Volcanic fire



My chile pepper and tomato seedlings arrived from New Jersey this morning. Gotta love the internet. One of the chile pepper seedlings is called "Devil's Tongue." Oooooo... Ironically, today I harvested the very first tiny malformed chocolate habanero pepper- from the seedling I bought from the very same place last year. This year, I hope to avoid the skunk and sprinkler system disasters that plagued my backyard last summer. First mutant chard, now mutant habanero peppers. There's something strange happening back there.



Chicken Vesuvio with artichoke hearts. Charred and firey hot like Mt Vesuvius. I added the entire tiny malformed chocolate habanero pepper. A very distinctive taste. Sweet and pruney in the beginning, building up to a spicy kick at the back of the throat. Eye opening. Such a unique taste. It's spicy that tells a story.
