How can I store the seeds until next summer?

I have some seeds for chili peppers. I guess it is too late to plant them now. How can I store them until next summer?

You could try and plant some and grow them inside in a container they look beautiful indoors. Hot pepper seeds have a low germination rate Save as many as you can. Put them in a ziplock baggie and store them in a dry dark place.

I am trying something new this year so I can't say for sure it will work. I can't remember the book (which is going to drive me crazy now) but it said after the seeds are dry place them in a small jar along with a TBS or more of powdered milk give it a good shake to cover the seeds and then store in the refrigerator until next year.
I am trying this with a few different tomatoes and squashes, can't hurt to try right.

it would be very interesting to try this with some seeds and not with others - sort of a control group - I would love to know your results next spring.
