John,
Unfortunately, I'm too far away to attend.
But here are a few tips:
o Buffet style
-- so some can take small samples to gage heat and flavor
o Labels for what it is and how hot
o A range of heats is desirable
o Some not hot -- some spouses of CHs may not be CHs
o Mostly moderate heat items
o Of course, some will want to experiment with the extreme
o Especially if someone might bring an extreme item
=> Have some 'antidotes' handy: Milk and ice cream are best.
For those who are lactose intolerant, iced tea is of some
limited help, but one has to sip it for 10 min or so.
o If you are going to attempt an extreme item, use extreme care
in the preparation. One such extreme is Doug's Evil Cookies
("R004" on http://www.abarnhart.com/faq/r.htm)
No foolin' -- these are evil. However, they are particularly
tasty with spoon of vanilla ice cream on top.
