Given the activity, a request for something new ariseing from something old.
A "few years back" I reported an incident in which my then teenage
daughter opened the refrigerated door too quickly causing and a bottle
of Briana's Chipotle Chile Cheese Dressing/Sauce ( in which I still have
no financial interest) to tumble out on the floor and smash to messy
smithereens. She was concerned ( I pretended to be as she was rather
cute about it) and I told her we would seek input on the appropriate
"punishment" from the list. Some responded in the tongue in cheek spirit
of the post, a few others, touchingly (in a humorless way) thought I was
serious and scolded me for valuing the sauce over the daughter. No one
from child and family services arrived. A few weeks later she drove way
off on the shoulder of the freeway to avoid a spilled load of green
peppers in again tongue in cheek concern for offending El Grande and the
list were she to run over one of the loose ones on the road.
Now the Request for Help from the list. Same daughter (now in grad
school and sliding between mild and hot in her persuasion) is getting
married in two weeks. I have succeeded in sliding some Poinsettia and
Fiesta ornamentals I grew into the rehearsal dinner flowers ( she drew
the line at the wedding bouquet) and lined the area with Purple Pepper
ornamentals in keeping with the color scheme. So far so good.
The problem of an appropriate chilehead father of the bride toast
remains. That is where the creative assistance of the list comes in. I
need a Chilehead toast to bride and groom better than than the one I
have (which will not be hard). Any thoughts appreciated.

PS for those into real low rent receipes, my son recommends a liberal
dusting of smoked serano powder on Cheez-its, apparently a big hit
around the fraternity house.
