David, Just wanted to let you know that your groaner didn't go unnoticed, it just hurt a bit too much to acknowledge at first. But I'm a pun lover as well as chile lover so I had to comment once I got some chiles eaten to ease the pain. David Cook wrote: "...here's the Austin Hotluck write-up. First, I gotta apologize for the delay in getting this posted, but hopefully my lame excuse will make itself clear as this goes along...(snip)...we were both hit by a car pulling out of a parking lot. As a result I was left on crutches and my wife was hobbling very, very slowly." It is summer in Houston. Temp around 90F with 100% humidity yesterday; to be similar today but cooler on the weekend (Praise El Grande). So far pequin (Firecracker), habs and a chile labeled "Chili Red" doin' fine as frog hair. I fear for the Rocotos but had to give them a try (tips anyone?). The pods on the Chili Red look long and thin so far...anyone know this pepper? Deb in Houston
