Hiho... Bleedin' Eye Scott here... hope all's well
To the CH'er that asked if anyone knew anything about chile peppers and
depression...
Let's put some scenarios together here and you can draw your own conclusions
(everyone feel free to pipe in here....!)
-Putting together a pot of venison chili with big chunks of tomato, fresh
garlic, walla walla sweet onions, flat beer, a couple big dashes of Dave's
Insanity, floating green serranos. Cooked for several hours and then put into a
REAL bowl (not those wussie soup bowls...) and eaten with fresh baked sourdough
baguette and McMennamins Hammerhead Ale....
-Getting up Sunday morning after seeing a 4 hour Widespread Panic groovin'
boogie show and using 2 dozen eggs to make huevos fortified with three cheeses,
green onion, chopped garlic, black beans, crumbled hot sausage, and special
tequila rimfire purification hab sauce. Sharing this with real friends on the
deck watching each other sniff runny noses....
This scientifically proves that there is no doubt that chile peppers have
positive medicinal effects on sanity... at least it can make you forget your
problems for a little while!
So when your feelin' blah.. have no direction... no motivation... get out your
special prepared chile butter, smear it on your leftover sourdough from the
chile, and let your depression melt away in a wave of endorphins...
Now you all behave...
