I am talking about jalapeno peppers. Some are really hot, and some are not that bad. This evening, I picked the only jalapeno pepper that I had on one of my two plants. It was a relatively small one. I was making creole corn muffins, and I thought chopping up a jalapeno pepper would give the muffins a nice flavor. As I cut into the pepper, it somewhat took my breath away, then I started coughing. That is how strong it was. Then I proceeded to finely chop up the pepper. After a few minutes my fingers started burning even after I washed my hands. Wow! I made sure not to touch my face or eyes. And the creole corn muffins turned out nicely and tasted great with the pot of vegetable beef soup that I made.
