Notes: Gramma Nadine was an Amazing woman... a firecracker if there ever was one... This is another of those cherished food memories I have as a child that is still a favorite to this day... as a matter of fact, this is how I became a Chili Head thanks to my sister playing a joke on me in the kitchen with the aforementioned Jalapenos that my grandpa and grandma were always growing alongside the house. She said "here bite into this" I was maybe 7 or 8 years old at the time..grandma had just finished making these beans and there were Jalapenos on the counter, my Sissy said "no it won't be Hot try It" so dummy me took a huge chunk of fresh Jalapeno pepper a whole mouthful of a bite..... needless to say, it was unforgettable if not painful moment then and later..as I would learn. But after that, I learned to love Chilis... Thank you, Sissy...and Thank you, Grandma Nadine, for such Amazing food and memories.
