Things that keep people up at night… Barking dogs. Job stress. The proper spelling of “chili” If the English language wasn’t complex enough, now we have 100 different ways to spell “chili” (okay maybe mostly just 3 ways, but it might as well be 100). Not the chili with beans in it, but “chili” peppers. Not the chilly as in freezing cold, but spicy chili paste you dab on your teriyaki chicken.

There are plenty of foods that double as brilliant cleaning agents. Lemon juice is one of the dual-purpose foods. Vinegar is another. (Mix them together and you have the cleaner used to shine many a stainless steel diner in the last century.) Baking soda is another one of those miracle workers.

We stumbled on this incredible article the other day. It covers some of the hottest peppers and how they’re measured. With plenty of references, How Does The Scoville Scale Measure The Exact Hotness Of A Pepper? is not a bad article at all.
