My fave spice shop just informed me that they carry habanero pepper flakes. I placed an order for a pound of red pepper flakes and in my confusion of precisely what I was ordering their rep Eric told me they have habanero pepper flakes too, which at first I said "OK those" but then Eric emailed me back and said habanero pepper flakes were like $26/lb! Ouch! I reverted my order to a pound of the old standby, red pepper flakes.

Anyone ever use habanero pepper flakes before? Maybe I should get a lb, dunno. One could certainbly kick stuff up a few notches with those puppies! :-)
