I'm assuming that since you mention frost, especially in October, that you're nowhere near enough to me for me to even think about getting there! And the thought of running naked through fields of chiles, well, let's not even go there! Now, to change the subject...I was informed at my new job that my day to bring food is Friday. So, I made up a batch of Mexican Cornbread, using my serranos. Did a Quality Control taste...still fell a good lip burn an hour later. One of two things will happen...I'll either be relieved of the duty of bringing food again, or I'll find out I work with Chile-heads! No downside to this one. Marilyn
