Howdy all,

Just wanted to say what a great time I had in Jim's pepper fields.  The 
hospitality and knowledge I recieved in those 2 days will keep my head and 
belly full for a long, long time. 

The Red Savinas are beautiful (and HOT!). I just finished chopping and 
destemming/seeding close to 20 pounds of them. Some for the freezer, some for 
mash, and the rest for the dehydrators (2 of them going full blast for 
probably the next week).  My fingertips are burning and I am not allowed to 
come near my wife until I wipe my eyes with my hands without tearing or 
redness. It looks to be a while as these things just drip capsaicin.  I'll 
probably have to dedicate my cutting board and ulu knife just to chopping my 
peppers.

Looking forward to meeting more wonderful people from the list at other 
activities (and Jim's again next year).  Everyone was great, with no macho 
posturing over who could eat the hottest peppers and such. Everyone tasted 
what they wanted and stayed clear of anything they felt uncomfortable with. 
The first thing I noticed was that even with a mouthful of incredibly hot 
substances... eyes tearing, noses running, and gasping for breath... EVERYONE 
had this terrific smile on their faces while doing it. 

I'll post the pictures I took just as soon as I get them back.

Thanks Jim,

Jeff "The Pepper Man" Schickowski
