himalayan insane asylum peppers
the title of this thread deals with a simpsons episode, if you haven't seen it, i pity you.
anyway, i made crappie pizza last night! it was great (one of them anyway) mindy made the dough from scratch and then we topped them with things and pan seared the fish then flaked it on and baked. flavor spread out really well. the one that wasn't so great...
one of my hot peppers tried to kill me!!! i guess this one devils tongue habanero was trying to make a name for himself or something and came really close to sending me to the hospital. i have eaten 60-70 of those peppers since i started growing them in april and they were never that intensly hot. the pain was mind blowing and my heart wouldn't stop thumping, oh, and i'm pretty certain my actual hair was sweating, that lasted for at least an hour because i ate two pieces. then i went to sleep with horrible stomach pain.
being me, i couldn't let that pepper beat me, so i ate the rest of the pizza for lunch today. with most of my tongue already burnt off, it didn't hurt quite as bad, and no stomach pain. never had any afterburn (if you know what i mean)
so in conclusion, make crappie pizza and remember, no matter how hot it is, it can't kill you!!!
