isn't that suspended in some sort of horrible organic solvent?
it was some kind of nasty thick oil
or oily substance anyhow
i actually did something similar trying to infuse some everclear with a whole shitload of little dried asian and crushed red peppers. basically left it for a year and when i went back to try it, it was essentially poison.

You know what I found out last night? Apparently each jalapeño varies in terms of its heat: even jalapeños from the same vine can vary by a significant factor.
I recently read that the same is true with the caffeine content of coffee, even cups from the same pot can vary dramatically.

Well it looks like I'm going to be putting up my buddy for ten weeks starting in september. It sounds fine, but I live in a shotgun style studio, I.E., one big room. And we would be having opposite schedules, so I would be coming home from work when he was trying to sleep.
He's aware of all this and is a pretty laid-back guy with not a lot of needs, so I think it should be fine.

You realize that Everclear is basically poison to begin with, right?
Tonight I am going to make broccoli cheddar soup. I am going to use way too much butter. It will be awesome.
i have tried and can't make it work
whatever bitter compound that brocolli produces when overcooked and dark green is just disgusting to me
and i can't figure out how to keep it from happening in soup

Will I think you might be right about New England cooks.
I was going to argue with you about this on the basis that my mother and I are both exceptional cooks, but then I remembered that my mom is from Illinois, and that all my friends' mothers growing up were indeed awful awful cooks.

there are two ways:
1. use frozen broccoli
2. steam the broccoli in the microwave beforehand and add it to the soup very very late. Just add it in while it's simmering: warm enough to spread the flavor but not hot enough to cook the broccoli any more.
i have no idea what feral is trying to say unless it's just glibly asserting that things should never be assessed as to how common they are and only assessed as to whether or not they are harmful
i don't think he's saying this, though, because feral is a smart dude and this would be a silly thing to assert
Right, I'm saying that we can assess things based on commonality and/or consequences.
In other words, despite comments made about me to the contrary, I'm not going to defend any and all uncommon sexual practices or social behavior. Some things are clearly bad.
Usually, what we're saying by "normal" is "benign" or just "okay." It's okay to be gay, for instance. We've decided this (for the most part) as a society because we know now that being gay is benign.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
I love spicy food. When I make red beans and rice I'm like, Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco Tabasco
ok, a little more Tabasco.
Ok done.
But this pie was inedible.
What does Tabasco have to do with loving spicy food?
It's for those of us who don't measure spiciness by the amount of pus we collect from tongue blisters.
I am not super-hardcore about spicy stuff. I like a good hot sauce with a lot of heat, but I like to be able to taste both the sauce and the food it's on.
Really, the best stuff I've found is Secret Aardvark out of Portland. But Tabasco is a fucking joke. You can basically drink it straight from the bottle.

Steam the broccoli, and make the cheddar part of the soup separate. Serve the cheddar part of the soup, then toss in the broccoli. I guess it's more broccoli with a load of cheese sauce, but it still tastes good.

I made the mistake once of thinking I'd have the house to myself for a long period of time since I thought all my roommates had left to visit family for the holidays. I was laying on the couch in my boxers watching some TV when I discovered that instead, my roommate had gone to meet his family for lunch and that they would then be coming to hang out at our place for a while. By his family I mean like, a lot of people, it was a bit embarassing.
Now days I just walk around the apartment in my boxers all the time and my roommates can just deal.

nope no sir
I want a cheese that is less spicy than jalapeno jack
adding jalapenos to another cheese is not going to give me that effect
the jack itself is not spicy
thank you for the suggestions, but I think my point was lost

you gotta have a light touch with the cumin
it's good, but you can easily destroy a dish by overdoing the cumin. i guess same as rosemary
also, people outside the southwest use it as a universal signifier for "mexican food" and make some nasty shit
if you ever go to an On The Border or its ilk in the northeast, expect to get cumin bombed

steam the broccoli lightly first, and then add it to the soup at the very end
