I'm laying it out, my beliefs about chile rellenos:

A chile relleno is:
not a frittata
not a souffle.

Cheese is important, a key player.
But, like Kobe Bryant, it is more toothsome
when it cedes the spotlight.

Frying can only lead
to death.

Oozing is permitted, a sign of succulence.

So is spice, as heat means
courage.

Roast your chiles well.
As is true for all morsels,
toughness is never celebrated.

Some things show well in pieces:
Cake, pizza, toast, baklava.
But a chile must be kept whole.

Sauce:
Treat her as if she were a bully
and God will appear to you in a whirlwind only.
I hear this is a bad, bad sign.
