Laredo,

You got a picture of that?

That's another hobby of mine. Taking pictures of my food creations. Snowing in Texas? Try this...



or this...


You'll notice that neither one has chunks of habenaro floating around in there, like your Endorphin Chili does!

Wow, Mike! Those look great. I just finished breakfast, but you've got my mouth watering again.

I just got a new camera - maybe I should take pix of some of my dishes, too. Since I am toying with the idea of producing a dutch oven cookbook, the pix might come in handy.

BTW, I have at least two dozen recipes for dutch oven chile. I've only tried about three of them.

Italian wedding soup?
Wow. From scratch, even.

um, Mike?
what a molcajete leaves isn't chunks ...

Oh is that what it's called? And here I thought it was chicken meatball soup!

Yea, I knew that, but it sounded good!

[Laredo]

so are you gonna share your recipe?

chicken soup with meatballs and spinach is Italian wedding soup, right?

[mikeschn]

Endorphin Chili:
If you want it hot enough to raise blisters on the roof of your mouth, grind one habanero pepper to paste in a mortar and pestle and stir into the chili, then simmer additional 15 minutes.

Laredo,

How are your peppers doing? Mine look like they are going to be huge!

Remember, if it doesn't burn twice, it's not hot enough.

In Britain, we have become very fond of Indian food - which can be as hot as any food on earth. One very popular style of Indian cooking is Tandoori, where meat is marinaded and then slow-cooked in a clay oven.

Naturally, like any hot food, you know it was hot the next morning. We now have a name for this - a 'Tandoori ringer'.

You, of course, have that nice Johnny Cash song ".....And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire....."

one way to solve that problem is to swallow a few marbles while you eat. next morning you will at least have a bit of a splash for cool down.
