Hey thanks! The chart says the upper range for the Tai Reds is 100,000 and the lower range for habaneros is 100,000. Now I don't feel like such a wuss.
I dried and ground some habaneros, in the kitchen, I didn't
touch them had rubber gloves on. burnt my eyelids and face,
major heat.
2nd time put a plastic bag over the grinder, same thing, got
burnt even tho i let the powder sit before bottling.
3rd time put the plastic bag over my head, worked ok, except
they need to be bottled outdoors preferably not down wind.
my cousin calls them peppers from hell.
Sounds like worthy advice to me.
Seems all the hunters will be happy around here - because there are wild turkeys as well!!!
I am now on a mission - my husband WILL attend the required "class" to get his hunting license next year. I look at all the weaponry on the wall every day, and I know what them dang deer (and possibly turkeys) did to my garden this year........I want REVENGE!!!!!!
If not revenge, at least know that what I am eating survived because of what I grew and areally wanted to harvest.
bump
Those that have learned the hard way try to pass on the wisdom (or at least should).........I did it once myself - but only once.
hahaha! I've never tried them before. Not really interested, either.I don't know why, but my body has weird reactions to certain 'hot, spicy' stuff. For example, I can eat a mild onion on occasion that will cause the top of my head to drip with perspiration (SWEAT). It's hard to fathom what is going on. I love the spicy stuff. It just doesn't like me, it appears. :^(
"They will definitely cure a lot of problems with the digestinal tract...particularly hemorrhoids. I know for sure."
What do they do, scare the hemorrhoids away?
Just the thought...shudder...
I've got the real thing drying in my kitchen - how much doyou want me to send you?Send me as much as you would like. My Dad would LOVE it, I'm sure! I've seen steam RUSH outta his ears and sweat flow from his head, and he claims "It's not hot!" I believe him, but what a sight to behold sometimes, lol!
Regarding these Habanero peppers, he claims they ARE hot, btw. If HE says they are hot, they are hot! .....
An ice cube on the tongue puts out the fire, too.
mmmmmm good
Sacrilege
ROTFLOL!! Put a plastic bag over your head?! Hoping to speed death along, were ya??
Just pulling your leg, my FRiend!!!! Just pulling your leg.
but I understand what you are saying.
Right! No chemicals, and grown in at least a foot of rabbit manure! If you like spicy, you need some real organic mustard greens for your salads. Or make your own very hot mustard for that spicy turkey and deer your husband is going to get! I take it, you're a tad north of the Mason-Dixon line? Never had mustard greens!!! The horror!!!
LOL!!! You're dad's a good man.
That's good stuff!!!!!!!
They cauterize them.
I didn't read the article, but what good is a tame habanero..or scotch bonnet, for that matter.
A "tad" north of the Mason-Dixon line? LOL!!!!! I live in Virginia, and lived in lower Delaware (the red part) for 21 years. I left blue NYC in 1982.
All kidding aside, as much as I know I can be called a yankee carpet bagger because of my origins, I can't be called that about what I eat. Except that I've never eaten greens, mustard or otherwise....well spinach is one of my fave's but I don't think you're talking about that as a green.
