Thank you all for you welcome. I appreciate it and am grateful. As to being moderate or otherwise. I don't have enough experience to pick. If my past is any indication, it is very possible that I will have likes and dislikes all across the heat spectrum. As to my name. I answer to all kinds of names. (My Father was in the navy as was I) "Norm" is fine so is "Norman". I have also been called "Moose", "Dinosaur", "Big Foot" and several more descriptive but less flattering names. I answer to them all without taking any of it in anything but good humor. What peppers will I be growing this year? There are so many choices. There will be a few Habaneros. A patch of "NU MEX Big Jim", for a friend in New York. Some "Long Slim Red Cayenne", "Datil", "Bishops Crown" and "Hanoi Market Orange". These will be spread around my Garden, yard, and family farm. As to recipes. Well, I will try anything that seems to appeal to me. However, keeping the warning of one member in mind, I will refrain from passing on any. I may just send a url to where I found it or what book it came from and leave it at that. Again I thank you all for your warm welcome.
