Grilled out with Kabuto's family on Sunday. We went to a preserve, it was nice to see those green thingies again- what were they called- oh, yes, "trees". Kabuto's dad Tomato is even wackier than Kabuto is. He made a drink called "nalgas de indios": "Indian Buttocks". Unfortunately it had rum in it so none for me. I had a "Bloody Maria" instead: Clamato, lemon juice, hot sauce, and tequila.

I love hot stuff, and thought I had gone as far as I could with it. I like habaneros & scotch bonnets etc, and a fresh habanero isn't that bad, right off the bush. Extracts don't do it for me, they taste nasty, and taste is just as important as the endorphins I get from eating it.

So our hosts taught me a Mexican secret for making a pepper hotter. They just roll it in other peppers so that one pepper absorbs the hotness of many, many others. I definitely got some mehicano cred for eating a grilled pepper prepared this way, I could see it in their faces. Tomato said it was good for parasites. Another guy called it "Eat today, tomorrow pay." LOL!
