Chiltepín is a native chile that produces small, round peppers atop large, highly branched plants.  Sometimes known a Tepín or bird chile, the chiltepin pepper forms a dense shrub that can be found growing wild throughout parts of the southwestern United States, Central and South America, and the Carribean.  It is best known for its tiny, round peppers.  In fact, the name "chiltepin" is a compound of the Nahuatl word for "flea" and "chile", an accurate description given the tiny size of its peppers.  Don't be fooled by their diminutive stature, though, these chiles pack a powerful punch as our children discovered just after these pictures were taken (scroll for a good story).  Chiltepin are most often dried and used to make a variety of sauces and seasonings, though they can also be used fresh to make very hot salsa (50,000 to 100,000 Scoville.)  The Chiltepin pepper matures approximately days after transplant.  Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.

Sillyheads, Not Chiliheads

Photo shoot days are always long.  In a matter of hours, we need to harvest, prep, stage and photograph around 30 heirloom varieties.  And since almost all of our shoots occur in the hour leading up to sunset, known by photographers as the golden hour, it usually means that dinner's going to be late.  Not a problem—we'll soon have a whole table of produce to snack on.  Dinner solved!  Or at least, that's the plan.

Shortly after these pictures were taken, our 6-year-old, thinking they were Texas Tiny tomatoes, grabbed a chiltepin pepper from the table and popped it in her mouth.  Now, if you've read the description above, you already know that the chiltepin is a very hot pepper, around 40 times hotter than a jalapeno.  This is not a good situation.

Well, to make matters worse, we soon found out that our 2-year-old, ever-aiming to emulate his big sister, had done just the same.  And so, before we knew it, we had two children running to the house crying, screaming, and dry heaving.   Once inside, I suggested the oldest drink some milk to calm the burn and then turned my attention to the toddler.  When I returned to check on her, I realized she had drank half-a-gallon of milk!  You can imagine what happened next. 

I'm not going to fully elaborate on the full extent of this chaotic scene, except to add that the 2-year-old was born with a cow's milk allergy.  Although he had, by this time, outgrown the allergy, he's never loved milk.  Nope, this child only nurses.  Looks like we're all going to be in this together.

In the end, it all worked out.  Well, after an hour or so of chaos.  And I think the kids learned an important lesson about eating things which they cannot positively identify.  Or at least we can hope.

Needs work
Size: 12, Color: Black
I’m disappointed that I spent almost 400$ on a pair of boots and wore them for 3 days and both boot laces broke near the eyelets. As a wildland firefighter I need to be able to rely on my boots.

Like all Asics I've owned - Good
Size: 12 X-Wide, Color: Steel Grey/Cloud Grey
I've worn Asics for about 35 years now. Every pair I've had, and there have been many, have fit well and gotten the job done. The Gel-Venture 11 are performing as expected which is very well. The cushioning and support in the heel and arch are excellent. Very comfortable to walk and run in these shoes. Finally, and less importantly, the looks are just OK. The cheap "iron on" Asics logo doesn't look good. I've been purchasing Asics for as long as I have strictly for the performance quality anyway.

Nice, sturdy trail running and walking shoes
Size: 9.5, Color: Midnight/Grey Blue
I like Asics athletic shoes. They consistently fit my feet quite well. These shoes seem sturdy and have good grippy tread, ideal for light hiking, trail running and general every day use. Comfortable. My only gripe about Asics is the tread on previous shoes seems to wear out quickly. I walk and hike about 35-40 miles a week and the past Asics I’ve had usually lose their rear tread after six months so maybe that is normal.

Very comfortable
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Cool Grey
Awesome shoe, very comfortable. As a trail shoe it is a little firmer than a running sneaker as expected. The unexpected was the comfort the shoe provided. Nice looking as well. I've been wearing against most of my life. Always find myself coming back to them when I tried other brands. Size consistency has always been near perfect.

Better than expected.

Very comfortable fit. They work extremely well for golf too. Could be advertised as a golfing shoe as well.
