Looks like utter crap to me. ( from the trailer)

Thanks for the pix everyone! This is not a very good picture ( from my phone) and it's still a work in progress but here's a detail showing one of the nagas... I'll post better pics when more progress has been made....

I've seen other stars that do that but not Betelgeuse. I'm also curious as to what causes that effect.

Brisket and Pork Butt ( pulled pork). Love me some ribs, chicken and sausage on there too!

I am happy to report that after sending my RECON 1 ( tanto tip... yeah!) knife to Cold Steel they repaired it and sent it back to me at NO CHARGE. That, my fiends, is GREAT customer service. VIVA COLD STEEL! It's once again at my side where it belongs.

Co-signed with the above. Grind it more (maybe a blender is better) and cook it and leave the solids in there. Yeah, xanthan gum will help prevent separation. The lager gourmet grocery stores should carry it. Keep it in the fridge. If plenty of vinegar it should last a year or more... if kept...

NJA, Very cool blog. I love Indian cooking and will be a repeat visitor!

Yeah, I think 24 hour retarded dough is the commercial standard. Unfortunately I seldom think that far in advance! Steve, ever try that "00" flour? Makes real crispy dough.

Nah, it's sort of a cheat; a dash of vinegar mimics the sourdough flavor but it's not a true Levain. That requires keeping and feeding a "mother" which has to be done everyday. My larger point is that the longer the sponge and dough ferments the better the dough will taste. To me, good pizza...

I"ve been using "00" flour instead of high gluten and I like the results! Actually 2/3 "00" and 1/3 semolina makes a nice crispy crust. One trick I do since I dont have a stone is to slide the pizza off the pan about halfway through and finish it on the oven rack. Crisps up real nice!

Looks like you really know how to make good pizza Steve. I recently posted something similar here that has detailed instructions for making dough.

These pix are freaking me out! My crop SUCKED this year. Goddamned drought/heatwave.

That last one is a winner! :cheers:

Thanks Quad! I'm especially hoping for shots showing the "tri-color" Naga/Bhuts 'cause I think that will look rad inked on my flesh!

I'm in the process of getting a rather elaborate tattoo that will have a few Naga chiles featured prominently. The outline has already been done but for color and shading reference I'd like to see some of the very best UP CLOSE photos of your Naga/Bhut chiles. This will help the artist greatly...

Here be the horror.... I think I posted this last year but here it is again for my chilehead friends. This is my own version of those Halloween "Scary Sounds" records we all used to listen to as kids. It's a 23 minute track. I recommend burning to a CD and playing on "repeat" for your...

Welcome. I had good luck with the Lemon Drops this year too. Just about the only ones that actually thrived during the wretched summer heat.

Welcome! Good to see more Texans on here; the damn Aussies were about to take over!

I'd rather just not drink beer than drink light beers. Lager-flavored water. Yuck. Jay, I think it was something from lagunitas or dogfish head.

I tried another ginger flavored beer from ah, I think the brewery is Bar Harbor or something like that. I wasn't bad but not something I'd want to drink very often, and I am a fan of ginger beerr/ale ( great with whisky!) We get most of Left Hand's beers down here in Texas but I've never seen...
