Epsilon is usually used when noting a small quantity...nothing to do with
smallest. For instance when comleting a proof and you want to show that
your case is good for the given quantity and for an interval surrounding
that quantity you would denote it as quantity +/- epsilon. Then again this
is an engineers point of view. Those math guys...well they just see things
differently :^)
Chile related....I have begun the great debate as to grow from seed or
buy. I think for the first time in years I may just have to buy plants in
the Spring. No time and even less room in the house this year. I figure if
I depend on someone like Cross Country Nurseries instead of Home Depot I
will greatly increase the probability of receiving the type plants I buy.
For Emeril's recipe, have you looked at foodtv.com?
