Mistake of the day.
Made a batch of pickles (Claussen Hearty Garlic Dills, added sliced garlic clove, and 5 habaneros, with a 30 second microwave 'jump start to release the oils).
Rubbed my eye.....
Yep, those peppers are hot!
Oh my. I hope you didn't have to go to the hospital.
I've made pickles very similar to that and they turned out awesome. I hope I've outgrown the dismal, sponge-like failures with practice. 😉 Don't ever touch your eye after working with peppers, even the not-so-hot ones. Our mouths can develop a tremendous tolerance for heat, but I don't think our eyes can do the same.

Just red and watery for awhile.

Fun and easy to make, but comes with some hazards.

Especially when all that's left in the jar is the peppers.

Eating these, you get a totally new definition to hot.

And it takes quite awhile to taper down.

Damn it guys! Do you realize how hungry you're all making me right now?!? LOL
Ditto.
They got me on "Also 'wet' or dry rub" topic .....
Next I guess we need to discuss BBQ sauce...
You do realize there are purists who would take you out behind the woodshed with a switch for merely suggesting getting the sauce in such a manner?
And dang it, now I want BBQ and I just finished lunch...
When I smoke, I'll only use a dry rub. The sauce is for after the meat is done and on the table. Each person can get as saucy as they want, but doesn't have to use any. I have been known make my own to serve with dinner, but I won't smoke with it.
As for what sauce is good, it depends on the meat and the mood. Most of the time, none. I'm sometimes in the mood for a sauce with some zing, especially with wings.

Agreed about dry rub and sauce. My smoker has never had any sauce in it at all. When doing ribs I don't even put sauce on the table. I have had people tell me they wre going to ask for sauce but changed their mind after trying a bite. For me bbq sauce is like ketchup. It is a condiment, not an ingredient.

All this discussion about BBQ made me go to Joe's and get the Hog Heaven today with a side of fries. I feel a case of the meat sweats coming on. 😀

See...be happy you live where you live. Granted, we have some good food around here, but we can't just run out and get authentic BBQ for lunch.

One day, I'm going to have to come to your neck of the woods and we're going to have to take a tour of all the good BBQ places in town. Yes, I know it's a tall order and will take a while, but I'm ready. 😀

I have yet to visit all the BBQ places here. Of course you have to pay attention daily as there are always news ones opening and others closing. I am so frequently surprised at how some places here survive. There is one place a couple miles from my work (I work out right at the very edge of the last possible suburb) that is just awful. Yet it is always busy and people actually talk about how good it is. I tried right after they opened and was disappointed. It is not a good thing when the only memorable part of the meal was that the sauce was really good and the beans were exceptionally horrific. I tried it again after about a year and it was much the same. Bland, overcooked, overpriced and underportioned. Yet some of these places survive around here just kills me.

Let me know if you are going to be around here. Would be great to meet up for some good grub and barley shakes.
