eating out, but I'm not
happy when I am served something I can make equally as well or better.
Why pay for that?
