I've been delinquent. Here is a recipe that I served at the 1st Tokyo
HotLuck. (Adapted from the Habanero Cookbook by DeWitt & Gerlach)

Lime-habanero dressing: Mix it all together, and allow to sit at room
temperature for at least 1 hour. (Side note: I drank some of the water
that the habs were rehydrating in. (Can you say stupid?) INSTANT BURN!
Yeowch! And then it instantly went away.)

Salad: Combine the stuff. Add dressing. Toss until coated. Sprinkle the
coconut & mint over the top. (Side note: the musk melon was not one of
those famous US$80 melons that you've all heard about. This one was only
US$15.)

It was great watching people taste this insidious dish. Cool, sweet,
soothing, and then BLAM. The reaction is to have some more to cool it down.
