Damn.
Y'all are making me hungry.
I was dating this Hispanic girl in college from South Tucson... Her dad was making homemade salsa one night, and asked me to go out and pick six or seven "chiltipeens" (sp?) off the plant in the yard. They were these little round berries, apparently used to make the salsa hot.
I watched as he crushed and ground them in a glass bowl with the back of a spoon and put them in the salsa... Broke out the chips, and had the best (and hottest) salsa EVER.
Spent the night there that evening (her parents were cool like that). Got up in the morning, took a bowl out of the dishwasher (freshly-washed dishes), and fixed myself a big-arse bowl of Cheerios.
One bite of cereal and I was crying like a baby - Those damn peppers had literally soaked INTO the glass bowl!!! Her dad laughed his arse off - Said he "...forgot to scrub it with lemon rinds and salt."
Damn Mexicans...
