It's green peanut time in the Old South and I've got a new twist on an
old Southern delicacy.  I'd like to think I discovered it, but I'd be
genuinely surprised to find out that it hadn't already occurred to some
other Southern Chile-Head.  When making my first batch of boiled peanuts
this summer I tossed a big handful of seeded fresh Habs into the brine.
Mmmmmm!  My taste buds are tingling just remembering it.  Just be
careful you don't inhale any of the steam rising from the pot - it can
get ugly!  The more mature peanuts don't get very spicy unless you use a
lot of Habs, but the little soft baby peanuts get really intense. 
You'll be tempted to eat them, shells and all.
     Has anyone tried roasting some mature raw peanuts with smoked Hab
powder?  I'll bet they would be good, but I'm not sure how to go about
it.
