Hi everyone!
I know its been ages. It feels like ages. But I do have news for you! Not a lot of content to this post, but some news. I know I mentioned my visit to the Chicago Food Film Festival in my last entry. What I didn't tell you is what has occurred since then:
I've started up a facebook page as a startup spicy foods business called Mar De Cortés Chili Co. You can find it at https://www.facebook.com/mdcChili and will learn a lot of nifty things about my projects.
This is a startup site. I have no idea how long it will take me to actually get the small business off the ground, with all the things that are involved with building a food business, like food handling permits, finding a commercial kitchen to use for health code reasons, getting my sanitation certificates again, and finding a means to jar/bottle things and sell them.
I plan to start out at Farmer's Markets with some basic things: Chili, Salsa, and Hot Sauce. Yes, that's right, I've started to make hot sauces! Go figure! Of course my first venture into hot sauce was a semi-sweet ghost pepper sauce, which you'll read about and see more of on the actual site.
Really, with this entry, I am mainly announcing this to you all so that you can go visit and learn more, and please share share SHARE! :) I'm a little less sporadic posting there than I am here, but as this site is more about general cooking than specialized cooking, I don't want to flood this blog with things more appropriate on MDC.
Please visit and like and share! For those of you who use google+, the link is:

All my love,
