Habanero Peppers - home grown and fresh

You see those little peppers on the counter. Apparently, they were grown in the garden and recently harvested. Together with the tomatoes, this should be quite nice. So - you decide that maybe all this stuff can go in the stir fry. Yes indeed, this will be quite nice.


Make sure you use a cutting board. Don't scratch the counter top. Dice those tomatoes, but not too much - they'll lose their substance. Onions too. Now cut open those little garden peppers and pull out the seeds. I'm not sure if you're supposed to pull the seeds, but I'll do it anyway. Then slice those peppers up into thin strips and chop them up good. Use the tips of your fingers to guide the knife blade and really chop those little peppers into tiny tiny bits. Scrap everything off the cutting board and into the frying pan and we're off and running. This is going to be quite nice.


It's good to clean as you go. Wipe down your counter top and clean the cutting board. Wipe your eye lid, your upper lip and the side of your nose with your fingers. Make sure your fingers still have the oils from the little home grown peppers on them. Now that you feel a bit of a tingle on your eye lid, go ahead and rub your eye in order to make that tingle go away. Rub it a lot.


Turn off the cook top and consider taking a freezing cold shower. Wash wash wash wash scrub, wash wash scrub, wash wash - and repeat. You may just want to rip your eye out or maybe tear your face off and look for a new one later. Nice peppers.
