The super insanely hot pepper
This was my second pepper that I had of the super insanely hot kind. My boss grows his own peppers and other things in his garden. He brings in peppers for us... now most of the peppers are regular chili's looking peppers. I can handle these no prob. I put them in taco's and things of that nature. I also make pasta's and such and add them to stir fries. They add a small kick to the cookin.
Well... there's a second pepper that's about 5 times hotter than the other one. Now the other one is about as hot as the hottest salsa you can get at baja fresh (just to give you an idea). So imagine 5 times hotter than that!
It's hot.
Really. REALLY... hot type of hot.
This was the second one I attempted. The first one I put in a chicken wrap and whoaaaaaaa it was HOT! This time I decided to cook it in hopes that it would maybe not be as hot if I cooked it before eating it (I ate the last one raw).
It was just as hot. Cooking had no effect.
Well so tonight I made a stir fry and chopped this bad boy up and put it in. It was good... my boss calls them the commando peppers. Because as he likes to say anything over the top is the commando version. And if you are going to do anything at all... you might as well do it up right and go all the way! So if you have a choice for anything... go commando! It's kinda like the "Go big or go home phrase"... well these peppers are the over the top version for sure. They are the hottest of any pepper i've ever had.
I know I know, usually when you think commando you think...

that's what I thought at first too... but it's not that... it just means it's the super spectacular crazy version of things.
Anywho my dinner was good with this super super super hot pepper spice in it. Eating it involves having like one of those jogging sweat bands on though...
(that's the dude from the movie The Royal Tenenbaums)
That was kinda like me before my first bite with the sweat band ready to go... like... that sorta face where you are kind of like... ok... I don't know about this... that look of... hmmm... it kinda looks like he's got some trepidation... did a few stretches... had to mentally prepared for it.
Yea that was me... but once you start eating the insanely hot pepperness of a stir fry you just gotta work through it till it's over.
So that was the before face when I'm just like should I eat this? yes.
And this is the face as I'm eating...
That's about right.
The pepper stir fry also included some broccoli and pasta and other spices and a sweet turkey sausage sauted and then chopped up... and some other little veggies...
It was darn good! I enjoy cooking... one of my fav fav things is to cook with someone, or for someone... but that doesn't happen too often.
Well it was a pretty productive night... aside from the pepper eating I also did laundry and I worked on some vocal tracks for my new song which is sounding pretty awesome if I do say so myself! I also tweaked my little makeshift recording area so now it works a lot better for me to record. I've been moving things around over and over again ever since I moved in and still hadn't found the right spot in my apartment to record. I think i'm set now.
Anywho that's about it for me! I'm gonna get to bed. It's Friday tomorrow! Woo hoo... I don't have any plans for the weekend, i'm supposed to work saturday but that's about all I got for now. I'm kinda sad because I think karaoke might not happen this saturday night from this whole hurricane thing that's blowin' in! We'll see... we'll see. Well if this hurricane gets out of control like it's supposed to I hope everyone stays safe and dry and all that good stuff!
