Thank you, one and all, for the many chile roasting and peeling
techniques. I did it!!

Feeling confident, I took a trip to the city market and brought home a
large bag of home grown anaheims (since there are none growing in my
garden...I'll fix that next year). Then I brought up a dusty
indoor/outdoor electric BBQ from the basement and spent the afternoon
roasting chiles in the air conditioning. It really  IS easy. Patience
should have been number one in the chile roasting lessons. I had been
roasting them too quickly and trying to peel them immediately
afterwards.

Also, after seeing the "Boz" signature on one response, I realized that
it is his recipe for green chile that I have been using since he posted
the recipe ages ago and I want to say thanks! I love that stuff and now
I can use my own roasted chiles instead of buying those little cans.
Life is good.

Thanks, guys and gals,
