Petty Irritant #2,473

Here’s a howto on using cardboard to help in hammering a nail “safely”. It’s specifically designed for lazy dumbasses who want to “build something” without bothering to acquire the skills to do so. Gaining skills in using tools takes effort and time, things many folks in our instant gratification society just can’t bring themselves to spend.

Medium Hotitudinousness Almost, Sorta Recipe

I really, really like chiles rellenos, but I don’t much like making them, what with the pre-roasting and peeling of the peppers, the batter and frying and all that. What I really like is the roasted peppers with cheese part. So,

  • Poblano peppers, slit and sorta, mostly de-seeded. (I like the seeds, but poblanos are just barely “hot” enough to do without them, and I save ’em to plant. :-))
  • Fill ’em with shredded cheese. I like a monterey jack and cheddar mix.
  • Bake on a greased pan in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes.

That’s it. I don’t find the skins to be an issue for me, and I don’t really miss the batter at all.

One can (and many do) use green anaheim peppers, but I find then to be a bit too mild for my taste.

These can be a part of a Mex-Tex meal or, as I have been eating them, the main dish with little else. Yum stuff.
