I would say that we are more than Moderates at this point and that 1/4 tsp was something else. Even in that amount of liquid. I ground the chipotle myself from some older chipotle pods I had in the cupboard. So I was expecting mild heat, enough for Trevor to handle. I was soooo wrong. I had to dollop more than 1 dollop of sour cream on the soup to calm the tastebuds.

Whoa! What kind of jalapenos did you use for the chipotles? Even Biker
Billy jals shouldn't be that peppy ... and Biker Billy is about at the
top of the jalapeno heat range.
Too bad the seeds probably aren't viable. Might be worth growing some
off that experience.
