I don't know if every Cub Foods is like this, but I happened to go to the one in Woodstock and found, wonder of wonders, a small packet of whole chile tepins. They really are tasty right out of the bag! They also had both prepackaged and bulk chiles de arbol, bulk Californias, bulk Japanese, and a few others. There were "fresh" chiles there, but they didn't look too great to me. I guess I'm a little spoiled by having a garden every summer. I found plenty of other tasty things, but I thought I should share the chiles with the list. I also managed to get to Lowe's (but not Home Despot). I couldn't find Tepin seeds on the Burpee racks. What city was it that had Tepins in the Home Despot again? -- <mailto:crataegus@yhc.edu> Allen Marshall
