I love ya Rhody, but this is the "Hot Pepper Forum".

Just kidding, great link.

OMG I am going to run ourside right now and pull out all the mild bell peppers and throw them out. haha.

actually I dont have any. all mine are hot. well I Purchased one Aji Dulce #2 today which is suppose to be a mild chile. My daughter does not want all Habaneros Red Savinas Scotch Bonnets. etc.

women just cant take the heat. oops the women will cruxify me for that comment. haha.

Actually my daughter likes them pretty hot. she loves pequin for the flavor. she is also a horseradish and japanese wasabi sauce fan. goes up the nose and I dont like it as much. but it is nice at times.

I'm between a rock and a hard place. Want to make all these Habanero hot/flavored dishes, but when I make Salsa for my wife and kid, I cannot put in even one Jalapeno with membrane and seeds. *Sigh* What's the point in making dinner if only I can eat it :(
The solution was obvious once problem was identified! Make everything super mild initially and make some freakishly hot sauce on the side! Yeah baby! (of course there will come a time when you will have to explain and convince her that you really like her cooking, but enjoy it even more when it's nuclear spicy as well :) He, he! (not sure, but I think it was the Habanero sauce on Meatballs that caused that one!)

I think I'll have to buy some ornamental Peppers this summer to keep around the house and at work. I know I'll miss the plants.

Another way to cook with chiles for those who don't love real picante stuff is to use mild chiles, ie, chilaca, poblano, seasoning chiles and etc....

Add sauce after cooking.

Organic_nut, you are really asking for trouble.

I like all flavorful peppers; hot and sweet. My DH has started to complain that I cook too hot foods, since my pepper growing addiction started.
