BTW, if you or hubby ever bite into a pepper that's just too hot, the best remedy in the world is neither water nor beer, but buttermilk. Or just a pat of butter right on the tongue.

Capsaicin and its chemical cousins are not soluble in water and only slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol -- but readily dissolve in fat. They're related to the B vitamins, which if you've ever wondered are classed together because they are fat-soluble.
