greetings fellow chile heads! 

my belated muchos gracias to those who made great recs for omaha-ha eats 
.... i managed some decent grub whilst i was there .... i think the best 
lesson i learned was when in omaha, err on the side of american .... i 
ate in a persian place that tried to pass off a tortilla as lavosh .... 
for shame .... but i did have great bbq at blues brews and bbq, i had 
great fish n chips at a brewery at the old market, and chile head vince 
met me for some pretty tasty vietnamese (food, that is) .... and thanks 
vince for the big ass chiles! i still haven't had time to cook with them 
.... they are safely tucked in the freezer awaiting further instructions 
<S> .... i also checked out a place called sally mae's which has great 
soul food .... and a place called time out which has the best damn spicy 
fried chicken in town (so they tell me) .... not to mention the fact that 
they had sweet potatoe pie! .... i was pleasantly surprised to be able to 
find bottled hot stuff in most places to make eats palatable .... oh and 
there's this place called jim's bar and grill that served a great french 
dip, and had great homemade pies (my other weakness besides chiles .... )

that gives me an idea ..... it's about that time of the year .... pie 
baking season .... i'm thinkin scotch bonnet powder in the pie crust! 
..... what kinda powder would go best with apple pie? with pumpkin? it 
seems you can't go wrong with scotch bonnet or jalapeno powder .... do 
you think habs and pumpkin would go together? how bout chopped habs in 
the pie crust itself? and of course .... some hot stuff in the filling 
too .... or should i make the crust really hot and leave the filling to 
cool down the palate? cast yer vote folks .... i'm open to suggestions 
....

i'm off to reno this sunday, so if anyone has any suggestions for eats in 
reno, let me know .... hot or not .... i'll also be hitting phoenix and 
louisville and versailles (outside lexington) .... so any and all eats 
suggestions are welcome
