Oops - sorry folks, this was only meant in jest.  I didn't
mean to offend anyone.

Chile-related:  Well the peppers are ripening at a frantic rate
here in Ottawa, Canada right now.  I am picking red habs, scotch
bonnets, jal's (fully ripened to red), super cayenne, serranos, 
hungarians and hot portugese.  Crop was really plentiful this year 
but had a few mislabelled seedlings (my anaheims turned out to be
hot portugese - not sure how that happened).  I now have to go and
reclaim my dehydrator from the person I lent it to so that I can
preserve my bounty!!!

Meanwhile munching the fresh ones ....
