I make a very simple embellishment that I use on almost any food that I
want to add heat to, a proverbial problem for me since, lo, I am the
only chilehead in my family.  I just take a few raw (or frozen) whole
peppers, spray them with Pam, sprinkle with onion powder and garlic
salt, and pop them into the toaster oven for about 15 minutes at 300
degrees.  When done, I remove the stems, chop them up, and viola!, any
food can become an efficient capsaicin delivery system.  (it was
fantastic in leftover Thanksgiving dressing).
