Lots of green #chilies on my plants. But today I spotted a first red one! Yay! Thx to @Guy_VO's blog posts 😃.

These Pequin pepper plants are really enjoying the extreme temps in the low deserts of the southwest. #chili #chilli #chilis #chilihead #chilipepper #capsaicin #chilies #chilipepperplant

Final batch of seeds started last night. Good luck. #gardening #zone6b

- Tray 1: tomatoes (Isis candy cherry, Amish paste)
- Tray 2: tomatoes (gold medal, Cherokee purple)
- Tray 3: #chilies (Thai, Rocoto red, ají amarillo, cayenne, jalapeño, Serrano)
- Tray 4 (not pictured, all saved seeds): chilies (Fresno, guajillo, piccante calabrese, ancho, habanero, shishito)
- Tray 5: eggplant (bride, purple shine); cucumber (early fortune); chilies (tiger skin); bitter melon (Indian, Chinese)

Ají amarillo is the first early-early chili seeds (February 5) to pop up. Also the Rocoto red and Serrano seeds have popped up. Ají amarillo and Rocoto red were from new seed packets, and Serrano was from a chili from the grocery store, so I'm not surprised they're the first to wake up. Going to start some more, on the normal cycle, this weekend. #gardening #chilies

Starting some early chilies: cayenne, piccante calabrese, ancho, habanero, shishito, fresno, guajiro, 虎皮椒, rocoto red, ají amarillo, Thai, Anaheim. I'll start some others that will go into the ground later, but these will likely go into pots on the deck. #gardening #chilies

Leftover veggie lo-mein with Momofuko soy sauce. Let me tell you this sauce is rich and delicious. And their chili crunch is good too. Nice flavor of shallots at the end. I could probably eat spicier, but then again, I grew up eating raw green chilies (and still do, except for some LETHAL ones I accidentally grew in the garden.)

I have no connection to Momofuku. Just sharing. Because yum.

Hot sauce thoughts 👇🏽

I love spicy foods. I'm not a total chili head to the point where EVERYTHING needs to be spicy, but I generally dig the heat. My love of spicy foods started with Mexican food. Then later in life I discovered other foods that could bring the heat.

Indian food. Hotter versions of Cajun stuff. Jamaican food. Thai.

So... what about Buffalo Wings?
I like them, but I find the standard sauce for them a bit Meh. A lot of "traditional" wing intended sauce is basically some peppers but huge on vinegar. I'm not a fan of that on wings!

I find that I prefer hot sauces that have characteristics beyond Hot plus Tangy.
When I can afford Buffalo Wild Wings, I never order standard Buffalo sauce. Jamaican jerk, mango habanero or spicy garlic are way more interesting.

I think if I could design my ideal hot wing sauce it would cross the characteristics of an Indian curry base with tropical fruit notes. Punjabi vacation in the Bahamas in a bottle, basically.

Every time I see how chili heads describe the feeling of really spicy food I wanna know how someone on an LSD trip would experience a hot wings gauntlet or something similar.

I’m preparing chili water for my holiday gifts—basically a Mauian condiment. Chilies and garlic from our garden, then just vinegar, water and salt. More vinegar than is traditional because it has to be shelf stable. But it’s so good! #peppers #chilies #foodgifts

Here goes nothing with my #introducton

I am a #USA expat permanently living in the #uk.

Formerly from #wisconsin I am a fan of the #greenbaypackers and a lover of #beer and #homebrewing.

As soon as my back stops giving me issues I will return to #fencing #epee. Since moving to #Shropshire I have started playing #dnd again and am really loving it. I have a classic #pontiac #firebird that is my pride, joy and money pit. Avid #gardener and a lover of #chilies. I am a #devops engineer on #linux.

Tomorrow we will clean out the #Greenhouse for the winter. That usually means harvesting all the #Chilies we've been growing in there and then making #ChiliSauce.

Turns out we still have 20 or so jars of last years sauce!
Still delicious and deadly #hot. So I guess we will dry them instead.

Anyone has other ideas?

(If you find yourself in #Aalborg PM me for a free jar)
