Most store-bought jalapeños are mild. Not just slightly hot, but mild
like a bell pepper. (I seek out the ones with cracks in the skins, they
often have a little heat.) So I started buying serranos, but they are
not really hot either now. Yesterday I bought a handful of little Thai
peppers thinking at least they would be hot. Well, some of them are,
barely.

This is starting to **** me off.

Fresh habaneros, dried chilitepins and chipotles, and cayenne pepper
don't taste right for a lot of uses, even though they are still hot.
Maybe I need to try the Asian and Mexican grocery stores.
