Reason # 1756 that there is somehting fundimentally wrong with me: Habenero's are not hot, now, dorset naga's (ghost peppers), those are hot.

Most peppers have a problem of that they are not unique in their flavor, so many taste so similiar that they are all just meh. Habeneros are fantastic peppers, they have a wonderfully unique, distinctive and unmistakable flavor. No other pepper tastes like them.

I'll use them in damn near anything I can get away with using them in.

Here, something mild to start you out with - Alton Brown's Habenero-Pineapple ice cream topping:
Ingredients
1 can pineapple chunks
1 habanero pepper, minced
4 fresh mint leaves, cut into chiffonade
1 cup corn oil
2 large corn tortillas, cut into wedges
1 cup sugar and cinnamon mixture
Directions

In a small saucepan, combine pineapple chunks, habanero pepper, and mint leaves. Simmer for 5 minutes. Cool thoroughly and remove mint.

In a large saute pan, bring 1 cup of corn oil to 325 degrees F. Add wedges of corn tortillas and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Liberally dust warm corn wedges with sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Serve pineapple salsa over ice cream with the fried corn tortillas.

Wonderfully distinctive and because of the ice cream, all but the most sensitive of eaters can handle it and still be able to enjoy the wonderful flavor of the habenero.
