Tonights dining delight

This was actually very good.   The thing that amazed me is although it was spicy the hotness from the jalapeno's was not there.  I only used one, maybe I should have used two.  I also made corn on the cob and green beans.   I have discovered "I can't Believe Its Not Butter"  has a spray pseudo butter spray.  It gives a butter flavor but instead of the margarine flavor you taste the flavor of the corn.  It was especially tender and sweet.   I decided to eat it while it is on sale and before someone decides to go to the market and buy it all up to make fuel.
