Hello pals.
I'm a young web developer by vocation and sound engineer by education. I live in the glorious molten city of Phoenix. I play a lot of video games, and like to think about doing things that I will probably never do. I also have a great affinity for hot peppers, although I assure you I'm nowhere near as educated on the topic as the rest of you. Teach me!
I eat a ton of spicy food, yet I consider myself fairly inexperienced. A few months ago I got some dried + smoked bhut jolokias and even some of the raw flakes as a seasoning, but honestly I hate the flavor. I keep scarfing them down for the heat, however. I've also tried CaJohn's Trinidad Moruga Scorpion hot sauce, and it has instantly become my favorite hot sauce. I'm not sure if it's the pepper that he puts in it or what, but it's DELICIOUS. If it isn't that pepper that gives that hot sauce its remarkable flavor, I'd have to say that my favorite thus far is, and don't judge me, the jalapeno. Okay, fine, go ahead and have your laughs. It's just so tasty!
About the same time I got that hot sauce and learned that the Trinidad Moruga earned the new record for highest SHU rating, my wife began trying to grow tea plants (she loves tea). It inspired me, and I decided to join her in trying to grow my own pepper plants. Since then, I've been struggling with this current short line-up:
Anyways, as I was saying... hello!
