not toxic, just generic hot. I did the same amount of milds on Saturday - they had good flavor and aroma but no heat at all - probably use those for gifts. LOL

these "hot" are just spicy, not dangerous

weird, I wrote that my favorite thing to do with these is mix them with fried potatoes and onions and some crumbled bacon for breakfast.

I would go buy some new, you don't even want to think about what they did with it.

so they are fine other than cramping from doing that for hours

Worth a trip to Arizona, New Mexico, etc just for the fresh autumn chilies!

these weren't that hot but I swear the hotest peper I ever ate was just a green (anahiem) OMG anatomy of digestive tract lesson. I knew every inch of that bastard's trip through my system.

and mesquite grilled beef! fuck those flowery perfume things

I am not a big fan of the flowery perfune things, either. At least with the cinnamon-scented ones, I pretend they're churros.

You might want to get that out.

gloves for anything over medium heat and more than a batch of salsa

I love roasted hot green chiles!!!!

helpful household hint if using cheap surgical gloves - a small amount of cornstarch works great as a dry lubricant

Really.... this is the thing I never mastered, so you obviously know!

Now I KNOW I'll never try this again!

even easier if they sit in a plastic bag for a while. If they don't come off they haven't been roasted hot or long enough. we eat them raw too in salsa and in that case I don't bother peeling them

note: these were roasted by a vender in a big rotating drum over a propane flame so they also get tumbled and tossed around quite a bit )a lot of the peel is already off before I start working on them)

when we roast a few on the bbq we just peel and eat right there - yum

My roasting technique lacks!

My eating technique would make up for it, though...

We've got a bowl full of paper lantern habaneros and cayennes sitting on the table. Peppers grew well this season.

then went and used the men's room. Holy screaming peepee. Not good. Don't ever do that.

...Mexican cookbooks call this "Fuego del Popo", a culinary crime committed only by dumbass gringos.
