We're good to go there. The second week in October is peak leaf week, truly gorgeous, and I can get you around without crossing the tourists' paths too often. Why, I even know how to get to places you can't get to from here!

Uh, How many X's do you prefer in your chili?

Cool, I agree that heat is important for the flavor; but, not enough to destroy the ability of the individual to enjoy the chili. An ice cold Red Stripe per bowl of chili is the ratio I strive to keep.

I've got one daughter that wants "Sissy Chili" while my baby girl (24 years old) prefers the XX. Go figure!

A good friend and I manage to make our own hot sauce from Habaneros grown in his garden. Good taste, good heat, and a bit of sweet, all from the peppers themselves. No sugar added...I'll bet a beer you'll like it.

The first time we made it, I cleaned and cut enough Habaneros to make a gallon of sauce, barehanded. I had to put on rubber gloves to pee!! The sting stayed in my fingers for three days afterward.

Hi, Tim,
I don't eat habaneros for many of the reasons you enumerated. I have no problem with habaneros used in the cooking of spicy dishes, though. I do eat jalapenos (don't have a tilde option and don't know how to find and upload a character map to the computer) and serranos (sparingly) and I do enjoy a good salsa or pico de gallo. I AM diabetic and am quite careful about refined sugar, eating as little as possible sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

Tim, you have any Yuengling (sp) in your area to go with the chili?
