A while back JWFillips sent me a care package with a large assortment of hot peppers. I'm not much of a cook but I do enjoy hot peppers in some foods, my wife not so much. She won't clean them or mess with them in any way and she doesn't like hot foods at all. So I cleaned the peppers and chopped them up in a food processor. If there was enough to split up - I got a lot of Scotch Bonnets and similar, don't remember the names offhand - I put half of them in cotton seed oil, the other half I put in white vinegar. Otherwise I put all of one type in either the oil or the vineagar.
Every morning I eat two scrambled eggs with a dab of hot pepper of one type or another and Kraft Mexican cheese mix. Wakes up the senses, clears out the nose, gets me going more than coffee, it's great. Then a bowl of Cheerios with blueberries, the milk quiets the hot peppers. Good way to start the day.
Also nice to have the peppers to add to just my bowl of chili or bean soup or whatever. Thanks again JW!
