Oh all the trouble I had to go through to get those (and paid a fortune)... I could have had you send me some.. I'm either going to have to dig out my chili sauce recipe or just make it and write it down again.I keep these on hand.

DH dared a young child to eat one raw..off the plant..before he could tell the kid he was joking said kid was chewing.
Kid reminds his dad how mean that was on a regular basis.
When I was a kid I used to eat lunch at a local bar... Her specialty was chili and it was great chili. Problem was, with the range of customers she had, she had to make it mild--but she wanted something that could heat it up fast, without changing the flavor of her chili. She made up a sauce that would take mild to 5 alarm with less than a teaspoon. And it tasted great. I was home on leave, I think from Japan and stopped by in uniform for lunch. Once again I pleaded for her recipe and she finally caved.
