WASHINGTON - Government inspectors finally have a big clue in the nationwide salmonella outbreak: They found the same bacteria strain on a single Mexican-grown jalapeno pepper handled in Texas — and issued a stronger warning for consumers to avoid fresh jalapenos.

This news put a little damper on my whole “I am a Chili Pepper” motto. All the sudden, it’s “I am a killer Chili Pepper”…. bummer.

Oh well… avoid Jalapeños for now I guess. I am sure in a week they will blame it on something else.
