Is there a such thing as too spicy?! I don't think so...

If I could figure out a way to ship you some of the carnita left overs, I definitely would, cuz I think you might change your mind I'd also have to send along some of my latest salsa/sauce too, an eye watering mixture I have dubbed 'extreme' but the guys call 'just right'

Chili heat gets stronger over time, or at least it does in canned salsa in my experience.

Maybe your peppers got hotter over the past year like my salsa always does, you did say they were from last year's garden?

I just made a "mild" batch that will get hotter over time, and a "medium" batch that is ready to eat now. We start with the "medium" and then eat the "mild" later in the year when it has become hotter, works for us

it's only too hot when the ticker start palpating I have eaten some of the hottest stuff on earth, and love it! I wish you could ship me some carnita leftovers too

I don't know if the habaneros got hotter or not - they were pretty rough when I dried them last year I thought drying halted all processes - is that not true?

DH and DS test any peppers I plan to use in anything. I give them each a slice, if it begins to sting and burn immediately when it touches their tongue, it passes muster and can be used. A mild tingle or slight burn gets a pass. The extreme sauce was plenty hot enough for me when I canned it, so I knew it would get 'worse' as it sat. DH is VERY picky when it comes to sauce: It must be thick, but not too thick, and there is no such thing as too hot for him. Unfortunately, DS has become his clone. I can't believe the pair of them don't have huge holes burned in their stomachs from some of the stuff they eat!

I made carnita's for dinner yesterday and, man, were they spicy! I used 4 of my dried habenaro's from last years garden, plus a jalapeno, Thai and Super chili that I went out and picked from the big garden yesterday The guys loved them, but I had to eat a slice of bread after, to take the heat away! Also made a new loaf of bread for DH's lunch - the bread I made last night fell. I have been having lots of trouble with my bread falling lately I should probably look it up on the bread site I bookmarked for troubleshooting. DS is inhaling the bread that fell because, although it is only half as tall as it should be, it is very light and fluffy. Weird. I ended up miserable - it hit 98 yesterday, and I spent the hottest part of the day in the kitchen! The carnita's took 3 hours on the stove in my cast iron dutch oven, and then there was the oven going for the bread. Ugh.

Little Man is not totally better yet, but he did come running to me yesterday when I stepped in to the pasture, which made me so happy! I taught hubby how to give a calf a pill and how to administer electrolytes (the calf was a bit dehydrated, so we went ahead and electrolyted him). He thought it was pointless, because he's out of town all the time I told him to stop being such a sissy city boy and get out there and learn!

SSDreamin, I find that if the bread rises to much it will fall when baked. This is just my experience

What causes the bread to rise to much? I have that problem w/my bread machine and have tried to adjust a few things w/out any luck. And I just don't have time to bake bread right now.
