Although the chef at a local Chinese restaurant has tried his best to make me whimper. I just keep calling him a whimp. Last spring I set out 6 Habaneros that produced over 600 peppers. (I was thrilled) I would take the chef a quart zip lock bag full of habs about every other week. I got a lot of strange looks from other customers. He says I am the only person on earth that can call him a whimp and live to tell about it. :) If by chance this does happen to you, you can save face, by asking for a bowl of sour cream. It will help keep you from crying while you finish the meal. If you still can't handle it, (tsk, tsk) ask for a doggie bag. Voodoo CH1128 Wilson Phillips Eagle Computers #2-D Seargent S.
