yesterday I spontaneously bought gigantic chiles at the supermarket (which make nice mittens but...)I foolishly thought it would be fun to try and make homemade chile rellenos, one of Chris and my favorite mexican foods. first of all, i think i bought the wrong kind of chile. second of all, let's leave the mexican cooking to the restaurants. oh my gosh, the very first step of grilling, cooling, and then peeling the skin off the peppers took me forever! and i didn't even get all the skin, so we'll see how they taste in about an hour.
meanwhile Derby got into a box of granola bars a few days ago while we were at work. he hasn't eaten people food in a year or so, he was overdue for a binge.I love his nonchalant, unguilty expression in this photo. story of his life.

The secret to getting all the skin of the peppers is to char all the skin. Put it on the burner of a gas stove or on your grill and rotate it after the skin has all gone black and then rotate and repeat till the whole thing is black. All the black/charred skin will just wipe off with a paper towel or wash off under your sink tap. It looks like you got the right kind of chillies (those look like poblanos), how did it taste?
