My obsession with heat and food...JoynersHotPeppers

I have been a long time lurker and finally joined. I figured I'd start posting some of the things I cook or make with the peppers I grow.

First up

This is a Thai Cucumber salad I make with a rare Japanese cucumber I grow, peppers and cilantro are mine as well. I'll take better pictures with the next batch. I have enough stuff right now to do about 10 more 32oz jars.

A picture of the cucumber plants

Twins, both rubbed down with 2 different rubs and contain my 15 pepper blend.

Lobster roll with previous nights lobster leftovers. Contains one of my pepper blends.

Homemade lump crab cakes with black bean corn salsa I threw together. Cake have my tri-thai blend and 15 blend in the salsa.

Sausage and Peppers, Joyner style.

We picked up some local scallops on our trip through the Eastern Shore. Made a scallop fra diavlo using black prince tomatoes, Thai hot peppers, oregano and basil from the garden. This is an iPhone picture and I took some with other camera but was lazy and didn't use tripod so I'll check to see if they are worth a crap later.

We kept it simply in these parts last night. Good old crispy hot wings and fries.
