I only just recently caught the Christian marriage-themed movie Fireproof, so I was unaware of this particular scene until now. I know us chileheads and hot sauce fanatics like to see how the general populace views us and our fiery activities, so I thought this hot sauce drinking game scene would be of interest to many of you.
Watch the scene in the video below.

This review of caramels exploits my love of sweets, albeit ones with nary any chile pepper-induced spice. No, these are very straightforward salt caramels courtesy of Becky’s Blissful Bakery, an all-female based business headquartered in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. Even to this day, some folks are still surprised that not every thing in my diet has to be fiery hot and that I go for outstanding flavor more often than I go for pure heat. Yes, I will gravitate for towards the incendiary end of the spice scale when conducting product reviews, but sometimes when an opportunity comes along to test out food of the “regular” variety, I will still wholeheartedly take advantage of it.
Becky’s Blissful Bakery has submitted three different products for review: their Original Sea Salt Caramels, their Salted Beer & Pretzel Caramels, and a jar of their Caramel Sauce…
Jeesh, enough with the yellow chocolate nagahabascorpionreapermoruga hybrid #71 chiles. Or is it the peach chocolate nagahabascorpionreapermoruga hybrid #71 chiles? Give me a break…
Fatigued by the avalanche of taste-alike, burn-alike super-hot chile strains, crosses and hybrids, I offer a challenge to video reviewers and hobby growers: objectively tell the difference between them using only your taste buds. I bet 95% of you can’t.

There are a myriad of solutions and variations when it comes to clean your BBQ grill or smoker grates. Heat and moisture can certainly help, but it almost always take something abrasive to remove the burnt and stuck-on food from the grate wires. I’ve actually been a fan of taking balls of waded-up aluminum foil and scraping the offending crust from the grill, but I’ve always had a good grill brush on standby for a different kind of attack on burnt-on grime if needed.
But what type of grill brush do I think is best? The verdict is still out in that department for me, as I’ve had a full array of mixed results from all types.
Rizzi at Mr. Grill has recently sent me their Brass Grill Brush to put through its paces…
Scott reviews three different offerings from Ken’s Pepper Works – Island Sunshine, Rio Grande Mud and Red Thunder Hot Sauces.

In cooking, consuming and dealing with fiery cuisine, especially the liquid seasonings that give flavor and heat to dishes, you’re going to stumble upon dozens of interrelated names and terms. Some of their meanings may be obvious, but chances are good that if you’re newer to the world of spice you may get hung up on a few.
For the novice foodies and beginner chileheads, I’ve given definitions of a lot of these words you’ll encounter. The following list is certainly not comprehensive, yet still should cover most of the terms encompassing the wide world of spicy sauces, condiments and liquids.
Hot Sauce
In its most basic meaning, a hot sauce is simply any sauce that uses hot chile peppers as one of its mean ingredients to give it a spicy taste. Diving deeper into what the definition of hot sauce is, it can technically mean any type of pepper-based substance ranging from watery liquids to thicker condiments all the way up to a thin paste in terms of consistency. Hot sauce can have an almost unlimited number of supporting ingredients including tart, sugary, fruity, salty, smoky or tangy ones. It also should be noted that technically salsas are considered to be hot sauces, albeit much thicker ones. Also referred to as pepper sauces and chile sauces.

The event is sponsored by the El Paso Bicycle Club.
All rides incorporate the region’s favorite cycling route, N.M. Hwy 28, which runs through chile and cotton fields, pecan orchards and historic Mesilla Valley communities.
The rides begin with the 100-mile event at 7:30 a.m.; the 62-mile event begins at 9 a.m.; the 40-mile ride begins at 9:30 a.m.; the 22-mile ride begins at 10:30 a.m.; and the 10-mile fun ride begins at 10:45 a.m. All route maps and other details are posted at www.chilepepperchallenge.com.
The Chile Pepper Festival, which takes place every September outside of Bowers, Pennsylvania, is a highly underrated but rapidly growing gathering for chileheads featuring foodie booths of all kinds, pepper contests, and actual chile fields from which show attendees can pick pods.
Our friend and fellow heat freak and griller “Firehead” Thomas Gately had attended the Chile Pepper Festival this past September 5th and 6th and got some great overview clips that he’s compiled together into this short video:
