I have a super weird habit. Maybe not that weird?

OP is a textbook case of how MonkeyPox gets started in a "Community"

Once you start down the hot path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

I have mostly walked away...I saw my kids go down the spicy path and how quickly it took them over and it woke me up a bit.

I still like my Thai and Indian hot as hell, but I've cut it out of every day stuff.

Man indian food is super good. Thai aswell. It really is addicting.

This last week I've cut down on heat a little cause my stomach was feeling it. But I still cannot eat 100% mild, lol.

An imbalance in various hormones might also trigger a food craving, and specifically a spicy food craving. The hormones that are most likely going to affect your food cravings are serotonin and leptin. Hormonal changes mainly due to pregnancy or menstruation may also trigger spicy food cravings.

Thank you. I wanted to say something about that, but I didn't know enough about it to say anything.

Lol, Venus's close fly by in 2004 changed me to eating more spicy food - seriously - but not like our AC OP. A jalapeno is about as hot as I can go, and mild taco sauce.

I'd be if I ate it like she does....

Lovey, you're probably burning holes in your stomach....and I hate to think what it's doing to the rest of your GI tract....

You should probably get your stomach imaged, to make sure it's not....compromised.

The upside of your heat cravings is I bet you don't have a single parasite in ya!....

Lolol. Well, I'm a Texan and we love hot stuff. But I feel like once you get stared it just goes deeper like an above poster said.

Also, I made some handmade pork and veggie potstickers the other night with a Thai Chile peanut sauce.... And man.... It was sooo good but...... The next day was rather.... Unpleasant

How do you taste the flavors in your pot stickers over the heat?....:shrug:

That's what I don't like about too spicy-hot food, I can't taste what I'm eating. I only get the heat, and nothing else.

Lol, you might as well just drink it out of the bottle and eat the peppers whole, I suppose....

BTW, I love-love pot stickers. I put a few dashes of Chalula hot sauce in the sauce that comes with it....mmmmm-mmmm good!

But only a few, just to bring up the taste....I used to be a chef, so I'm kinda picky about my food being taste balanced.

I ate chicken wings so hot that I could feel them moving thru my bowels like hot coals. I think they took them off the market because all the babies probably went to the er and tried to sue the manufacturer. They were good. Probably helped prevent colon cancer

For years now in grocery and garden stores, we’ve seen potted herbs, like basil, that are ready to take home, pop on a windowsill and begin harvesting. Next spring, for the first time, a whole new series of ready-to-harvest miniature tomatoes and peppers will start appearing on store shelves.
European breeding companies have been developing miniature food plants for some time. PanAmerican Seed Company is an innovative seed-breeding corporation, based in Chicago, that sells its seeds through associated businesses to growers around the world. PanAmerican has been breeding new varieties of vegetables, annuals and perennials for many years, including the amazing line of lettuce blends called Simply Salad. The company will be introducing its new Kitchen Minis Series next spring.
I had the chance to speak with Felicia Vandervelde, PanAmerican’s regional account manager and product development manager in Chicago, about these exciting new plants.
Vandervelde gave credit to Susanne Villemoes, a breeder in Denmark, for developing this miniseries. She said the concept is to provide folks who have no garden space with the opportunity to pick and enjoy their own fresh produce. PanAmerican is focusing on three products: tomatoes, sweet peppers and hot peppers. Because of their miniature size, these plants fit nicely on small windowsills and once fully established, they’ll provide small, flavourful fruit for about 70-to-80 days.

No, not an ad, just a good idea for small spaces. We grew out a birdseye pepper over the summer, got about 50 peppers, and look forward to more come Spring.
Chillies are high in Vitamin B and C, fresh red chillies are believed to help boost collagen levels and great for maintaining healthy skin production and blood vessels.

Vitamin-C (Ascorbic acid) – 240%
Vitamin B6 – 39%
Vitamin A, – 32%
Iron – 13%
Potassium – 7%

So grow enough to have a pepper a day. Just take off the stem and swallow whole if you don't like heat.

I found this...cheap and fun for the whole family

Honestly, my Tolerance to heat is so high that while the heat does creep up on me, it isn't hot to me like it would be to you. I enjoy the heat along with the sweet and savory.

Oh my goodness sending you a virtual bowl of potstickers.... They are just so dangerous, that's why I rarely make them LOL. I had made steamed cilantro rice and steamed broccoli to go with. It was sooo good.

The sauce was amazing though. Sweet and spicy, gingery and tangy. Hehehe.

Cholula is good btw. I really like the flavor of that sauce.

Ginger is a favorite of mine. That heat I like...and you're killin' me with the menu right now woman, lol. I WANT!

Chalula makes a good wing sauce, too. It's barely hinging on too hot for me, but I just drink down the Ranch dressing, and get through it, loving it all the way!....

I'm a huge pepper junkie. And it's come to me "drinking" hotsauce everytime I walk past it on my house.

This girl loves hot stuff. But my stomach is starting to feel it. Jalapenos don't do it. It's gonna be habaneros, serrano's, and hotter. Or for hotsauce, none of that Louisiana crap. It's gonna be habaneros or scorpion.

I love eating raw peppers with my food, pickled peppers, and hotsauce so hot it rips you open on the way out the next morning.

What is wrong with me? Is this normal Texana behavior? Lol.

I swear spicy stuff is like crack.

You know what's really good though?

My breakfast sandwiches I make for my husband and I. Buttered and toasted Texas toast, seasoned egg topped with sauteed onion and american cheese, chopped habaneros, tomatoes, bacon, roast honey turkey and sometimes topped with my salsa Verde.

That's it. I'm done. Had to share. I've never met anyone that drinks hotsauce like me. Oh, I forgot, the taco truck hotsauces go down good too. They'll put some hair on ya chest I say. Lmao. I need to stop. My stomach is slowly crying.

You make me one of those breakfast sandwiches and we're good forever, op

Speaking of hot .... have you have had a big bite of wasabi that was so friggen hot it made your lungs and sinus burn like hell for a few seconds? I did once on accident. I actually could not get a breath in for a few minutes. Hoooooh-weeee, You want to talk about burn! Clears out your sinuses too!

I like hot sauce on Mexican food and my eggs. Jalapenos and serranos make everything taste better.

OP, they actually say that hot peppers are good for the lining of your gut.


"Chili peppers are rich in antioxidants and other compounds that can soothe digestive issues such as ulcers, upset stomachs, cramps, intestinal gas, and even curing diarrhea. Peppers are able to accomplish this because they stimulate gastric juices and work against the acidity in your digestive tract."

Not weird at all my friend.

In the Midwest, places like New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, most people eat peppers with every meal.

A lot of people eat hot sauce on everything.

Red Chile has a bunch op natural anti-oxidents and anti-inflammatory properties.

Green Chile will keep your digestive system clean, especially if you eat a lot of beans with your Chile.

There is a good reason Mexicans have some of the lowest rates of colon cancer in the world.

My personal theory is hot Peppers have so many good things in them that over time, the Pepper created a defense system (spiciness) to keep animals from eating them all the time.

Keep eating them! They are great for you unless of course you have stomach issues like ulcers or IBS.

It's Hatch Green Chili season! Green chili's make everything taste great!
