    Deconstructed galumpkis for dinner tonight. Good stuff. I’m gonna be farting up a storm later. 
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    Super spicy, or spicy with a few bottles of good sauce?
    Missed this.  So kinda weak on the spice front.  It was for a group, so just used a few jalapenos and some cayenne.  Also, was soft on the hot sauce game given we were at the shore and my fridge isn't completely stocked there yet.

    Just some extra jalapenos on top with Tabasco.

    I was inspired to make some Chili Non Carne (my month long pescatarian kick ends on Friday....I am going to fuck up some wings) on Sunday and it was mild.  Added some habanero slices and hot sauce when serving and that shit was great. 
    Gassed the house all day, into yesterday.  The gift that keeps on giving!

    Ordered some 'Exhorresco' hot sauce after seeing the Hot Ones lineup reveal last week.  Looking forward to trying -- since it wasn't on the Heatonist site it was nice and cheap.

    Delicate squash!  So good!
    I don't have any markets around that sell it and I haven't found any plants at my greenhouses in a few years.  Going to have to start my own from seed this year because miss delicata and Hubbard.

    Holy crap!  Spot #9 in the new season of Hot Ones is frigging blazing.  
    Exhorresco!
    Some of you crazy spice heads would love it but this is going to last a long time in my fridge.

    ^^ That shit grows on a fool.  Followed up with heavy doses w/dinner the next few nights.  Very hot, but a different hot, and it goes away fairly quickly.  (Although it is felt "on the way out" lol)

    Will try to pop a pic tonight -- ending my month long 'pescatarian' kick in style.  Old Homestead Steakhouse @ the Borgata.  Gotham Rib Eye 34 oz?  Not sure if I can handle that, may go for a bacon app and 10 oz filet.  Save room for beer.

    Oh, fuck yeah.  Broke that streak with style
    Bacon, clams casino, giant shrimps, (3) 18 oz filets, and a four pound lobster for our table of four.

    Visited my parents today. Mom rolled out a straight up Thanksgiving turkey dinner with carrot cake to cap it off.  I’m uncomfortably stuffed.

    Sweet (and hot!), thanks C.
    Look forward to using this sparingly.  :lol:  
    I have to say, I continue to use the Exhorresco and just love it.  Does not stay with me like the other true hot sauces.  If you order, order directly as it was cheaper.

    I harvested my only peppers of the year last night, 10 scotch bonnets, 7 super chili's, and 3 Carolina reapers...so very sad to lose 50 plants too late to replace them.
    I used a sharp fork to pierce them all and threw them in the dehydrator...I did the reapers last and I licked the fork just to see how that would be. 
    It was hot lol 
    I like that the reapers don't linger, I get about 10 seconds of exotic and unique flavor, and then a very sharp heat for about ten minutes.  Sharp like a very hot pepper that's still green, but still with depth like a fully mature pepper. 
    The "Mexican" chilis really linger, an extra hot poblano or jalapeno can leave me burning and tingling for a solid half hour or longer.

    And yes, poblanos and jalapenos can be very hot!  I dry farm, while that significantly decreases overall yield, fruit size and flavor intensity is increased, which means hotter peppers.  Dry-farmed poblanos are a wonderful pepper, the green flesh is almost as mild as a bell pepper with seeds and membranes as hot as hot jalapenos.  Let it mature to full red and it is sweet as a bell with heat all throughout that resembles a good hot jalapeno.  Very versatile.
    Jalapenos...Rome jalapenos grown dry farm style compare with milder Cayennes, in my experience.

    Poblanos are my favorite pepper and a grilled poblano as a side for a nice steak is one of my favorites. They can pack some heat, but it is fairly rare in our area

    The sushi place where we were regulars in CA (every Friday night, 7:30 seating @ sushi bar w/Masa-san!) saw us having a jalapeno/yellowtail combo in some form every week.  Masa would always try to get creative, but these are two things that go together well.  The trick was that about once a month the jalapenos would be very hot.  Was always a 'what am I going to get here?' feeling when you popped them in.
    Sorta like Cliffy's pepper pot he shared a while ago. 

    Have you ever taken a big bit out of a reaper?

    I have 4 reapers between 2 plants and they just started growing a couple weeks ago.  I'm not sure they'll mature before it freezes.  37 here tomorrow night and the the day before last was likely the last warm day we'll have this year.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up, they are very slow to mature.  Did you grow in pots?  You could bring them in and out and that should work.
    If the peppers are mature but still green you can encourage them along by taking a spade and slicing down about 6 inches in a circle around the plant around 5 inches away from the stem.  That should sever the roots enough to shock the plant into prioritizing fruit ripening above all else.

    Will be trying the quadruple dab at wing night this evening.
    As for the Reduxx, I really like the flavor. It's sweet, but not as fruity as the other three. I'm assuming that's the chocolate pepper X flavor profile dominating. It has more of a velvety smoothness to it.  The heat doesn't seem nearly as intense to me, but I also think my tolerance has increased a good bit recently.  A buddy of mine also got a bottle and he thinks it's just as intense as the others.

    Just saw the mail dude bring up a package and was hoping it was this shipment.
    Nope, more posters!
