Hello all,
    Well We're back from our honeymoon in Hawaii and all I can say is
Moloka'i is a blessed place.  Granted chiles are not on the bill of fare
but the people more than make up for it.
    The garden in Hollywood is going great guns but I'm a bit worried
about the Cayennes.  Plenty of chiles on the plants but the leaves are
curled.  The plants are loaded with long beautiful chiles and the leaves
are green (not deep green), but they just don't look right.  Is this
normal?  This is the first time growing these and I don't have any
refrence as to how they should look.  Does this sound right?


Ceviche With Shrimp and Avocado

1 1/2 Pounds peeled raw shrimp
Juice of 5 Limes
2 Tablespoons seeded, minced jalepeno
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 Cucumber, peeledseeded and diced
2 Avocados, peeled and diced
1 bunch Cilantro, chopped
Fried Tortilla chips (optional)

Rinse shrimp under cold running water and pat dry.  Place in a mixing
bowl with lime juice, 1 tablespoon jalapeno, 2 tablespoons red onion and

sprinkling of salt.  Toss well to coat.  Spoon into plastic bag, press
out air and seal tightly.  Refrigerate, turning from time to time to
distribute lime juice
, until shrimp are opaque, about 1 hour.

 When ready to serve, toss shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon jalepeno
and remaining 2 tablespoons red onion, cucumber, avocados and cilantro.
Taste and adjust salt. Serve with Tortillas.
