Doug, I use Anaheims, as they are(a) readily available (b) relatively
cheap (c) are terrific, if you sprinkle the inside of them with either
Calvin's or Jim Campbell's chile powder..Jims's gives you a smokey
flavour, and Calvin's is just a good chile flavour, which when added to
the heat in the Anaheim, is really tremendous...also the Anaheim, when
fire roasted and skinned, is the best, IMHO for stuffing with cheese. I
use a combo of sharp cheddar, and Monterey jack, and sprinkle it with
Calvin's also! Do we like Calvin's? You bet! cheers, Doug in BC a leetle
bit to yer north....and never mind telling me to close the north gate, I
got a coupla guys telling me that already!
