Um....... He seems to have raised his prices a bit  :eek: .  

So - for the heck of it - I ordered a box of peppers from Baker's via ebay. I know the history, I just wanted to see what would happen. Would I get any peppers? Would they be in good shape? I figured I was pretty well protected by ebay in case of any problems. Here's my report:   I chose an SFRB...

If I eat a good number of superhots in a single day - around 6 or so - this happens to me.    I've gotten used to it. 

He's selling fresh pods via ebay now, with his usual hyperbolic marketing. So far, he seems to have decent feedback.   So far.

Horrible news from ajdrew: http://www.peppersbymail.com/our-farm-is-gone/      

I have heard that lard sanwiches, sometimes with sugar, were popular in the old days with the lumberjacks working in northern Maine. Quick energy for a physically demanding job.   I've got a liking for superhot peppers with ice cream. The fat of the ice cream knocks the burn level way down, so...

OK, this is kind of a long one, but I swear that it is true :halo: :   So it must have been what, 2007? 2008? The ghost pepper (Bhut jolokia) was still pretty new at that point (well, the people in northern India had known about them for many many years, but the outside world had just...

When I have fresh superhot pods on hand (I don't grow, so I have to purchase from people who do) I will eat 2 to 4 pods a day, maybe a couple more if the pods are small. I far prefer fresh pods to sauces or dried peppers. But when the superhots aren't around, I go through what has been called by...

Best wishes to you, and may you have a swift and smooth recovery.

I tried a bottle of Foo Foo Mama Choo about a year, year-and-a-half ago. Nice taste - if I recall correctly, it had a fair amount of ginger in it - but rather disappointing on the burn side. I never reordered.

I've never gotten a headache from hot peppers, in fact it's the opposite for me. I get sinus headaches off and on, and a nice bit of spiciness tends to get rid of them. Decongestants of various types don't work (in fact they usually make the headache worse), but fresh hot peppers or a couple of...

I  just received what I guess is my last ajdrew/PeppersByMail box for the season. Unless the high tunnel still has something growing that survived the frost, maybe?   Anyway, it's a nice box of assorted Scorpions, including Trinidad Red, Trinidad Yellow, the mighty Moruga Red, a couple of Butch...

  Yeah, the Dave's Original is bitter and nasty-tasting, but the extract-free Scorpion Sauce is very tasty and pretty damn hot. It's one of my favorites.   I first had Dave's Original back in the 90's, it sure was hot for its day.

I just received another box from ajdrew, tightly packed with all kinds of hot goodness. The man grows mighty fine peppers  :party: .  

Just got my first box of the season from ajdrew - a sampler box with some nice goodies, a couple of which I haven't had before (white 7-Pot and white Fatalii). Already chomped down a Naga Morich, and I'll be making a Trinidad Scorpion pizza later tonight. Thanks for the great peppers!   Please...
