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!

Got some seeds in the bay window drying for you! Never got the ghost chili thang. Latent masochism? Everyone pouring over the border should be required to eat five to stay in the country . . .
