Hooray, Tam is back. Barbara Jean has done a great job while you were away but we missed you.
I am sure I have mentioned this before but my family loves hot, spicy foods. We eat foods from many different cultures and often add more spice to them.
This year in my garden I grew two pepper plants which I don't have names for. They were just called garden peppers. I clipped a bunch of them to dry. My son tried one, just the tip mind you, and he declared it to be the hottest pepper he has ever tasted. Oooh. Do tell?
There are some long skinny ones and some little bulbous ones.
I can't wait to cook with these hot babies. A spicy chili. A curry with heat. Some tingling hot Thai. Don't worry, I will warn you if I use them. Oh I don't think I will be using 3 or more of them in anything. Whew.
These colors are sooooooo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLori, what beautiful bounty from your garden. Enjoy! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteThem babies are cayenne's! God's gift to the seasoning world!! I LOVE cayenne! I dry mine then grind to a fine blend - instant cayenne pepper to season everything. In my house - I season darn near everything with cayenne. It's a total man magnet. That's how I entrapped my husband! Did I say entrapped?? SIlly me, I meant woo'ed! Yes woo'ed! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have alway heard the smaller the pepper the hotter it is--those look deadly :) Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! My eyes are watering just thinking about those peppers. I am a total coward when it comes to hot and spicy. In my family, SALT is a spice. And cinnamon? Maybe, but not too much!
ReplyDeleteWell, actually -- by now we will tolerate the milder peppers, but yours look wicked hot. I have two brothers who would love them, though. I think they were adopted.
I love that your tomatoes and peppers are still growing. My tomatoes are valiantly trying to redden up before frost.

I am with Cass,nothing spicy for me..Love the look of them though. Some of my college roomies used to have hot pepper eating contests.
ReplyDeleteI kept score!
I didn't do pumpkins either, Lori! :)
Love your home grown peppers. Indeed, the smaller they are the hotter they get. I love a mild heat in some of my dishes but not too hot because it does not aggree with me. But they are nice dryed too and you can use them to decorate with too.
ReplyDeleteYour chili pictures are great! I'm so impressed that you can get your family to eat hot peppers. WOW!!

Oh my goodness, Lori!.. My eyes are watering just seeing all the hot peppers!!! This is my first time participating in 3 or More Tuesday, and I really am enjoying all the posts today! I look forward to visiting you again soon! ~tina
ReplyDeletelooks like you got a bountiful harvest of goodies
ReplyDeleteThe colors are really vibrant in the chiles. A sure sign they're healthy and spicy! We are chili eaters too. If you like spicy, try the New Mexico Hatch chili. Woo Hoo! Hot but so good!
