The Merciless Pepper of Quetzalacatenango

In an effort to alleviate the congestion in my head, I thought it would be helpful to look to my mini-farm for some home remedy in the form of Cayenne Peppers.

Horseradish and wasabi have always done well when it comes to helping clear my sinuses, so I thought I’d chomp down on one of my homegrown peppers to get things flowing.

Here’s what I discovered:

• I can successfully grow something delicious and useful.
• The hypothesis worked beautifully (though only temporarily) and perhaps too well.

Conclusion: these peppers are super hot, but also super useful.

I’m about to put some homegrown stevia in a cup of tea and see how that goes. I’ll let you know.

Thai Basil Chicken Tacos with Rooster Sour Cream and Cilantro

This was a little experiment I threw together after thinking about what to do with the Thai basil I’ve been growing. The result was much tastier than I anticipated, and so I am happy to share it here. Most of these ingredient portions are approximate, so feel free to adjust to your tastes. Enjoy!

• 1 lb. Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast
• 1 ea. Green and Red Bell Pepper
• 2 Jalapenos
• Small Corn Tortillas
• Fresh cilantro to taste

Marinade:

• 1/4 Cup fresh Thai basil
• 3-5 leaves fresh sweet basil
• 3 chopped garlic cloves
• 3 Tsp. olive oil
• 1/2 Cup soy sauce
• lemon zest
• pinch sea salt
• Pinch Pepper

Rooster Sour Cream:

• 3 Tsp. Sriacha “Rooster” sauce
• 1 Cup Low fat Sour Cream

Cut peppers into strips and set aside.

Slice chicken into 1/2 inch strips and set aside.

Chop basil and combine with marinade ingredients. Stir thoroughly and mix with sliced chicken, let marinade for 15 - 20 minutes.

Stir fry chicken in a wok with 2-3 Tbsp. olive oil for 5-7 minutes or until brown. Add in peppers and stir fry until desired crispness.

Toast some tortillas while your basil chicken is simmering, then mix together Rooster sauce and sour cream. 

Top tortillas with stir fry, Rooster sour cream, and fresh cilantro.

Voila!

Of course, you can modify this depending on how much you want to eat or serve. Just scale ingredients accordingly and experiment.

Cat what are you doing. You are not a towel. You do not even like water. Get off of that.

CAT DON’T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT. IT’S YOUR LIFE. GO AHEAD AND BE A TOWEL. FUCK THE SYSTEM. YOU’RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION. 

CAT, DONT LISTEN TO THEM. YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY!

THATS NOT EVEN A TOWEL RACK

ITS LIKE A PIPE OR SOME SH!T

DON’T LISTEN PIPE! YOU CAN BE A TOWEL RACK IF YOU BELIEVE! YOU AND CAT CAN BE TOWEL AND TOWEL RACK, BEST FRIENDS FOREVER, NOT LISTENING TO ANYONE WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE.

GOOD JOB TOWEL, YOU CAN BE A CAT JUST LIKE THOSE OTHER CATS! DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE!
