You forgot to add the TBSP of ground habanero :) (yum) Actually, some of the southerners I know mix this all up with mayo included. I never did quite understand (nor eat) that one... As for this ambrosia recipe, well, it suits Twister [TM!] quite well...nothing like a mandarin orange bewixt yer toes. Of course, removal of said fruits be all part of the game...just don't choke on the nuts ;p Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
