I made the
batch of chili I discussed yesterday, and I think I finally have to admit
that I am incapable of making a version of this suited to people with normal
tastes. The plan is to share this with family, and I really did intend on it
being milder than usual, but it's turned out extremely spicy. I guess it was
good that I only used half the habaneros I bought, because these were the
steroidal kind (they are said to range from 100,000–350,000 on the Scoville
scale, so there's a range). I think if I used all six instead of three, I may
have created a meltdown or something. Oh well, more chili for me!
