pleasant surprises

[scratchzilla]

I have a fried from California visiting home for thanksgiving. We met up for drinks last night and he brought me a bag of Jolokias fresh from his garden. Finding fresh peppers in Vermont this time of year is tough enough, but ghost chiles is damn near impossible. Needless to say, I was stoked. So stoked in fact, I ate one right there at the bar. Hot stuff!

Anyone else ever happen across surprises like that in their off season? Share your stories here.

A friend brought in a few bhuts to lunch a while ago. Sure, the winter caused tiny pods but it didn't take away from the heat at all.
