Hey, thanks for the tip. I probably would have just tried to be really careful, and would have failed to keep it clean anyway. I mentioned that I had a use for her new skillet, and she already tried to tell me there is no frying allowed in the kitchen. Maybe the newspapers will calm her enough to get a batch done. ;-))) Sandy, I got the cream cheese, sour cream, onion, and more chipotles yesterday (bought the La Preferida brand this time, just to compare). Hopefully some dip will be in the works this afternoon. -- Erich C-H # 2099 & First Lieutenant of the Moderate Corps
