The lovely [livejournal.com profile] redzshadow visited today with the darling Ms. Jazz. We went out for coffee and chatted and visited SammySnacks. Maya also brought us tons of vegetables, which I promptly portioned out and shared with [livejournal.com profile] ez_mo (she wasn't home when we stopped by earlier). I have long beans, lemon cukes, yellow tomatoes, cherry tomatoes (gave most of those to Ali, as I have my own), zucchini, green peppers, tons of jalapenos, tons of banana peppers.

About those banana peppers. I'm accustomed to sweet, mellow banana peppers. These are a bit more like yellow wax peppers. Maya, are you being devious again?

[livejournal.com profile] explodingcat got chile burn on his hands. He has one hand that has some constant issues--rough and irritated. Not realizing that banana peppers *can* be a bit hot, he shredded four with his bare hands and a knife. And he's been whimpering ever since. Alcohol, vinegar, soap, milk, tomato juice--nada. Soaking in cold milk and ice water helped some, as did a first gen antihistamine (CNS depressant). I don't have chlorine bleach, or I'd have dunked his hands in it. This makes the earlier conversation about kvetch-t-ables even funnier.

On the other hand, the dish he put them in is quite good--chicken with fresh tomatoes, banana pepper, vidalia onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and marsala wine.

I had one of those "banana" peppers tonight as well...um...I think they cross pollinated with the jalapenos! I am so sorry! I had no idea until I took a big bite of salad and BAM...spicy! I thought I had grabbed out of the wrong bag but not they seem to be really hot.

They're really tasty. Boy just didn't realize there was a hot variety of banana pepper. I didn't realize he was chopping them without gloves. Yummy peppers.

Hey, I just found out that those green peppers that are longer looking are also not green peppers. They are hot as hell...be careful around those too.
