Upon return from Jim Campbell's chile fields about a month ago, I was faced with the daunting task of chopping nearly 50 pounds of red savinas. I thought I was prepared, wore gloves and everything (something I usually don't do). Unfortunately I dropped a piece of chopped hab on the floor and, while in stocking feet, stepped on it. I thought nothing of it but later that day (after having my feet confined to shoes for several hours), I came down with the nastiest HOT FOOT I've ever known. So a reminder to all of you out there...You protect your eyes, your hands, and many other nasty-when-burned parts, but don't forget to wear shoes as well (also handy if one drops a gallon zip-lock bag full of ground red savina powder in the kitchen and has to unexpectedly evacuate into inclement weather outdoors). This hasn't happened yet, but my wife swears it will ;) Happy Habbing and Getting ready for Seasonings Greetings and all that stuff, Jeff > ps. Note to newbies: Remember, I'm a trained idiot, so please don't try this at home, or anywhere else. > > :-> > Tony. >
