fuck summer
and put those shishitos on the grill for a minute with some oil on them. yummy but a sneaky hot one every now and again....
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
You know you love it because it makes me happy
I am on a Datil pepper kick currently. Friend of mine in Hastings grows them. A get sent Datil jelly, Datil hot sauce and a few fresh once in a while. They are wonderful.

Where are these shishito plants coming from? Never heard of em, but now I want some.
Lowes or Home Depot should have them.
Haha this is accurate. My brother has grown Carolina Reapers since they got popular. He has burned his tastebuds out on hot peppers and hot wing challenges. Even so, most of his peppers get dehydrated, ground into powder, made into hot sauce, infused with oil, etc and never used because they are just too hot.
I put half of a reaper in a couple gallons of spaghetti sauce years back, and it made it borderline inedible.
Lowes on James Island has had Shishito plants the last few years...If you like Shishitos trying planting Padron peppers as well (have to start from seed), similar pepper, but plants are more prolific. Cook'em the same way, olive oil, salt and pepper in a hot cast iron pan or on the grill.
I like Jalapenos and some cayenne sprinkled in most chilis, stews, gumbos, etc. that I cook. Hatch chiles are really good too, but I will never understand the appeal of eating something so hot that it makes your eyes water and/or leaves blisters on your lips. I'd rather drive a lifted 3/4 ton diesel to make up for my small pecker.....
I won't eat a straight pepper but I love to use habanero powder. Perfect amount of heat for what I use it on and great flavor. And another vote for summer.
