| 38 | * Dear God Why |
| 39 | |
| 40 | The year was 2010. The season was summer. The location a pot garden. A |
| 41 | bell pepper seedling died a few weeks into the growing season owing to |
| 42 | being weak or perhaps poorly taken care of. To avoid wasting the soil |
| 43 | and pot a package of habanero seedlings was procured; one was to be |
| 44 | planted and the other two given away, but no one came through on their |
| 45 | offer to adopt the plants. Thus the garden ended up with three |
| 46 | habanero plants. It is a little known fact that habaneros produce |
| 47 | ridiculous numbers of peppers, and so something had to be done with |
| 48 | them after the family grew sick of spicy foods every night. |

| 50 | ** A Justification for the Mild Variant |
| 51 | |
| 52 | The initial super hot sauce proved to be tasty for a moment and then |
| 53 | overwhelmingly hot. Now, don't get me wrong, I like incredibly spicy |
| 54 | things, but the initial flavor of the sauce was rather nice and it |
| 55 | seemed a shame to have it destroyed by the habanero. With the |
| 56 | replacement of some habanero by a sweet pepper the flavors come into |
| 57 | balance, and the sauce becomes a rather nice adjunct to things like |
| 58 | chili or black bean burritos. |
