| and Tums, Rolaids, Pepto, Alka Seltzer, and anything else that might quelch the volcanic reaction I'm soon to experience after feasting on Tombstone pizza and a newly opened jar of Wisconsin pickled peppers! If I don't get hospitalized after this, I'm one fortunate dude. Got a package in the mail today, and much to me surprise I found w/in a jar of pickled beets and 2 jars of pickled jalepenos, sent by none other than Theedz himself! Apparently his wife canned an S-load of the tasty little firebrands, and he sent me some samples; needless to say, after almost a full jar of them, I will no doubt soon experience me own internal 4th of July. Just wanted to say thanks dude, and tell your wife she should market this stuff! Can't wait to try the other jar w/ some extra sharp Wisconsin Velveeta...:O | |

| Lol Lucky!:O You must remember the traumatic influences of the late 60s/early 70s, and the devastating effects these influences had on those who survived this time period; being a former P.O.W. in the local high school then for 4 years, I consider meself fortunate to still function in today's society at a most elementary level. Me most memorable moment was being wheeled up on stage at graduation, sedated and bound to a "dolly", and snatching me diploma w/ me teeth; free...free at last!!! I vaguely remember who, what, and where I was, and now spend all me free time helping others relocate themselves, and provide career counseling from the interiors of match book covers. I look forward to the day when the beladonic haze lifts, and I might once again see clearly!
At any rate, I survived the night in surprisingly good shape, although I seem to remember "glowing" like the Christmas tree on the White House lawn as I drifted off...if ever Theedz chooses to pop open a jar of those 'penos while in your presence, dare not look the other way...those dudes are daggone tasty, and he is most fortunate to have a wife who has mastered the fine and delicate art of perfecting canned heat!:O Again dude, thanks for the surprise; some of those w/ Shep's summer sausage would be the ultimate snack... | |

| Anything for you Sponge. Glad you're enjoying them. They do terrible things to my digestive tract for days on end. I just can't eat 'em anymore.
Ya know, some of us don't age as gracefully as others.

Location: Greenfield, WI | Sponge, please don't add any diet Coke to the Theedz Care Package, the mixture may turn radioactive and explosive! Worse yet, adding a Payday to the mix provides shrapnel to the inevitable gaseous expulsion! Usually, those Wisconsin grown peppers cannot be transported or shipped over state lines without a special permit! The entire mid-Atlantic State region should be put on HIGH alert!!
As nice as Theedz is, he just didn't think through the potential problems which his care package could cause!!

| Thanks for the new idea SVL! Me next invention shall be named the "J Pepper Pay Day", the snack for those who care...no diet Coke Colas allowed; aspertane(tain?) has a tendency to increase the stupid level in an individual, and due to the high level of "inbredidness" in the mid Atlantic region, the intake of such is frowned upon in even the most thirsty situations. That's what I love about this board...one can awake each morning and spend time w/ peeps whose mental capabilities exceed that of each other...where ideas, inventions, and highly intelligent verbage flow as freely as the water from a playground fountain on a hot summer day...ok Theedz!!! What did your wife put in those daggone peppers???:O | |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Actually Sponge, the material in the peppers is from another planet, and creates a symbiosis with the host organism after injesting the peppers. The reatcion is identical to the process that occurs on that planet to create the material, a gaseous bubble exploding into the atmosphere, releasing the creative materials for which Theedz's peppers are so famous. I believe the planet where this wonderous material is harvested is Uranus. I am sure it isn't Saturn, that place is known for automobiles, I think. | |

| Fortunately Stever, I have been blessed w/ the ability to ingest various foods, paint chips, and a variety of foreign objects w/ no ill effects, but from the neck up, ALL things become foreign, thus displaying me family ties to the ancient galactic air mass known as the planet Stupider. Daily I see others must hail from there also, although they are not so ready as to 'fess up!:O From here to there to nowhere...all I can say is Madam Theedz has become the "Pied Piper of Pickled Peppers", and is the next Julia Childs of all things canned; we often begin each day in a different direction, yet return to the way we were; never lost, because where we are is where we are at... | |

Location: Greenfield, WI | Sponge, I have spent years trying to figure out where I am, where I'm going, and where I've been. I should have known that I should saved all sorts of time and energy by just asking you! | |
| | |
| Thanks dude, but one would be safer seeking answers to questions from those who have a better record of stability!:O It's all I can do from busting open that last jar of "fire starters" and bursting into flames; taking the assorted sponges to see that new pirate movie tomorrow night, so I'll save some for the pre movie meat fest. The other 2 sponges were in Va. Beach and all little dude did was talk about pirates, so loks like we'll be walking the plank soon. I may put a patch over me eye afterwards and knock off a 7-11 on the way home; a life lesson for Jr!  | |

| Remember Sponge
Life isn't like a box of chocolates ... it's more like a jar of
jalapenos. Watch what you do today, because it might burn your butt
tomorrow. "

| Yes indeedy! The jalapenos are ok...it's the habaneros that can cause the after morning singe. Peter Piper never had it so good!:O | |

Location: NeverNever Lake | Chile Pepper Heat Scoville Scale
Wondering how to rate the heat level of various types of chile peppers? Peppers are rated based on Scoville Units, a method developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912. The original method used human tasters to evaluate how many parts of sugar water it takes to neutralize the heat. Nowadays human tasters are spared and a new process called HPLC, or High Performance Liquid Chromotography measures the amount of capsaicinoids (capsaicin) in parts per million. Capsaicin is the compound that gives chiles their heat. The chart below rates chile peppers, with 0 being mildest and 10 highest heat.
Scoville Chile Heat Chart
Variety Rating Heat Level
Sweet Bells; Sweet Banana; and Pimento 0 Negligible Scoville Units
Mexi-Bells; Cherry; New Mexica; New Mexico; Anaheim; Big Jim 1 100-1,000 Scoville Units
Ancho; Pasilla; Espanola; Anaheim 2 1,000 - 1,500 Scoville Units
Sandia; Cascabel 3 1,500 - 2,500 Scoville Units
Jalapeno; Mirasol; Chipotle; Poblano 4 2,500 - 5,000 Scoville Units
Yellow Wax; Serrano 5 5,000 - 15,000 Scoville Units
Chile De Arbol 6 15,000 - 30,000 Scoville Units
Aji; Cayenne; Tabasco; Piquin 7 30,000 - 50,000 Scoville Units
Santaka; Chiltecpin; Thai 8 50,000 - 100,000 Scoville Units
