Deborah to the rescue! Just hope I remember antidote next time I'm "on fire"!

When I was kid crossing the border I would always see the paddywagon full of sailors and marines heading back after a bad night out, and every male, and a few females, had a bottle of booze in the queue. Ahhhhhh the old days...then heads started rolling, literally, and everything changed.

Ice cube helps a bit too. Especially when you inadvertently handle the family jewels with capsaicin hands.

You need to grow TALL Chang-li, that way your nephew gets the low ones, you maybe get the high ones.

Thanks! I'm really digging the bamboo poles. My uncle says I can have as many as I want, there's hundreds more.
Brother was relating how they bought him a box of cherries from Costco and he spit them out, at 14 m.o. he's already a tomato snob!

So what exactly would a spray be good for. Critters, microbes, stuff down your way that might never be found in the semi-tundra where I am in zone 5 or just the stuff found down your way.?

Just ONCE I ate a scorching one,and that by mistake,it was called Elephant Ears,a neighbor's son who was in India sent it back and while the pack was written in English it said nada about it being a hot pepper.

So stupid Carolyn took a huge bite out of one,then raced across the front lawn to the kitchen to get some milk and bread to stop the burning. A day to remember.

I love it when I see the hot peppers folks eating a brain dead one and enthusing over and spitting out comments such as

taste starts slowly
over tones of lemon
now over tones of oak
now complex overtones of grapes
now overtones of arsenic

Now I'm close to death so would someone please start a Go Fund Me to help with the funeral expenses.?

Carolyn

I stay away from the really hot ones and enjoy them by proxy only, as I'm not a fan of crypts of lieberkhun abuse, at least my own.
I really dig popping them open and smelling them. Putting a whole one in my mouth, no way, that's for the sailors in the paddywagon.
The anti-whatever spray will come in handy, to deter what? TBD. Probably the two legged kind.

Thanksgiving tomatoes will be a reality.

Despite the thrips, tomato bugs, whiteflies and all other assorted friends of the garden, there be tomatoes.

The smaller ones

They are great. Big tomatoes, semi-determinate plant, a hint of tart. My last batch was super sweet, this one not quite, but still nice and sweet. Two thumbs up.

Are you saying to use this mixture to put in your eyes if you rubbed them with chile hands, or is a general recipe to be used topically and/or to drink for the burn?

Deborah · November 22, 2016

I rubbed an eyelid, not the actual eye. The nurse advised me to splash my closed eyes with the vinegar and water mixture. The burn stopped immediately.

Deborah · November 22, 2016

Or swish to ease a burning mouth. I never eat anything hot other than a few careful drops of Tabasco on a taco or tostada. That incident happened many years ago while preparing a dish for someone else.

peebee · November 22, 2016

Thanks for clarifying Deborah! I could not imagine how putting vinegar, even diluted, would help by being put in the eye itself. If that helped just by splashing it on to your closed lids, it must also work on other parts of the body that you touch by chile hands. Great tip!

Temps in the eves are getting chilly. Some plants dig it, others don't.

Serranos dig it
