A million years ago, I worked at Harlingen AFB when my hsuband was in service. One of my office mates kept jars of jalapenos in her desk and snacked on them all day. You think that's what turned her hair fiery red?
A million years later, I find that the hot stuff irritates my tum. A mild habanero might be fine now. But back then, I got into the jalapeno thing, and could eat more than the big strong AF guys, some TX natives. We actually had contests. Imagine that!
When I was in high school (boarding), we got a movie every weekend. Part of the pleasure of this was eating snacks from home. Mine were the little yellow hot pepper "pickles." Seemed like everybody in my dorm had their jars or pickled peppers. Today, I can hardly stand to eat them unless I "work up" to it. Oh. Poblanos are yummy...Best Mexican restaurant in the area serves them. Just right.
