Oh c'mon, John! If you arrived at MY door with a big red ring around 
your kisser, and red, greasy fingers, I would assume that you had been 
chomping on some of your peppers, which somehow you had deep fried! I 
still indulge in chips on occasion, however they are all so loaded with 
salt that I try to refrain from  eating too many. Unfortunately, all 
snacks seem to have tooooo much of something bad....salt, sugar, and 
preservatives. And I have no wish to be preserved for at least another 
10 years or so, yet!!  Cheers, the OLD guy in BC, who still hopes to get
