Mark, here is the recipe you wanted.  I haven't been keeping with the digest
for the past 2 weeks or so (midterms),
so I apologise if this is a redundant post.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                     jicama -- about 1 lb
  1              large  vidalia onion
  2              small  carrots -- optional
  3             cloves  garlic
     1/4           cup  white vinegar
  2                     fresh jalapenos
  5                     dried anchos
  2                     dried habaneros
                        cilantro
  1             dashes  salt

Here is a salsa that I experimented with last weekend. Like most of you
experimenters, I don't have exact measurements, so these are approximations.
Vidalias don't need to be used, as long as the onion is a white, sweet one.
'Texas Sweets' are the same thing as Vidalias [don't tell the Vidalia SS],
just grown in Texas) Peel the jicama, onion, and carrot, dice [cha, cha,
cha]. Throw everything in the blender and grind to your liking. You may need
to add just a bit more vinegar (or for an extra kick a shot or two of
tequila) if the mixture is too dry. Let stand or refrigerate for at least 2
hours to let everything meld. Use creatively. Of course, use the chiles of
your preference, and in your preferred quantites. The idea is to blend a
nice deep burn with a sweet aftertaste (from the sweet onion and jicama).
Eat in good health!
