I am now the proud owner of more jalapeño slices than can be consumed in one lifetime. Thank you, Costco.
I was lured into buying the 1 gallon jar of jalapeño slices by the incredibly low price of $4. Truthfully, they were for a youth activity which involved nachos and dodge ball. [Note: Separating the two activities in either time or space greatly decreases clean up time.] Somehow, I thought thirteen year old girls would eat at least 12-16 oz. of jalapeños each. I was sorely mistaken.
In fact, the jalapeños seemed to be blessed in much the same manner as the loaves and fishes of New Testament fame. We had dished out some of the jalapeños into a bowl for easier serving. At the end of the night I went to return the remaining few jalapeños back to the vat from whence they came and, Glory glory!, they wouldn't all fit! I put the lid on and some of the juices leaked out because the barrel was too full. I was sure I had witnessed the multiplication of the jalapeños. So I started calling them Holypeños.
But it may have turned out to be more of a curse. Perhaps the Great Señor Carlos in the sky sensed Alice's ingratitude at having to take home a full hog's head of pickled peppers. Whatever the cause, peppery vinegar leaked out on the ride home and the noisome juice must have seeped into the trunk carpet. Alice now fights nausea every time the trunk is opened.
Meanwhile, I have to find something to do with the blessed Holypeños before they contaminate our fridge. I'm expecting the 'Either the Holypeños go, or I go!' speech from my usually passive wife sometime in the near future. But I have a hard time throwing things away. Especially divine mexican condiments.
So I think I may have found a solution: Deep Fried Holypeño Slices. I can't wait to try these things out. I'm gonna glut myself on pickled peppers made gloriously golden through the magic of deep frying. Oh, FryDaddy! Is there anything you cannot fix? These bite-size beauts are very versatile. Dip them in processed cheese and surgically insert them directly into your arteries. Or sprinkle them on your yogurt and eat them for breakfast. Pure delish.
If you don't hear from me for a while, I'm either still gorging myself on delectably fiery deep fried Holypeños, or I'm in the hospital recovering from a colon transplant. Either way, it's going to be a great weekend.

5 Helens agree.
we discovered the source of the jalepeno smell in the trunk. it turns out the juices did not spill onto the trunk carpet after all. corbin seems to have a gift at attracting jalepeno scented objects. his next attraction was his wet suit. it smells EXACTLY like jalepenos. i don't know how we got so lucky. the wet suit is now on our balcony "airing" out. i did have to give corbin an ultimatum; he had better wash his hands after touching the wet suit or else he could sleep with the wet suit on the balcony. luckily i tricked him into washing the dishes and so his hands are more than clean. our marriage is preserved and corbin is allowed in bed tonight.
Corbin, did you wet your wetsuit? Have you been peeing in your wet suit to keep you warm when you surf? Next you will be growing dreadlocks, but from the looks of it, they will have to be in your arm pits.
i hope those jolly penos make all you culinary dreams come true. Let me know what ideas you come up with....not that I will ever follow suit.
