I guess I didn't spike it up enough. So she got up and got some of Jim's pepper powder.... Seriously, I am having a big problem with my back, 25 years of lugging Hammond organs and pianos around I guess. So, we both have a great little Ozzie physiotherapist, who is over here every winter for six months while our regular gal runs away to Arizona. Sorta like " Lend Lease"! So last week we had her over for dinner, Chinese. She sent me an email to tell me how much she enjoyed it, so it must have been edible. Did two Szechuan dishes and had no complaints about heat, in fact I am going to give her some of my dried chile peppers to take home to Oz. I still have some super chilies putting out fruit in one pot in a store room where there is a nice bright window. Cheers, Doug in BC
