    Is "No te precupes" used in some Spanish speaking countries, or is that just some mispronunciation Nicole grew up with and was never told about? Just curious because it sounds so strange, but I realize it may be part of a dialect. Not that anyone in chat will really know Nicole's story, of course.

    Sorry josh, but you are wrong about the heat factor in jalapenos. PuckerButt Pepper Company founder Ed Currie (who is an expert on peppers and the creator of the Carolina reaper, says that the ribs contain the heat. The reason that the first bowl was a bit spicier is due to the fact that the seeds are in close proximity of the ribs and thus get some of that heat from them. But the DO NOT produce heat themselves.

    different peppers from the same kind are different levels of heat, no way to see if your theory works or not. you would have to use the same peppers cut into thirds for your experiment to be valid. and the only way to tell a hot pepper from a mild one is how pointed the bottom is, more pointed more hot.

    I had to steal a car to possibly rescue my brother and our best friend who stole a bronco to go mudding. They tried to say that it was a spur of the moment idea. I called bullshit to that because they were on crap clothes, Pierre Part reeboks (rubber boots) and safety goggles. Long story short an RX-7 shouldn’t be used to rescue anyone who sunk a Bronco (only the front was visible because the engine is so big and heavy it held the truck there) so I drove them to a pay phone (no cell phones back then with cameras to document the night)

    When making pasta salad my brother doesn’t add diced green bell peppers because of the propensity of mistaking them for the diced jalapeños that he does add to his pasta salad so it’s only red, yellow and orange bell peppers

    The first one surprised me honestly. After eating a spoonful of jalapeno seeds on a dare, i had the conclusion that only the ribs are spicy, i guess i was wrong

    I think the difference between guacamole and meatballs is that the meatball is cooked. I think warmth allows the capsaicin to dissolve fully into the fats and oils to make them spicy, as opposed to guacamole where they're probably more separated.
