Chile assassin

Have you ever wondered why some chiles are mild and some knock your socks off - with absolutely not way of telling the difference except popping one in your mouth?  I have been suffering from chopping up a chile to go in our dinner tonight - my hand is on fire and it doesn't matter how often I wash my hands.  Of course, I grabbed a different chile out the other night, chopped it up, and ate it and never even noticed the heat.

May your life be interesting, indeed.
