Cooking Notes
A can of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce contains several whole chili peppers. Start by using half of one pepper (the source of most of the spicy heat), plus a little of the sauce. Add more to taste.
Fiery Ketchup
1/2 cup ketchup
Half of 1 canned chipotle chili pepper in adobo sauce, plus 1 teaspoon of the adobo sauce, or more to taste*
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Place the ketchup in a small mixing bowl. Finely mince the chili pepper half until it almost forms a paste, and add it to the bowl.
Add the adobo sauce and garlic powder. Stir well. Serve at once, or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve, up to 4 days.

The remaining chili peppers and adobo sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Since the peppers are so spicy, we like to mince all of the peppers before freezing, stir them back into the adobo sauce, then freeze by the tablespoon in an ice cube tray. Then you can thaw and use a little at a time.

What you're saying..
I started reading Desperation Dinners along about the time I became a "stay-at-home" mom (what an oxymoron!) and needed both intellectual stimulation and something different - ANYTHING different - for dinner.
In those early days, I cooked strictly by the rule book, no deviations. But over the years, you two have given me the confidence to try rotini instead of penne, to substitute, experiment, become confident. Thank you!!
Honestly - - all three of my DD books are stained, tattered, splattered, and loved. I've given DD as gifts to new moms, to new wives, and to young friends just out of college. Can't think of a more practical, useful present.
I appreciate all the recipes, but really like the bulk-cooking ideas.
Thanks for everything!!
