Hot Stuff

Peppers from the garden, chopped up and popped into the freezer so they can add some heat to our chilies and stews this Winter. We had some cross-pollination going on between the jalapenos and the anaheim peppers and the result was a nice big hot pepper. I tasted them before I started chopping and they did not taste brutally hot. Since I don't clean with chemicals anymore I no longer have disposable rubber gloves around which I now regret dearly. My hands are on fire despite being washed in cold water frequently. They had actually gotten better in the afternoon, but then I washed dishes and the hot water set them off again. Ouch!
