In addition, by using moderate chiles, you can develop deeper, more
rich and intense flavors without making it so hot your head explodes,
and flavor is, of course, what it's all about. For example, Jim's
Smokin' Chipotle smothering the Trader Joe's chicken enchilada I'm
having for lunch. Great sweet & rich flavor, not all that hot. If I'm
feeling adventurous, I can spice it up with some purira powder, cayenne
powder, or just a smidge of habanero, and keep the rich flavor. But,
if I make something with only really hot peppers, you quickly overpower
the subtle flavors with fruity heat.

Actually, puce is a pretty intense color. But not one I like. A nice
green, perhaps. I like blue, but only a very few peppers come in blue.
Maybe Orange...
At any rate, as a proud moderate, I'd love a shirt if we can come up
with one economically. Alas, I'm an auditory person, so visual
creation isn't my forte. OK, bad pun...
