I've mentioned before that I try to vary my diet, to avoid getting jaded by one or another favorite dish.

A couple of weeks ago, my dinner-of-the-week was chipotle chicken stew. It was very tasty; for that reason, I would normally avoid remaking it for a few months. However, the recipe called for one - count it, one - chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. Such peppers, so be-sauced, come in cans, each containing about fifteen peppers.

I have very few recipes which call for chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

I made another batch of the stew this week. It's still good. I don't know how long the rest of the peppers will last....

Tomorrow is the department Cinco de Mayo potluck. Once again, I signed up to bring cornbread, which I will make tomorrow morning.

There. Is. Milk. (And everything else needful.)

(Semagic disapproves of the words "chipotle", "adobo", and "cinco". "Mayo", however, is apparently A-OK.)

I'd expect the chipotle in adobo to be freezable - take one pepper & however much sauce and put it in a small plastic bag. Or maybe freeze them in ice cube trays, and then transfer to a bigger plastic bag after they're frozen?

The ice cube tray idea sounds good. (I'm not using them for anything else....) Thanks!
