Yippee! The heroes emerge out of the victims - and the Big Lady Downstairs makes her best contribution. So very happy for you!

I started my copper revolution last year like you - out here in monsoon land, it seems it took a year for it to kick in.

The song lyrics... have a Slav flavor...

Gimme some of those seeds! I want to grow some next year, because aji are perfect - they have the habanero perfume but they're not too hot.

I pickled the aji chiles that you gave us last year in cachaça + white vinegar + olive oil (that's the way Brazilians do it - they're generally not as obsessed with chiles as I am and other Latinos) and I put them on my (amazing) black beans and rice that Tony and I eat weekly. Heaven!

The habanero plant you gave us last year is still alive and bearing fruit and I also bought a ghost chile plant at Lowe's, which grew like crazy. They're beautiful but sadly, I can no longer eat these, in my dotage.

The ghost chiles are so lethal, that you could purée and dilute that by 100X and it still would make a VERY powerful pepper spray, FYI. It appears that carolina reapers are based on ghost chiles. These are weapons!
