Ahoy Mates!   I solicit your taste buds!  Are you hungry for chili?  I hope so, I need you to test my blend.   This is a blend of chile peppers only, it does not include cumin, Mexican oregano or any other spices or herbs.  You will have to incorporate your own thoughts and mixes for that part...

  BurningGut,   Sorry, I was thinking of "chili" as in the food prepared with meat, tomatoes, onions, beans, etc....  WITH hot and spicy peppers. Since you mean peppers as in "chile" peppers in any type of food, I would suspect ulcers or other ailments of the stomach and intestinal lining...

OOPS

BurningGut,   I'd first suspect that you have a severe allergy to some component in the chili.  I doubt that it would be the chile peppers, or the meat, or the tomatoes, or the beans... But, how about FLOUR?  Or some other background ingredient that isn't in most other foods that you consume...

Progress report on my chili seasoning recipe.....   I have been blending and mixing chilies, spices and herbs for a few weeks now, trying to get my recipe balanced to my satisfaction. Through the process of olfactory taste testing, I have snuffed up enough chile powder and spices to make a crock...

Question regarding grinding dried chiles...    Is it recommended to toast the chiles before grinding, if you are going to use them in a recipe right then?   Would it make a difference if you did not use them immediately?  Obviously, if they were not going to be used very soon, I would expect the...

Hott Dude!   You are really on to something keen here....  Seriously.  Yep!  Homemade, I mean REALLY home made, Doo It Yourself....................................................                                 "Red Hot Refried Bubble Bath" Make your whole body sting just like your ring...

D3monic,   Best shipping method (container) I can think of to use would be a heavy duty cardboard tube - one that is just slightly larger in I.D. than your specimen tubes are in O.D. You can order specialty cardboard tubes in bulk that have really thick, rigid and strong sidewalls from a...

  Howdy Cndspice,   I have fished for 'monster' catfish on the Red near Drayton, North Dakota / Robbin, Minnesota.  The Red is an awesome river for big cats!   Gordy the Catfishnut 

The rock tumbler idea was a bit of "necessity is the mother of invention" thing.    Not having a spice grinder I was just going to use the "shake and bake in a bag" mixing method. Then I remembered that I had a brand new - unused rock tumbler and a bunch of these brass balls.  The brass balls...

SmokenFire,   I placed an order for that book you recommended.    Before I joined this forum, I was looking over some literature on herbs and spices, but I couldn't decide which book to purchase. There were many to chose from.  I couldn't really decide.  You gave me the "damn the...

An acquaintance gave me a bottle of his homemade habanero salsa.  I had it in my fridge for a few weeks and when I opened it to use for tacos or something, it was sizzling like sulfuric battery acid on metal.  I pitched it, too. I was thankful that I didn't wait any longer to try to use it...

I have been cooking my steaks FROZEN for 20 years!  They're almost done!  Yaaayyy!   Seriously, I have always cooked my steaks (frozen) over hot charcoal coals using a mix of Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce and Liquid Mesquite Smoke Flavoring to drip over them. You would not believe how...

Hey SmokenFire,   Thanks for tuning in to my thoughts.   Yeah, I agree absolutely regarding record keeping!  I am a electronics engineer and troubleshooter and a metrologist (calibration guy) so I do know the importance of keeping good records. I am also a stickler for proper and highly accurate...

Vodka in a turkey baster.  Works from either end, just be sure to use a different baster for each end.   Rinse and spit (don't swallow the vodka) and if you are on the other end, you need a Vodka bidet!!!   Not a joke.  Alcohol is one of the better solvents for capsaicin.     Treatment after...

Since I am a just a fresh pepper in the garden, I wasn't sure where to post this particular topic.  Hot Talk seemed to be the most "open topic" area.   I am experimenting with creating my own blend of dry chili seasoning mix from chile powders, spices, herbs, dried veggies and other flavorings. ...

Yosef,  I don't think that being new matters any, so I thank you for the welcome and I wish to welcome YOU, too!   Gordy the Catfishnut

  LOL!  and Thanks for the welcome, AJ.  I recognize your picture, BTW...  Saw you whilst I was browsing about the other day looking for chili pepper information. Nice to see you here on this forum.  Kinda makes me comfortable in knowing that I have arrived at the right place.   :dance:

  Ha Ha!  So I'm not the only NUT!  And I thought I was special.  :cheers:

    Joyners,   That is a nice looking Pylodictis olivaris!  That is my favorite fish, by the way.  Best Noodling! ;)   Catfishnut
