[CH] Chile Sauce and growing Poblano questions

Hi All,

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help me with.

Mark's site has a link to a Red Chile Sauce that suggests boiling dried red chiles then running them thru a blender.  The few times I have done this, I have held them down with a spatula and pulled the meat off with another spatula.  I roast my fresh chiles to get the "coat" off and am bothered by the idea of eating the coat with the chile sauce.  Has anyone experience with this; how much difference does it make with the dried chiles??

My Poblanos went in about 5" tall and are now about 8" tall.  They are tiny and cute and have BB sized buds on them.  Would it make any difference to clip off the buds now??

  cheers,

    Gard hopin' we have a summer this year in the south S.F. Bay Area.
