The wife and I hit the Italian Market in Philly yesterday.I went past 
a produce stand that had boxes of chiles marked Habaneros. 
When I looked in the box, they were a beautiful chocolate color. 
They were selling for $2 a pound and I figured that I would get some 
before I left. After picking up all sorts of goodies and when heading 
back to the truck, we stopped at that stand only to find that what 
was on display was the tiny ones that went to the bottom of the 
box. I felt these were too much trouble to work with and started 
rummaging around the stand for a substitute. I found 1/2 bushel 
boxes of them for $10. Sold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I got home, I weighed them out and I got just over 8 pounds 
making them $1.25 a pound. I am hauling extras into my CH 
friends at church today and will probably fire up the smoker to 
make some "special" ones. More chocolate habs than I ever 
imagined!
