TerriTerri and I were discussing hot peppers and she was talking about how her husband has some crushed habaneros.
Here’s how the conversation went:
Me: I’ve had all kinds of habanero everything over the years. At my favorite Mexican restaurant a while back I ordered fresh habaneros and took a bite. I’ve done it many times before. They weren’t like this one. My lips were burning. It took almost 10 minutes and 4 glasses of water (not necessarily the best for putting out that kind of fire) before I could start eating my dinner. Later on that night my lips started peeling… It took the skin off my lips! I have since then stopped my habanero Russian Roulette!
TerriTerri: Seriously, those can be dangerous. (her husband) sliced one open, washed his hands, then rubbed his eye. He was in such pain and his eye wouldn’t stop watering! I like jalapenos but I won’t go near habaneros.
Me: He’s just lucky he didn’t go to the bathroom! Been there… Done that… 3 times!
TerriTerri: OUCH! And maybe I kinda didn’t need to know that, LOL, but I’m laughing like crazy! Sorry! And… isn’t that the kind of experience you might learn from the first time???
Me: You’d think, wouldn’t ya!
Then Birdie dropped in: Did you two ever see the Oprah where the guy was being all brave, eating the habanero on her show & got the juice in his eye accidentally? He had snot hangin’ to his knees, I’m not kidding! She had to walk him off stage! Poor guy…I did laugh though.
Then TerriTerri suggested I post it.. so HERE YOU GO!

Thanks for sharing. I saw threads of this conversation when cruising the Buzz last night and was curious what the conversation was about.
Last year was year of the Hot Pepper in our garden. We grew Cayenne and Jalapeno peppers. My husband thought I was trying to kill him, as I carried in a fresh peck every night. We had so many that we were giving them away by the bagful to friends & neighbors. Towards the end of the summer my Jalapenos were turning red & black & cracked which makes them extra hot. When my son was going to a friends house, I sent him with a brown paper bag of peppers & tomatoes.
When he came back home, he still had the brown bag. I first thought his friend’s parents did not want our peppers. My son looked at me & smiled when I opened up the bag to discover several orange Habeneros.
I guess they laughed at our wimpy peppers and sent back some real fire-power!

Hot going in…hot going out.
I just stick with my tabasco.
You’ll never see my picture on the wall at Buffaloe Wild Wings.

My hubs likes to make “buffalo turds” on our big green egg which are jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and other stuff (sausage and the like). It is like performing surgery when he guts the peppers. He wears rubber gloves and a mask. I swear if I walk in the kitchen I start to cough!
