This is the essence of why mystery box sales are untenable. In order for the seller to make the concept workable he'll have to create enough winner boxes to appease the buyers but will have to balance that value with loser boxes. It is those who get screwed in the deal that are going to come into this thread and complain, and the administrators of this site should spare themselves the headache by disallowing them completely. A successful sales thread is when the seller and all buyers are satisfied, not just those that "won". eBay had so many problems with them that they forbid them way back in June of 2008 . Thanks for looking that up Mystery Auctions prohibited Due to the high rate of claims and bad buying experiences related to these listings, starting early June, the Chance Policy will now also include Mystery Auctions as a prohibited item. You're welcome. And if you click on the the Chance Listings Policy , they state: I'm not a lawyer, but it would seem that CGC has a fair amount of litigation exposure by allowing these types of sales to exist here.

Every time Cat-Man is mentioned, someone makes a litter box or hairball joke. Must refrain...

New round in 15 minutes.

New round coming in an hour or two. I'll give a 15 minute heads up.

I don't post anything less than 30 seconds anymore. Otherwise, my post count would be through the roof.

Yeah...I was at Safeway last night and just picked up what was on sale. Smart & Final has a bag that's about the size of a duffle bag for around $5-6. But the best are home made, or even just frying up some corn tortillas - same with taco shells. I was surprised Safeway had all those fresh peppers, and they are super inexpensive, even less expensive by weight than the canned. Here's the cost of what's pictured: Onion $1.85 (friggin' crazy expensive) Serrano Peppers $0.78 Tomatillos $1.22 Organic Limes $1.00

Thanks for the warning. It's dead all over the boards today. I think everyone went to the beach.

I love this. [+]

I have many salsa questions.

Thank you Jimmers! I'm going to try the spicier version first if I can find stewed jalapenos. I love that stuff. more than a pleasure.i forgot to mention,if making the chipotle sauce,add a half to full cup of warm chicken broth to thin it out and add some nice flavour. Is this like the stewed jalapeño peppers with carrots you mentioned? I think stores in my area handle this, but it says "pickled" so I was confused. That will work just fine! I was thinking...that arseburning hot yellow salsa?Likely made with scotch bonnets/habeneros. If you ever see a yellowish hot sauce described as Barbados style,grab it...soooo good. Cool. I was worried it would impart an undesirable pickling taste. I can't seem to find any that are just stewed like whole/sliced/diced tomatoes. My understanding is that anything in a can has been stewed because of the heat from the canning process (like black beans).

Awesome. And I think you're right about the hotter green salsa being a little darker.

Do you ever make salsa or hot sauce from scratch using fresh or canned peppers? I'm looking for some good recipes. Slsa yes...hot sauce I did once...but the reeks in the house,well pungent gas(not from my bottom) from cooking it up made the wife put an end to that. Are you looking for a fresh chopped salsa,like pico de gallo ,or a cooked,like comes in a jar style Cooked (I think). You know what would be excellent? That hot green salsa for chips that you find in Mexican restaurants. I can never find it in the stores. Recently, someone brought over some bright yellow salsa from SF that was almost too hot to eat - I'd never seen it before. I thought that would work well for cooking too. Ditch, do you still need this (recipe) or the actual salsa? PM me if you do Jimmers gave me a great recipe, but I'd love to have yours as well. Feel free to post it here. If it's a secret family recipe, I'll send a PM. I was searching around on the internet today, and found that most of the recipes had tomatillos in them, which I'm guessing reduces the heat. I like it HOT! Tomatillos are for the flavor, the chiles are the ones with heat. Just increase the peppers. I'll get the recipe and post it. But there are plenty of good can ones. Also Rick Bayless green salsa is pretty good, but not spicy. Spicy salsa are usually red and not green Here in the Bay Area, most of the Mexican restaurants offer 3-4 salsas with chips. There's usually one green one that is just tasty without heat, a spicy hot one that is red, and then a green one that is the hottest. The yellow salsa (it was creamy with no visible chunks) that I had the other day was the hottest I've ever had. I'm always confused about salsa. Yes, please post your recipe. PS - Blowie won't make the pico.
