Much as I like grilled stuffed peppers, I'll have to pass on these.

Always give the monks at St. Bernard a box full of hot as I can grow. They'll go thru the chow line and pick a pretty red or orange pepper..... after one bite realize they have to clean their plates. One of the monks told me they have a lot of fun with the extremely hot peps.:eek:

Shooting for a tomato in the first week of June.... they're setting fruit now!

Over the years I have grown Jalapeno, Serrano, Thia Hot, Chili Petine, Scotch Bonnet, and Peter Peppers. I appreciate the flavor nuances of various varieties and growing conditions. In my 60s I pretty much stick with Jalapenos, and I consume quite a few of them. In my opinion going above Habanero in heat scale to Ghost Paper has more to do with pain than flavor. Kind of like banging your head on an anvil to prove your head is hard.
 
I haven't had persimmon puddin' since I left NC in '79.

A late freeze whacked the Japanese persimmon tree last year.... it's fixing to bloom bright yellow flowers and produce several hundred fruits ( produced a total of 8?fruit last year) never had persimmon pudding but, good guy willing and the creek don't rise
I'll mail you plenty of persimmons....

I found some chile sauces I like a lot. They're from The Fresh Chile Co. in New Mexico. The red is made with fresh, not dried, NM Hatch chilis. The green is made with fresh green Hatches plus chunks of roasted green chilis. I haven't tried their red-green mixture yet, but the red and green are delicious. You can get them in Mild, Hot, or Extra Hot. The hot is fine for me, a bit hotter than sriracha. The red is especially good on eggs or beans.

My sister used to make a wonderful sauce with Habaneros and Serranos that she calls "Salsa Nuestra Señora de Santa Caca". Lethal, but delicious. Now the fumes as it cooks throw her into asthma attacks, so she hasn't made it for some time.

I don't know if I'm a freak or just a very lucky old guy, but I don't seem to have the dreaded "Ring Of Fire" afterburner effect from eating hot stuff.

I grew the Carolina Reaper peppers last year. They are delicious. For tacos and chili I put in a lot and it makes it hot. Great flavor. Made spaghetti tonight. Put in just enough pepper to let you know it is there. I got a few more plants that just sprouted but it will be a couple weeks before I move them outside.
 
Years ago I was competing in the PA State Chili Cookoff on City Island in Harrisburg. One of the prizes was for the hottest chili. One guy reportedly pureed habenaro peppers all year long to put in his chili. He won the prize for the hottest chili, and I heard that the vote for his chili was unanimous. I tasted a sample of his chili and I would testify in court that it burned every inch of my digestive tract.
