After my daughter got the call from her doctor last night relating she was not infected we put on a feast!

Huge baked potatoes w/sour cream, butter, shredded cheese, bacon bits, deviled eggs, and spicy Italian brats. 'Course mine required lotsa sliced jalapenos too rock

YUM.
That's good new for the both of you but mate, you need to assume you do have it and keep up the isolation/quarantine.
Negative swab only means no active RNA in the test but it could still be there, just inactive.
That's great news for you but not so great for anyone you breathe on.
totally lost
Of course that doesn't allow for the Jalapeño matrix, which could have mutated your genes over the years and made you and your kin immune to viruses.
But that's just a theory I am working on. A delicious, tasty theory.

I hear ya 'berto and yeah this whole thing has certainly had me rethink my position on the whole viral contamination thing.

From here on I'm gloving and wearing a mask if I'm out in public. Luckily I have a small stash of both PPE items since they're currently hard to get.

On the peppers front I'm a firm believer they have amazing powers over infection. I rarely ever get sick and contribute a lot of my hearty immune system to the massive amounts of capsacin I ingest. Still doin my part to keep our pepper growers in business (*binladen*)

I'm right there helping too. Fighting the good fight to keep chilli growers in business.

Good news that things seem OK at least mrk.

Thanks pulse, it was a huge relief to find out she was clear!

In my Corona leisure time I've started a Texican Cookbook with the idea being to revolve the whole thing around the concept of cooking w/peppers. Got any recipes you'd care to share??

I can generously offer .00000002 per word in publishing royalties clown

glad to hear you and yours are okay, Kim..and I think you may be correct about the peppers boosting your immune system...I'm more of a habanero man myself as I don't really like the flavor of the jalapenos..

My favorite peppers are actually serranos, love their flavor.

I like habaneros but there's just not much to 'em since the meat's so thin.

Still haddn had a fresh ghost chile or a reaper and I sure would like to find some and give 'em a whirl hot smiley

pulse, did you ever grow any more of those ghost chiles?

I actually really like the taste of jalapenos. There was a cafe near where I used to live, did an excellent fried chicken+slaw burger, add fresh jalapenos. Was one of my favourite things in the area.

I haven't grown any more ghost chillis. That plant survived another ~2 years, never grew another chilli. But my god they were hot. Just .. insanely hot to bite directly. That was dumb. smiling

A friend of my wife makes jars of home made chilli sauce which I absolutely love. I'm nearly out of it now, need to get some more. Otherwise I mostly just use sauces these days; I like this guy's stuff - this pack would probably suit you Kim smiling

Don't get me wrong pulse I do love jalapenos but serranos just have a subtle difference I really enjoy.

Too bad your plant waddn more productive but at least you got to get something off it. My poor plants got wiped out before they were even 3" tall ... sniff, sniff

Having tried lotsa sauces I tend to enjoy the home made ones the best. Most commercial sauces I've tried are just ass burnin hot without a lotta taste. The worst are the ones that have a very vinagary taste thumbs

That's why I like those ones in the link; it is home made, the dude just sells them at markets and online. A few hundred bottles a year, a sideline he's turned into a business.

Now you've got me thinking about chilli again. It's nearly dinner time...

Opened up a bottle of the smokey burn sauce tonight I had in the pantry. Damn tasty. I've been missing spicy food at my in laws place.
