Chili Pepper Wednesday: Homemade chili powder


Last week we made a second big harvest from our chili plants and dried the chili peppers in the oven. Yesterday I bought a mortar and pestle and today I got to work grinding up a tiny batch of chili powder. Now, I know that chili powder in the US seems to be some kind of spice mix you use in chili. This is now that kind of chili powder. It's pure chili peppers ground up into a powder, chili powder! I used two medium hot red chili peppers and one tiny Bhut Jolokia (aka Ghost pepper), an extremely hot variety of chili pepper. This produced a powder that was really spicy at first taste, and when the stinging feeling of heat disappeared from the tongue, your lips and mouth might feel slightly numb from the bhut jolokia. In a good way! This powder will keep you warm through winter. I can't wait to try this in some food soon.

    That's right, no buying that sorry excuse for pizza dough at your local grocery store; we're tаlking the real deal here.
    Toρ the dough with olіve oil or
    coοking ѕрray, and scoοp the onion mіхture oѵer
    it evenly.

  6. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a number of
    websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all
    my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
