Pepperken

Biography: Was born, did a bunch of stuff, wound up 65 years old and don't know what happened, just last week I was 20. People tell me they remember the 60's but all of us that were there can tell you it's all just a blur, very hazy blur. You can literally track my movements back then by the trail of glowing brain cells I left. Vietnam Veteran USMC (joined Vietnam Vets Against the War as soon as I got out), grew lot's of hair, inhaled, read the Tibetan Book of the Dead, saw Timothy Leary at the U of M. Listened to lots of Beatles. Lived in LA for 14 years with lot's of Chicano friends who introduced me to hot sauces and Menudo on Sunday morning.

Share a Recipe: VitaMix original recipe for a Margarita with some tweaks:
To the 70oz container add 6oz Hornitos la Plata, 3oz Grand Marnier, one Gold Habanero (take off the stem, but leave whole), meat of one ripe Mango, 1/4 Cup raw sugar plus two teaspoons, 6 cups of Ice cubes and 1/4 cup water. Turn on, turn to 10 then flip the High speed switch and blend for 40 seconds. Quite spicy and delicious.
We like to drink this while eating our favorite Hors d'oeuvre the Dragon Toes (from one of the "Heat Seekers" shows, we make a vegetarian version).
