John, thank you very much for sharing. That is very cool about your Dad! Like, famous and everything!
When you say "ground red pepper" are you talking about cayenne or something else? And we're talking the powdery stuff, not the red pepper flakes, right?
And, the $64M question, I'd like a little of your expert advice about Chili Powder. That seems to be the key. I've been just buying the big jar of whatever is at Costco (Schilling, maybe?). It tastes fine to me, but I suspect there is a whole world of yumminess that I'm missing. If I'm going to invest the time and emotion necessary to make this a success, I'd like to do it right.
Thanks again. I'm pretty sure there will be beer somewhere in my version.
