Feremented in brine: 2 toasted anchos 2 toasted guajillos 3 cloves of garlic Peppers are split, de-seeded and toasted in a cast iron skillet. Garlic is toasted with the skins on and de-skinned before fermenting. All these are chopped rough and placed in the vessel with 10-12 fresh red chilis. Use instead of tomato paste or ketchup for BBQ sauce.

It happens with kids. Good info so I don't forget... Cetaphil treatment to get rid of live lice Put Cetaphil in dry hair Blow dry Wait 8 hours and wash out Then with wet hair and conditioner, use the Terminator comb on every inch of hair. This will get rid of any nits. Repeat daily until no more nits are found.
