According to Peter's sig, Ken must have had the daily catch special last night.

By the way, Talenti Sicilian Pistachio Gelato is really good. I wish the local stores had more of their flavors. I keep seeing them post flavors on Facebook that I've never seen around town.

I still can't believe how good Snickers Ice Cream Bars are, either. A box of six was on sale for $3 somewhere recently, and 50 cents apiece for an ice cream version of Snickers really isn't bad, considering I like them even more than the normal candy bar.

CV, you really should not do that.

it's bad for your teeth. :-(

Maybe I have a really cute dentist.

It was Pig Out in the Park this weekend in Spokane, Washington, and my friend, Rachel, invited me to accompany her. As you can see in the concert thread, we also lucked out with Emily Wells performing on Saturday, too.

The winners for Pig Out for me were the deep fried peanut butter and honey dessert sandwich with powdered sugar, the elk breakfast burrito, the chocolate-dipped turtle cheesecake on a stick, and the pina colada smoothie. Everything I tried was good, though. I also had a combo plate of Indian food, wok-fired soba noodles with teriyaki chicken, hush puppies, and Pad Thai. Oh, and I tried some of the Navajo fry bread with maple that Rachel got, as well as another type of fry bread, though I can't remember what that one was called. All very good. I recommend that event if you can ever attend, that's for sure. I also got other food items when I was in Spokane to bring back for friends and family. And for me, of course. Too much chocolate from Chocolate Apothecary, gourmet flavored popcorn from a market (Grandma's Apple Pie, Toasted Coconut, Bourbon Pecan Torte, and White Chocolate Mousse), and individual servings of cheesecake which were also at the market, by Spokane Cheesecakes (Huckleberry, Mayan Spicy Cheesecake, Pecan Praline, New York, Limon, and Cherries Jubilee). Oh, and I bought three packs of jerky for my dad. He let me try the one with the ghost peppers, and it was really good.

Yeeeeehaaaww that there is hottt!

So, I got tired of the inconsistency of grocery store hot peppers and, after a conversation at a local veggie stand, decided to dry my own. The guy said I could just dry them on a cookie sheet, but after two weeks they are still not dry enough to package.

I strung them up for more drying today using a needle and thread. After I was done I decided to do the finger lick test (as oppose to the rub your eye test) and Hoo boy these things pack some heat.

As an added bonus, the add a nice splash of colour to my Man Cave hanging by the balcony door. Should have done this a long time ago.

What kind are you drying?

I never tried drying them but I was making my own hotsauces and salsa for a while when we had someone selling some actual variety in peppers at the Farmer's Market but now it's just gotten too hard to get anything but the norm again.

I had a soup today.

Niiiiice.
