    Banking… how things have changed

    I switched from BofA years back to a small local bank. The small bank was bought out by a bigger bank and issues started to arise. The new bank was bought out by and even bigger bank and suddenly there was fees and issues all around. Switched over to a credit union and haven't had problems.

    Has anyone tried Carolina Reaper Chili Pepper Powder?

    As I sit here snacking on my Habanero BBQ Almonds. I like the hot chilies; however, there is a degree where the Scoville unit is irrelevant. Flavor seems to drop off as the pepper gets "hotter".
