No chile heads showed up at today's hotluck. Two had computer problems and lost my address, and were unable to reach me until too late. Never heard anything from the other two - never told me they changed their minds and were not going to show up. However, my friend Cliff, who travelled three hours from Wilkes-Barre, PA, and Jean & Mark and Jason and David came. We had a great time. It was very hot and the pool was really cold. All the new brickwork and the deck looked well. My book, "Scoville The Chile Pepper" was a hit. Everybody wants Scoville Units renamed "Stober Units". David, the three year old, likes eating the HOT wasabi peanuts! We had beef with cabbage, spicy meatballs and spicy apple green chile cake, along with a great box of samples from Mild To Wild.
