I won't speak for anyone else, but I am certainly guilty of scanning subject headers and just dumping emails that don't immeadiately catch my eye for whatever reason. After all, pleas for info on how to make sauce, smoke chiles, make salsa, etc. get old after a while, thus, Rael (me) get's lazy as hell and just deletes, baby... Rude, i suppose. But sometimes one has to scream. Anywho, enough of that sheeeet.... <snippage> > >Which was not too bad, but needed to be much hotter and less lemoney. >Tasted ok poured over pasta. I ain't a sauce maker, so i'm really not gonna be much help, but don't think that will stop me from rambling on about other kaka and seeing if i can't make an arse of myself. Salsas, chutneys, etc., yes; but sauces, no. Yet I'd ask you this: are you really looking for a "hot sauce" since you poured your concoction on pasta? Or are you looking for a nice hot/spicy pasta-type sauce? Granted, people eat hotsauce on pasta, and people also dump not-so-wonderful experiments on pasta rather than chuck it out the door <g>...but I just got to wondering if you were looking for something other *than* a hot sauce... Personally, I like making a nice basic marinara/red sauce and spicing it up with chiles. Good base for many things. >The second one I made up last night was just a mishmash of anything I >could find to see what would happen (chilli experiment): >* 5-6 birdseye chillies >* splash of red wine >* honey >* splenda >* wine >* vinegar >* tomatoes >* apples >* tomato paste >* water >Simmered for about an hour and bottled. I haven't tasted it, but it >should be interesting to say the least. I assume you pureed it all up and such? If not (or maybe even if), it sounds like it'd go nice w/pork. No vinegar and not much acid (or is wine enough w/the 'maters, you science folks?), so i don't think it'll keep for long. Could be an interesting marinade. Okay, i like pig, i.e. what the hell doesn't go w/pork? Hmm. >When chilli cooks, does it always stink up the place and smell like a >strong grassy smell? New one on me. Cheap wine? Wine and apples? What did you eat for dinner? (hehehe...funny boy, ain't i?) >Anybody got some real recipes tried and true they'd like to share with me? > Think the archives are full of em, but are not the archives tied up now folks? Can't remember. Stuff was getting shifted around a while back, yes? No? anywho. Patience, brother. We ain't all uptight. I'm fucking weird as hell and so are a few others, but generally, we're a great bunch of chileheads who just wanna grow/eat/worship the Fruits of El Grande, have a sing song or two, play Twister [TM!] and get nekkid in a pile. Okay, i may be the pile, but some of these chileheads are OLD FARTS too <g> hehe too much fun at 2.30 am. I need sleep...or a bathtub of green jello...i shall check the cupboards... -- Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles....... Rael64 Monk of the TCS Order of Enlightened Twister [TM!]
