Hello fellow chile-heads,

Yesterday, I stumbled across the Chile-Heads Digest while I was looking up 
something on the web.  The Digest appears to be filled with great recipes, 
helpful hints for growing/preserving peppers, and wit (all those hot 
peppers must do something for the brain cells <smile>).

I don't know if Steve Thomas still subscribes to the CH list, but this 
weekend I'm going to try a recipe he posted in '97 for Pork Steaks in Adobo 
(Bistek de Puerco en Adobo).  It looks like it might be quite tasty.

I have a question that I hope someone out there can answer.  I am growing 
peppers in pots on my balcony.  The plants in the pot that contains 
jalapenos, polynesian, and cayenne peppers are filled with blooms/ peppers. 
 Since flowering, the plants have been crawling with tiny ants.  The ants 
don't appear to be harming the plants.  Does anyone know why I have ants on 
my pepper plants?  I've left them alone, thinking they might be aiding in 
the pollination process.  Any suggestions/ideas?

Regards,
Melony
