Hi George, Thank you so much for the information and I would love the recipe for making the chile oil. My sis-in-law said she just bought them for me because she knew how much I like hot stuff and the package was interesting. But, hey, it is the thought that counts and from your info she has picked out a winner. Yvonne That's all I know. Not much, but oh well. B-) If you are interested I would send you the 'recipe' for making chile oil. Just let me know. George J. Goslowsky Monk of the TCS Holder of Fire We are only immortal for a limited time
