After enduring a night of no power, 70mph winds, trees and shingles flying
everywhere, and a day of clean up, tarping the roof, felling broken trees
and all that other fun post-storm activity, my life was brightened by the
presence of a brown envelope in the mail containing a generous sampling of
Calvin's pepper powder.
After reading all the positive posts regarding the powder to actually have
the substance in my hands was exhilarating. I tried it plain, well with a
little finger flavor mixed in, and on a dinner of baked chicken.
Calvin you've captured so many of those hard to explain flavors that draw
us to Chile-Headonism. It's a nice, rather subtle blend of flavors. I am
anxious to try it on as many different things as I can.
How about calling it Calvin's Magnificent Seven for the seven Capsaicinoids
present in the powder. Maybe a bit pretentious? Not until you've tried it!
Now, with my 4oz. bottle of Jim's Apple-smoked Hab powder and my modest
quantity of Calvin's pepper blend I am an embarassment of riches.
Now if the roofers would just get here........
