You may have noticed that I have been posting pictures of
food with lots hot stuff on it. I happen
to love LOVE hot food and jalapenos are easy to incorporate into your meal
regularly without much thought. Mostly because
you can buy them at most grocery stores, fresh, pickled, chopped, minced,
diced, you name it. I do love many other
of these steamy hot beauties, but admittedly am not adept at preparing them, so
I usually leave it to the professionals and order my food 2x to 5x spicy at
restaurants. 
Chili Peppers are beautiful and elegant in every way, but it’s the smell,
texture and flavor that draws me in and keeps me coming back.
They are so complex and diverse depending on the variety that one could
go mad thinking about the ways to consume them. The heat palettes range from mild to holy shit. You can feel the burn in a different place with each variety; just the tip of
your tongue, the back of your throat, the top of your head, your whole body temperature changes, and the list goes on. One time my eyes felt like they were going to
jump out of my head. God that was a good meal!
I will put hot sauce on anything and eat raw or roasted
chilies plain. I have a theory that I
rarely get sick because I eat so many of them, especially if I feel a cold
coming on because I go right for the Chinese pepper dishes with the freshest, hottest mother fuckers they can find to make my body a hostile environment, a warzone, the fucking black ops to assist my immune system. BAM.
I have read and heard
it said that chilies hold a great deal of vitamin C in them and possess a wide
range of medicinal powers including increasing metabolism, lowering risk of
heart disease and certain cancers when eaten frequently. Check out the links below for your amusement.
But what do I care about that, I just want to eat them
because they taste so freaking good!
