From pierces at cruzio.com Sat Oct 11 22:31:05 2003 From: pierces at cruzio.com (Art Pierce) Date: Sat Oct 11 21:31:22 2003 Subject: [Bach] Red Savina Buy: Last Chance for 2003 Message-ID: <3F88D909.6090809@cruzio.com> Hi ChileHeads (& future chileheads), For anytime after this buy up to the 2004 buy and beyond, Allenlee Pierce, my son, set up a site Friday, 9/19/03 (with freeware) that will help keep track of your orders: Bay Area Red Savinas by Art Pierce http://www.allenlee.com/hotshop/ You'll still need to mail me a check at my address below. ~~~ Warning: Jalapenos are about 5K-50K Scoville Units hot; red savinas are about 300K-500K S. U. hot. http://216.239.53.104/search?q=cache:tvEWWR4mnkIJ:easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~gcaselton/chile/scoville.html+%22scoville+units%22&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/ http://www.viable-herbal.com/herbdesc/1capsicu.htm http://www-ang.kfunigraz.ac.at/~katzer/engl/generic_frame.html?Caps_fru.html http://www.siu.edu/~ebl/leaflets/peppers.htm The hot sensation will (start to) go away on its own in 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your unique individualness. It takes about 3 months of daily chile eating to build up a decent tolerance to the capsaicins <= the hot of chiles. (Let your tolerance lapse and even mild hot sauce will be "strike" you as mildly hot.) Capsaicins are soluble in alcohol and lipids (oils or fats), but not water. So booze is sort of ok for pain relief, but milk, cheese and cream have the requisite lipids AND also, their casein protein is attracted to the same pain receptors as the capsaicins. So after the capsaicin is lifted off the pain receptors by dissolving into the lipids, the casein blocks some of the pain receptor sites so the dissolved capsaicins cannot re-attack. (I prefer vanilla Haagen-Dazs.) If any of you people at SGI, Inktomi, Raycer - or elsewhere - don't want to hear about these annual buys in the future, let me know and I'll take you off this email list. Better yet, if 2 or more at SGI - or elsewhere - do want red savinas, please get one person to handle it & I'll get the red savinas to you through that person. ~~~ On a hard drive crash, I lost my lists of past red savina buyers in 1998=>2001, so please forward this email or tell all your chilehead or potential chilehead friends about this annual red savina buy (especially those of us in Northern California). ~~~ The buy and pick-up: 5-lb. boxes at $15/box. They are charging me $10/5-lb. box. The $1/lb. difference will be for trucking expenses and the remainder will go to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit: California Grey Bears. If you wish, they'll send you a form saying how much you gave to them - that extra $1/lb. - for your IRS tax deduction. Coordinate through our office manager, Pat Brown. She's at 831.479.1055. California Grey Bears is listed at Guidestar: http://www.guidestar.org/controller/searchResults.gs?action_gsReport=1&npoId=173177 Let me know how many 5# boxes you want. People who want less than 5 lbs. can get with friends and get a total of 5 lbs together or contact Scott Ashkenaz or me and we'll try to accommodate you: first come, first serve. Flash Gordon, you're already first - and only, so far - in this sub-5# group. Send checks to me at: Art Pierce 714 Almond Drive Watsonville, CA 95076-3608 831.724.7204 Time for pick-up will be set after all orders are in & paid for. It's beginning to look like pick up will be Sa/Su, 10/18 & 10/19, but will back it off to Sa/Su, 10/25 & 10/26, if there's a flurry of last minute responses to this last email. If a weekend isn't convenient for you, you can come to Grey Bears 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday, Lynn Francis, executive director will take care of you. Pick up will be at the middle cooler at California Grey Bears: 2710 Chanticleer Ave. Santa Cruz, CA 95065-1812 Location Map: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?addtohistory=&country=US&address=2710+Chanticleer&city=&state=&zipcode=95065&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 People for whom Santa Cruz, CA is inconvenient or impossible: I can also Airborne Express (used to be least expensive - I don't know if their prices went up along with their recent DHL merger) you overnight; you do the research and add that to the $15/box. http://www.airborne.com/home/home.asp ~~~ I am using the SpamArrest Challenge/Response email filtering software system, so if you respond by email, for the first time only: you'll have to type in whatever the word is at their site in order to get your email address on the approved list (mass spammers who send out 2,500,000+ at a time don't have the time or software - yet - to overcome individual challenge/responses. And no C/R s/w I know of automatically approves you as ok when I send email to you if you know of C/R s/w that does, please tell me about it. I'm at: Art Pierce Or call me at: 831.724.7204.
