(no subject)
Made a vegetarian taco salad for dinner lastnight. Yum. Instead of meat, I used a mixture of fresh-cooked black beans, quinoa, and sweet corn. Topped with the standard stuff like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, guacamole, greek yogurt, corn chips, pomegranate salsa, and a little taco sauce. XY turned his into nachos of sorts with tortilla chips instead.
I also made some "Bread and Butter Jalapenos" (you know, like b&b cucumbers/pickles). They were really fucking hot yesterday so I only ate a few slices in my salad. Amazing. I ate a few on a breakfast sandwich earlier too. So good. I had made bread and butter pickles several times before, so I figured what the hell, I'll try a small batch of jalapenos. Turned out excellent, but super hot like I said... but also with a sweetness. I guarantee the whole jar will be devoured very quickly here. Both of us love extra spicy stuff. But the sweetness helps tame the heat quite nicely. I will totally make this again in the future.
Dani's "Bread and Butter" Jalapenos
Ingredients:
7-8 extra large jalapenos
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
dash of ground ginger
dash of garlic powder
Directions:
- Thinly slice the jalapenos into discs. Remove a lot of the seeds, but be sure to leave some for extra heat.
- In small pot, blend the cider vinegar with the sugar and all of the spices. Let stand a few minutes. Stir.
- Add the jalapenos and red onion to the pot.
- Cook over medium heat until boiling. Do not breathe the vapors.
- Continue to boil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often. Do not breathe the vapors.
- Remove from heat.
- Store in jar with tight fitting lid.
- If you want to save it for later, give the sealed jar a hot water bath.
- Enjoy!

This makes enough to fill a 16 ounce jar.
Notes:
** WEAR LATEX GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE JALAPENOS. **
** IF YOU HAVE BREATHING PROBLEMS, WEAR A FACE MASK. **
** SAFETY GOGGLES ARE ALSO A GOOD IDEA. **
If you don't follow my suggestions, and you end up blinded or crying, or having an asthma attack, or end up with balls on fire later, don't blame me. Lol.
