A BIG FReeper THANKS to all who bought The Clinton Legacy Cookbook. Your emails and comments on threads have been heartwarming and a wonderful reward to those of us who devoted our time and love to this project. We are grateful for your kind and humorous words and want each and every one of you to know we appreciate you taking the time to write.

Thanks to all those who loved the cookbook enough to order more for your friends and family, or who gave their copies away as gifts and wanted another copy of their own.

A big hug to all.

I just found out habañeros grow well here in Wisconsin. I thought I may be too far north, but am assured they do well. I may have to plant a small garden this summer :)

[Roscoe]

I've got my copy! Looks great!!!

You can keep them in the house if they don't do well outside. If we can find some starter plants, no doubt we'll grow habanero this year too. We actually just had 2 good-sized jalapeno plants in large pots on the back porch. We tried to start them from seeds a couple summers ago (we live in NJ) and had little success, so last year we bought small plants at our favorite local garden center and transplanted them into huge pots. They did very well for us - got very large and strong. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING!!! :)

[jellybean]

Maybe I'll order some seeds from The Jung Seed catalog now and start them indoors, then transplant in the spring.

Hey girls, I have grown my own herbs and peppers (4 types) for years in 12 gal plastic milk jugs cut back to about 3/4 and holes punched in the bottom. I kept the handles on so I can easily move the plants around at various times of the year, also the dirt is low (pebbles first, then up to about 1/2 full with rich potting soil) and the lips create sort of a green house, which is perfect for germination. These babies thrive and produce enough high quality fresh herbs all year long to keep us, my neighbors and daughters (who pinch them when they visit..LOL) in great food any time we want or need them. The trick is not allow them to get leggy and tall stems by trimming frequently. I use the trimings by chopping the leaves and putting them in ice cube trays with water, and freezing, then into marked freezer bags for later use, at about 1 teaspoon of fresh herbs in each cube. Kinda like a male Martha3b ....taking bows...smirk...ha!

Thanks. Habaneros are wonderful. Have you ever gotten red savinas?

[carlo3b]

...I meant to say girls, ""and guy"" ..blush...also....(12 gal milk jugs)=12 one gal milk jugs, ...but you knew that didn't you? Sheeesh...LOLOLOL

[carlo3b]

Whoa...Red Savinas are {{{{{EXTRA HOT}}}}} as in the heat has been recorded as high as 525,000 Scoville Units... YIKES. The Caribbean Red Habanero heat has been recorded as high as 475,000 Scoville Units. The typical Habanero pepper has a heat range of 200,000 to 300,000.
Iraq could be growing these instead of building Nukes and have the same effect...Bwhahahahahahhah

[nickcarraway]

I've never found any Red Savinas. Have you tried them?

[jellybean]

It's the dress that Howie wears sometimes (only on special occasions) that fooled ya...Sorry, Howie...your secrets out!

I was wondering where you got 12 gal milk jugs...even here in WI we don't make 'em that big. Thanks for clearing that up ;)

Thank you for the ping & the recipe (-:
(i really like salsa)

Hope you have a nice day....

[carlo3b]

I've only found Red Savinas at a speciality shop in New Orleans and the Hong Kong Markets popping up in most major cities. I've heard you can grow them by ordering seeds at GNS Spices...but we have a pro that can advise us on this...Pinging The Shrew

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the ping, carlo. To quote a Hollywood classic "You run a nice, lively place here."* jellybean, stanz and Howie are helping w/ the sequel aren't they? Lol!

Have you come up with a Presidents' Day ad campaign, yet? I'll zip the info off to like-minded folks - you know, members of the VRWC.

Thanks for the good food, the laughs!

To my knowledge Red Savinas are being sold by the folks at GNS. They are a good company I have purchased from them in the past. They also sell a large variety of other chilies including Habenero.

Fearless Leader has returned. Just made a hard copy of the dip.
By the way, if you throw in some ginko biloba, it stokes the libido.
That's from my upcoming book " A Guide To Sexual Amnesia."
