I bet chilerelleno knows what I am going to do with these.

Was looking for some to wrap some lamb in. Where did you find those?

I see them at most large Asian markets.

Got them at asian market. They all have them in the freezer section. Also picked up some daikon for my mock potato dishes.

Still have to find the Achiote powder . Hopefully our local Mexican market will have.

No asian market around here but plenty of mexican markets. Think they will have them?

Achiote powder or paste.
If you can't find it, you can grind annatto seed in a spice grinder.

If you're keeping the leaves frozen for now, and can't find the achiote, let me know and I'll send you some.

Ok thanks

Found in little bags. Got 4. Should cover it I hope. Also picked up some salsa. That Maldo is incredible! They are the best! Also some carnitas

.

Nice!
Them Habaneros will be great for the Pibil, it's supposed to be a very hot-n-spicy dish.

Got them from my local farmer. Took a bottle wine over there yesterday and got some goody's.

Looks like you are off to a good start.
Spicesinc.com has Ground Achiote and a large variety of Dry Whole and Ground Chiles, all at good prices. A well stocked Mexican market may be able to do better but, like where I live, there are no markets in the area...JJ
