hey George! Ah, yes, I remember that well. I woke up later that day and forgot how I got back... Never have done ANYTHING close to that since and glad for it too! Actually, I don't think we'd be dead if we were chileheads back then...I think we'd be more refined with a "chile educated palate" and partial to bhut jolokia and red savinas. hahahahahaha
Speaking of adult beverages, I made a note on the MSN group, I need to save up some money to get the bourbon transformed into my "Hoosier Mint Julep". We polished that off in the group last year mostly on Friday night. A few drops left on Saturday. ;) But, need to get some more refined bourbon this year instead of plain ol' JB. I'm partial to Knob Creek and Maker's Mark...so, it'll be a toss up. Plus, I will use a mix of chiles this year instead of just bulgarian carrot. I will also probably use a mix of the mint from my yard. The mint patch is now "mated" with all the different varieties intertwined like Medusa's hair.
My wife is still saying she's going to Open Fields with me, so it will be interesting. ;) She's making up a noodle peanut sambal this weekend with chile's from the garden.
Well, I wish I could go to JG. That weekend coincides with my daughter's birthday. So, my commitments are pretty solid until she's all grown up! ;)

"Forever"? Weren't chilis indigenous to the Western Hemisphere, only
transplanted and adopted after the plunder of the New World in the 16th
Century? And Jim, will you have a row available at Open Fields? ;)
By the way, who all is going to Jungle Jim's(no relation to our beloved
J.C.) Market for the Hot Festival in Cincinnatti this (aug.4) weekend?

Now, a heartwarming story about college stupidity at Indiana University,
starring Ted and I.
(Sorry Ted, but if we'd had chili peppers at that age, we'd be dead now)
It involved a couple quarts of sparkling apple cider, a fifth of
Seagrams 7, and two shot glasses. To make a long story short, Ted and I
killed the fifth of Seagrams and the two bottles of cider in under 45
minutes. Before we even had the chance to get a good buzz, we went in
the dorm bathroom to relieve ourselves. Things were ok, then all of a
sudden, we looked at each other in surprised panic, then ran for the
stalls, where we proceeded to "refund" all of the booze and apple cider
chasers. The best part of that was, we were LAUGHING our heads off.
Even at the time, we'd grasped the absurdity of the situation, and in a
sort of out of body way, were laughing at the whole concept. I fell
back into my dorm room, and eventually passed out on the floor snuggling
with my army duffle that was full of university-issue one sheet toilet
tissue (that's another whole story as to why I had that), and Ted
trudged across campus to his apartment. Ah, the halcyon days of youth!!
