first, there are mild Anaheims and there are hotter Anaheims - don't know
what makes the difference but every bag I've bought seems to run the gamut
from mild to hot

second, pasillas - they look like a cross between a bell and an Anaheim only
a little bigger and they are hot - right now my local market has them for
1.49 pound
