"and my efforts to breathe were loud enough to wake long dead ancestors..."
Hah! That description hit my funny bone, Sharon! I know that sound to perfection; my Grandfather snored like that. You po' thang! I'm glad you were given "proper medicine" to deal with it.
I'm a believer in peppers. No doubt about it they have some great properties for our health. I've even used hot peppers as a poultice for sore muscles in the past. (Don't apply directly to your skin though.)
For eating I think my heat level is best just settling for cayenne and/or jalepeno...I haven't been able to enjoy the hotter peppers like Habanero or Ghost pepper yet. I had some Habanero jelly once though and I liked it that way.
Nice write-up, Sharon.
Shoe (who thinks you might want to change the pepper pic to cayenne peppers instead of the jalapeno peppers since the title mentions cayenne)
