When I looked up recipes that used habaneros, the most that I saw used
was 1/2. Usually it was 1/4. They have great heat, but will definitly
take the edge off any excess testosterone that you may have. Personally,
I like the flavor of jalapenos better.

Praise the lord, we will be getting our 3rd day of 90+°F (32°C) today..

turn red this afternoon.

Well we didn't make it to 100 today, only 98.6. But with 14% humidity
and a strong
wind, it really dried everything out. Will have to water everything in
the am.
Since July 1, we have had 4 days in the high 80s, 9 days over 100,
and the rest
all between 90 and 99. It is "supposed" to get down to 77 by Sat. We
shall see.

You might enjoy looking at a very nice farm near here. Same family for
almost 100 years.
