I hope you enjoy your jalapenos...

I went shopping today at the commissary for some fruit for the upcoming week. I got halfway down the aisle and almost dropped my basket. Jalapeno peppers were $9.20 a pound. I counted the ones in the package and only came up with eight. I'm a little used to paying a little more for the fresh stuff that can't be shipped over here, but this was crazy. I couldn't help but laugh as I thought back to the summers of picking bowls of these out of the garden, and paying just pennies for the seeds. Looks like no salsa for a while.
