    I just wanted to give my humble opinion concerning Scotch Bonnets. As
with all other opinions dealing with taste this is a personal opinion and as
always someone eles may have had a totally different experience in a whole
other dimension or reality.
I grew Red and Chocolate Scotch Bonnets last year. I was very fond of both,
particularily the Chocolates. Heat from both was very good, just a hair
below the generic Habs I've grown. They worked extremely well in salsas and
for cooking. I just plain liked them. I didn't grow any this year because I
am growing Red Savinas and more generic Habs but I will again in the future.
I would just hate to see such nice peppers get a bad reputation.
    The other thing I wanted to mention was the Chipotle Enchilada sauce I
made last week. I don't actually have a recipe. I just took a 8oz can of
Chipotles in Adobo, some good Red Chile powder (Santa Cruz I think), a
couple ounces of tomato sauce, warmed them up in a sauce pan and thickened
with just a bit of flour. Great stuff and I have enough left over to convert
to barbeque sauce for this weekend. The enchilada were a great compliment to
the Chile Verde enchilada sauce I made for the other enchiladas.
    Other than that I hope all is growing well for everyone.

Best Regards To All,
Dan 'Dragonlips' McWilliams
