Sorry. Unclear what happens with the poblanos? Once they are flattened, scraped? Just “juice”?

My apologies, Linda, careless of me. They are chopped up and mixed into the filling for the eggs.

I still prefer Gordon's Gin which I began drinking when I lived in New Orleans. Other Gins just do not have the same "juniper" punch. The price is right too. I also began my Margherita days with Sauza tequila. No reason to change, although I sometimes use Rose's lime juice instead of fresh lime juice. As far as Nola crab gratin, as is said, "ain't nuttin better!" You may have to take out a loan to obtain great lump crabmeat. Oh, well. Such great ideas in this post, Chef J.T. Merci!

Gordon's gin was always the family favorite. I was tasted a pre-war one (1939) and it was Gordon's on steroids. Delicious.

Great. Now I can't drink gin anymore. I haven't tasted Cabernet Sauvignon since 1982 when I had a Heitz Martha's Vineyard from 1975. I can't taste it but I do remember being dazzled. :-)

Especially when the ingredients list is crab, salt. (salt optional)
