Notes
TIP: If you have rubber gloves, throw those babies on before handling the raw jalapeño peppers as protection from the volatile oils! This is especially important if you wear contact lenses. If not, just be careful not to touch the seeds, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and don't touch your eyes for the next 24 hours.
