“Are you going to post about this?” Tina said tonight, as I ran out to the patio to snap the above pic.<\/p>\n

“Yes, Dammit.” I said. “I must warn others.” I continued to eat ice. I was on my 5th or 6th mouth-full.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Tina kicked off the harvest season (Labor Day is today … the last day of Summer) by snipping off a few of the orange peppers from our plant. Curiously, I agreed to cut one open and have a taste. I sliced off the stem and simply put the tip of my tongue on the pepper’s flesh.<\/p>\n

What started as a slight sting slowly grew into agony.<\/p>\n

Habanero chili peppers are rated 100,000\u2013350,000 on the Scoville scale<\/a>. Conservatively, that’s about 40 times hotter than a Jalape\u00f1o. I didn’t know that when I bought a baby plant at a local nursery this past spring.<\/p>\n

An hour later … Awesome! It’s really neat to have a plant growing on our patio with such amazing power. I look forward to finding some applications for this powerful pepper …<\/p>\n

But, you’ve been warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
