Thanks for asking Starwind! X-Mas is pretty bland, only a few Chile-Heads show up expecting my "El Grande Treats".... But Easter is a *HOT* pepper festival. Southern Maine to northern Rhode Island relatives who "Eat The Heat" expect me to supply them with Capsicum's *fire*...... Last year I opened a "fresh" jar of mixed peppers & told all, green-mild, Red-Medium, Orange-Hot. My wife's first cousin said the "Orange"Habs were mild & didn't believe he got a "cold" one.....*Popped* another from serving dish & chewed for 30 seconds...... Spent the next ½ hour pouring milk down his throat...All bow to the altar as John did for the next 2 days as I received an E-Mail from his wife asking if she could get a jar to "Shut him up in the "water closet" for 2 days as the peppers had. Happy holidays & seasons greetings to all, Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Starwind" <starwindevensong@attbi.com> Sent: Friday, 20 December, 2002 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [CH] Wave a White Flag- Put Away The Pistol > > To all others: > Back to El Grande. > > What are everyone's plans for your holiday dinner?
