Flavor Worth The Burn!

 Susan planted some habaneros for me this year, and this is the second picking. There is another batch that is still green, making three batches like this one. I am cutting them up and drying them, then I will grind them up into powder. I used a lot of this powder when I was working to flavor the beans and noodles I cooked for my lunches in the field. Susan would make Chex Mix for me to carry for snacks, and flavored that up with a bit of habanero. One day a USDA official asked me to take him out to look at some projects, and without asking he opened up my bag of Chex Mix and grabbed a generous bite. He thought he was gonna die! He should have asked.

I hope you don't mind if I enjoy a little retro schadenfreude at the expense of a gubmint alphabet agency drone. I'm surprised you weren't criminally charged for assault.
