[CH] Red problem #1

Peeps,

Thanks to a kind offer from Jim Campbell, I'm exhausted.  I woke up tired
from spendiing yesterday in the kitchen, hot-canning a red habanero sauce
I've named Red Problem #1 (there may be a problem #2).  This is the hottest
sauce I've ever made by far, and these weren't even the _hot_ peppers I
got.  This batch is from a 5-gallon bucket of red habaneros, but I still
have another bucket of Red Savinas.

Jim allowed me to glean from his frozen field, and I got an education in
small-scale commercial farming.  I stopped picking after two buckets, due
to time constraints, and it broke my heart to walk away from so many more
peppers.  I didn't even get one percent of one percent of what was out
there.  I'm used to a handful of peppers being a noteworthy quantity, but I
watched people harvest a truckload of the things.

BTW having ten gallons of habaneros in the car is like driving with a
slow-leaking tear gas cannister on the passenger seat.
