Tried the Datil Mango today, needed to up the dosage since it isn't as hot as Scorpion's Ghost. It's a lot more peppery than I expected, I though it was going to taste more fruity. It kinda tastes like these:

Not as good as Ghost, but I'm liking it.

Love those especially the extra hot variety. And mixed with vodka yummy. Not koskis but good tasting ones it's much better made from quality components than anything you can buy in Alko and 99 % of restaurants that mix their own from some cheap swill. With the tragedy being that almost anything you can get in Tallinn is better tasting and dirt cheap compared to Finnish normal selection.

That Datil Mango has to be great if it resembles Tyrkisk peber.

It's not quite like them, but it does have the same sort of "pepperyness".

Which sounds tasty an awesome at the same time

I have a sweet tooth so jams are great IMO. French Confiture Bonne Maman Figues Blanches Fruits Choicis fig jam is aswesome!!! Very fresh fruity taste and not overly sweet. Yes despite being a sweet tooth i like fruity real tasting not over the top sweetness even better than punch your face get holes in the teeth from all the sugar sweetness. Which also works in some cases it's all about what to accompany with. Punch in the face overly sweet Dronningholm strawberry jam from Sweden is great for ice cream and pancakes but the less full bodied taste with lighter toned down sweetness of the fig jam is a more realistic and all round suitable additive to foods than hot chile type overdose. Which can be fun as a trick but not always as a rule. In Finland you get Dronningholm everywhere and the fig jam at least at Stockmann.

Slow-roasted & pulled green jackfruit sandwiches with shoestring carrot, golden raisin, & harissa slaw. Freaking fantastically meat analogicious!!! I've found the new vegetarian option for pig pickin' events I cater.

This stuff along with some salt and black pepper kettle chips is the bomb...

I woke up early this a.m. & baked two dozen scratch black chocolate cupcakes with mini chocolate chips, rich-ass fudge frosting, and chocolate jimmies for my daughter's class to nom in celebration of her impending birthday. Also baked one dozen red chocolate/almond cupcakes with peanut butter filling, chocolate ganache, and peanut butter buttercream. Making homemade dark chocolate peanut butter cups tonight to adorn each in preparation for her party tomorrow afternoon. Make-your-own-pizza party for six 7-8 year olds should be interesting…

Last night's dinner:
heart of romaine, baby arugula, & celery leaf salad with orange dragon dressing
pulled jackfruit carnitas tacos with pickled red onion, fresh avocado, and bhut jolokia pico de gallo
braised mixed greens with turnips, Walla Walla onions, & cayenne chiles
beautifully-molded jasmine rice tadig with pistachios & golden sultanas

VR, you ever make pressure cooker hamine eggs before? If so how did they turn out?

[veganray]

Never in a pressure cooker (I can't see the gain in doing so - you're looking to maintain a 150-ishºF temp, not a >212ºF one), but a crock pot on hi for about 10 hours makes 'em perfect.
