So, I'm at the monthly meeting of the Vintage Iron Riders (my old
farts on old bikes bunch) when my friend George Patino drops a baggie
with four orange/red chilies in it on my table.
About two inches or a bit more long - fairly broad shouldered, nobbly
erose skin, shaped like an elongated triangle. "Ugly-arsed
habaneros/savinas" thinks I at first glance.
"Bhut jolokia" says George. "First I've picked."
That was Wednesday night.
Thursday at noon I met with my chilli-cook buddies for our weekly
chilli lunch and brought half of my bounty for my friend Les. We
showed the peppers around the table then cut the bottom 1/4" off of
the smaller one ... thinking that across two 16 oz bowls of chilli we
could get a goodly dose of heat and flavour without getting ignorant.
Friends, let me tell you .... here is is Thursday evening and my mouth
is still tingling a bit.
George told me Wednesday evening that his eight plants have loads of
blossoms and also have set lots of fruit. Promised me another dozen of
these guys - which, if yesterday is any indication may just be a
lifetime supply for me. Bv)=
I may have to talk to Sandy about joining the Moderate Corps as the
Motorcycle Messenger and Dispatch Rider. I think I have met my match.
