Thanks to all for the suggestions on the proper atonement and especially
to those concerned I may have been even a little serious. "She who
hangs the moon" found the whole thing fascinating and amusing. Though
she denies Chilehead status, she did scarf down a deliberately mild
salsa with two jalapenos and a serrano from the garden and opine that it
was pretty bland.
Yesterday we were returning from a trip across the state line to
register her car in the state of her school instead of in the land of
the 24 billion plus deficit. In any case, we were on the way back and
came on a non-injury semi-trailer accident in which a half a trailer of
green and red bell peppers were strewn across the roadway. "She" noted
all the slow traffic and pulled way over on to the left side of the
shoulder. When I asked why so far to the left (not dangerous as we were
all crawling but odd) she said,
"I am not taking any chances squishing even one of the peppers."
"Uh, why" I asked innocently
"Cause with my recent record on the Chipotle sauce, I am not taking any
chances with El Grande lest a SWAT team of Chileheads descend on me and
cart me off to hard field labor or something." she answered with one of
those "gotcha " smiles.
I believe she gets it :)

El Grande)
