Just wanted to let you know I got rave reviews when I brought this to work Sat. night. I fixed a double batch and just had about 1 cup left (if that much) for my husband to try. We served it in edible bowls, sub- stituted yellow rice for reg. rice, and used canned chilies instead of jalepenos (wish we hadn't have done that!), and everyone really enjoyed it so much. Keep up the great work! And thanks for all the other won- derful recipes!
