I'm still here, lurking. I get my email read about twice a month or so, since I have been working a lot out of town. Thanks again for your interest in my powder. I have had allergy tests run and found out I'm allergic to the nightshade plants (potato, tomato, pepper), corn, carrots and chocolate. I have been advised to lay off of peppers, especially grinding them, for a while to see if my condition improves. This is really a bum trip. Try eating out without eating corn, peppers, spuds, or tomatoes. Don't delete me from your memory just yet, because there is a good chance that the shots plus some time will allow me to get back into the peppers without a reaction. For now, though, it looks like a dismal, heatless diet at my house. Believe me when I say that bland is the pits! Hope all you Chileheads are doing well, and good growing to all you folks north of the equator. Calvin
