Ah, the joys of springing chiles on those with false bravado! I've
discovered, as have my friends, that I am unable to make a statement on
whether a chile-seasoned dish is hot or moderate as my tastebuds are darn
tolerant of the heat. I've taken to telling folks not to ask me.
Somehow I don't think he would be as happy with the chiles as his wife
would. =)
