  1. I am afraid of chili peppers... yes, afraid! I am wary of the heat and explosion of hotness.. I do like chili but on the mild side. My youngest son LOVES chili peppers... the hotter the better...to each his own :-)

  2. I'm with YOU. Did you know that when you freeze peppers they get hotter? I just learned that. Also....they take getting used to. And after a year, I'm just now getting brave enough to try a teaspoon or so...these green fresh roasted ones that day were very mild......however one NEVER knows. Proceed with caution....and they smell Divine. In the fall here, the air is thick with that smell. That all said, New Mexico is all about the Chile Pepper....red or green?....that is the biggest question around here.

  5. They ARE pretty Velma.....It is hard to pass them up for that....I still leave cooking them to the locals.....and Kathyd....be sure to combine that event with a trip to White Sands and a dip in the Hot Springs at the Riverbend in T or C! perhaps you know it....
