Hey, the first person to perfect the radio-controlled chile grinder is
going to make a fortune!  Or, for the high end of the market, maybe
something more like one of those remote-controlled bomb neutralizing
robots.

These days I'm leafing through the Ball company canning book, scanning for
recipes using what's coming from our garden now.  I see a few recipes
calling for optional whole dried chiles - I'd never thought of putting a
dried chile into a pickling mix.  I always thought drying was a way to save
them in itself, but maybe that's exactly how it is that you might have them
available in place of fresh when you're pickling.  So I wonder what you
get, a leathery pod floating on the top of the mix?
