Folks,

    feeling adventurous?
here's an excerpt from a NYTimes.com item "New Wave Cooking"
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/28/dining/28WAVE.html

    " An encounter earlier this year with a bright red pixie dust at the 
Manhattan restaurant
WD-50 had encouraged us: the powder had a fruity, exotic and deliciously 
intense pepper
flavor. It was in fact a common bell pepper, Wylie Dufresne, WD-50's 
chef, revealed -
dehydrated in a simple device you can buy on eBay for less than the 
price of a fancy
cocktail, and then pulverized in a coffee grinder. If we could learn to 
tease sophisticated
flavors from everyday sources, the exercise would be worth the risk. "

peppers featured prominently, and the dehydrator, coffee grinder & the 
stovetop smoker ...
geez ... where have we seen these before ?!
good read.
