Wow! 8-! I consider myself immune to hot foods, but tonight we made a dish full of fresh Poblano and Habanero peppers that blew Mrs. H's and my taste buds out of our nose.

It was:

yellow rice (saffron)
black beans (w/ garlic, red onion, olive oil, crushed black pepper, & oregano)
&
stewed ground beef with:
red onions
tomatoes
poblano peppers
habanero peppers
garlic
ground black pepper
oregano
then sqeeze a lime over it.
&
top it with 'Datil Do it Sauce' (made with Datil Peppers)
&
serve with a tomato, onion, and Irish Swiss Cheese salad w/ Italian dressing.
&
extra limes

Then cool down with mango yogurt and kiwis.

MAKE SURE ALL INGREDIENTS ARE FRESH :)

hum, there seems to be no rhyme, reason or geographic basis to the ingredients. :p

Why am I sharing with you what Mrs. H and I ate for dinner? Because it rocked the m*$^er f&@(ing house down. :cool:

Try it and eat it up…yum! :D

hot

Sounds good but might be out of my league.

I have two super cayanne plants that have a lot of fruit but are still green and one Thai plant that's showing promise. I'm trying Habaneros again. A couple of them are flowering but no fruit yet. I also have a couple of "Tepin" plants. Supposed to be real hot. The summer here has been cool and wet and the growing season is relatively short. Not good for hot peppers. To my surprise I've only recently learned that peppers are perennials. So this fall I'm planning to dig some of them up and move them inside. I might get a head start next year.
 
I can't even eat Green Bell Peppers. Rob made me grow jalapenos in the garden last year so that he could make salsa and we wound up supplying my entire office for the summer because we needed just one jalapeno per batch.

Bland is Good.
 
I love spicy foods. We have pico at the house that's getting better by the minute. We're doing a big hatch roast this weekend, hopefully they were picked at the right time so theyre hot!

Maister's Gardening Corner.
At the Maister abode this year we planted several varieties of peppers but made the mistake of planting our Hungarian Sweet peppers between the habanero and cayenne varieties. The bees didn't know the difference and we ended up with a harvest of Hungarian Hot Peppers due to cross-pollination. We only discovered this, of course, after putting them into a nice salad which we served to company (fortunately it was family!).

I didn't realize that the heat in the fruit would be affected by cross polinization. I thought the cross would show up in the seeds and therefore the next year's plants. Where did you get the plants/seeds?
 
Except for the ground beef (I don't eat meat), your recipe sounds great. I love spicy food. (My DH and I often compete to see how much wasabi we can tolerate with our sushi.)

At a vegetarian restaurant recently, I had a delicious Szechuan Black Bean Soup that rivaled the shrimp soup I used to get at a Bolivian restaurant at Pike Place Market in Seattle in the 8-!HEAT8-! department. Yummmmm.

I got the plants from a new greenhouse in town called 'Garden Spot Garden Center'. I wondered about the cross-pollination taking place in the current generation plants myself. The only other explanation I can come up with is the plants were simply mislabelled.
