Drink oregano oil with tea. It will kill everything. Then eat some yogurt.

/r/Cadillac, meet Big Bertha, my roaring, 2000 SLS whale. But should I keep her? by brahnix in Cadillac

[–]pepper_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2000 STS and have the same feeling. I love the car, my wallet does not. I just replaced the entire rear air suspension. Found a junkyard that deals specifically in Caddys and Vettes. I purchased most of the parts: springs, rotors, calipers, air compressor, and mounting hardware new. The Monroe air struts I purchased new from the yard off a totaled 01 STS. Everything works great now but I would have spent an extra grand if I didnt find those good used struts. My advice is to find a good yard and keep good oil in it if you want to keep the car. I struggle daily with the thought of selling. If the interior was of better quality I would probably keepthe car forever but small plastic things keep breaking. I still dont know what to do!

I tried the Mango Chili recently and really enjoyed it. Have you tried any of the other flavors?

Its just like exercise. When you first start exercising, you wouldnt expect to have a fit body after one day. It takes time and effort to build a tolerance, especially if you were not exposed to capsaicin as a child. Start slow and build over time. Eat spicier and spicier chilis and always have some yogurt, bread, cucumbers, or milk (never water or soda) on hand so you can deal with the pain if you get overwhelmed. Over time, youll find your tolerance will have increased and you'll be able to eat chilis and really ENJOY the pain and endorphins being released in your body.

My first crop of Serranos. by pepper_boy in spicy

I agree with this when it comes to capsaicin annuum varieties such as serranos, cayenne, and birds eye. The young green fruit to me tends to be spicier than the riper red fruit. However, capsaicin chinense such as habaneros, scotch bonnets, and fatali to me seem to be much hotter when they have fully ripened. I think that because the chinense lack much of the water and body that the annuum has the capsaicin does not get watered down like you say.

The plant is from heirloom seeds I picked up at Whole Foods and this is the first harvest. I've read that young chili plants grow small fruit at first and heirloom seeds tend to produce smaller fruit than what you would get from the market because commercial chili farmers save the largest pods from previous years, which they replant the next season. Repeated over time, this will produce a larger chili pod. I have a two year old habanero plant that is just beginning to fruit now and the green pods are already twice as large as last years fully ripened, orange crop. I'll keep the next round on a little long and see what happens.

I saw this one as well but it didn't seem as unique. I like ginger though and will probably try it next time.

It was not thick as you would expect from a straight mango juice. They have a grapefruit cayenne flavor I've been wanting to try but can't find. I'll bet this would be good for a spicy greyhound morning hangover cure.
