Can You Identify the Hot Pepper?
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! In honor of today being Cinco de Mayo, I thought we should heat things up a little. I've found images of chili peppers — some are hot, others are not — and want to know if you can identify them.
Pepper Pop Quiz!
Last week I told you about the ESPN reporter who accidentally ate the world's hottest pepper. I shared it because I thought it was a fun food tid-bit, but little did I know that November is actually National Pepper Month! We've already got the funny part of hot peppers out of the way, so now I thought I'd test your knowledge.

There are hot peppers and then there are HOT peppers. This afternoon we were talking about the Scoville rating system and how some peppers are hotter than others. The Scoville scale measures how hot chili peppers are.
Cut Hot Peppers Without The Burn
The other day I was making a marinade for flank steak that involved coarsely chopping up a few jalapenos. I know it's recommended that you cut jalapenos while wearing rubber gloves - however I never had the time or the patience to do so. I would simply wash my hands under cold water after removing the seeds of a jalapeno.

From classic stovetop shells to leek-and-cheddar penne, I've never met a mac and cheese I don't like. But the recipe I'd been craving most of all was one that, up until recently, only lived in my imagination: buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese.

Taste Test: Hormel Pepperoni Minis
Both PartySugar and I are fiends for cured meats as well as suckers for anything mini — so you can imagine our reactions when we opened up a parcel that was filled with pocket-sized packs of Hormel Pepperoni Minis! I stepped out to run an errand, but Party confessed she couldn't wait for me to get back to break into them. Were they as delicious as they were tempting?
