Happy Holidays Carol!

It might last decades here (grin). If I need milk for a recipe I just go out
and 
get it at the time. I like to use coconut milk in some of my recipes as well.

I'll have to look, I generally go jalepeno or hotter when I have the choice. 
Anaheims and pasilla's perhaps when I want less heat than jalepenos. We 
have a large asian (Korean, laotian, Viet, Hmong, 'Yards, Thai and Cambodian) 
community and a large and growing ever larger Hispanic population so our 
choices of peppers have been expanded as the new "tastes" move in. I like! 
Even the asian markets are giving increased space to latino products. And 
the Mexican imports REALLY like the hot Korean food!

That's where I first found it and tweaked it to suit our tastes (Anne likes 
sweet so that's where the sugar came in). Jim uses sesame oil in his...I've 
never done that but may give it a go in my next batch (this week probably 
now that Amanda is home for a week or so!) to see how I like it.

{erhaps

We have em fairly often here, we have friends who grow them and we get 
plenty in season and they are cheap enough at the store we can usually get 
em 5/$1.oo. I make a fruity salad with blueberries, kiwi, papaya, lime juice 
and cilantro and a mild green or red pepper...yummalicious!
Isn't it interesting how different people's tastebuds sense flavors? Or is it
you 
taste the samething but describe it differently?
Hmmmmmm
chat with you soon
