Wow.
I wasn't going to post from this address anymore, but what the heck..
perhaps the stalkers at work will enjoy reading this one, too.
Pupusas...something I just learned about a few months ago from one of my 
few friends at work. JG told me how to make them, and what's funny is 
that he described it just as you did, adding the chicharones and cooking 
it until the cheese and fats runs out...lol....he even uses mozzerella 
for his cheese...freaky..lol
Anyway, JG brings me pupusas several times a month...very good!
That's a great idea, Rob.  Thanks!!
