Ron, I know this will come as a shock, but I have never dealt with chillies........ I'll pass the suggestion along, though. I do have one daughter who snacks on pickled jalapeno peppers out of a jar she keeps handy. I only live 15 minutes south of what is known as New England. Can you picture some Bostonian puting chillies in his corn chowder...???? Would you also like to read what my correspondant does with those stand-by hot concoctions..?
