You *buy* commercial chili powder??? You aren't a Texian -- you're hardly even an American. Commercial chili powder is an abomination. What's the point of growing all those chiles if you are going to buy <argh!> chili powder? Real chili is made using home pulverized chiles, not that stuff they sell at the store. It's too late for an Alamo treatment. Liz
