Hi all 
As it seems a bit quiet a few small items:-

Did anyone see the clip on the BBC World service this morning on
hot chille addiction in China?
They showed people in hospital with gastric problems supposedly caused
by overindulgence in the craze for "Chille Hot Pot"
This is heaps of chilles, which looked like cayenne peppers. Fried in
boiling hot oil with various pieces of offal and vegetables.

I should think the pepper/oil would not be too good for ones digestion.

Habenero Ice cream. Cut some fresh orange habs in half. Scooped out the
seeds. Filled with apricot ice cream and put in the freezer overnight.
Delicious, but wimp that I am I needed another scoop of ice crean to
follow.

Drying peppers. Is there an easy way to dry all the fresh peppers that I
am picking daily? As the weather cools down I am afraid they will tend
to rot if I leave them on the plants to dry.

Cheers
