Darn Hot Pepper Blog

This summer it was over 10o degrees in southern Illinois for a week or so and the 21 variety of specialty peppers grown at Rancho Bella Vista-Home of Darn Hot Peppers are having a ball.

The Mirasol, Thai Hot and Thai Dragons are sunning themselves looking straight up at the sun and smiling, the Pequins and Chiltepins are saying in Texas we usually play in 105 degrees, the long greens, anaheims and poblanos say this is regular southwest type of weather. And in Illinois we now consider Cobden the southern Illinois Home of Specialty Hot Pepper.

So welcome Chileheads and Pepper Lovers in Illinois. We at Darn Hot Peppers LLC have created this blog for our new found friends around the world. Share your thoughts and share your recipes, through this blog, of how you are using our pepper products and which products may be your favorite. We inturn will share your recipes with the rest of the world. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

We had a nice little get away last week. Took some time off and went out west to see Xav and Erica in Seattle.

It was a very short trip just enough time to goto the baby shower and lay out the plans and timeline for how soon we can expect to add more “little-pepper-pickers” to the family roster. Erica said that we needed to wait at least a year before KE could get to work, but Xav said that a year off is just plain laziness.

We also had time to talk about darn hot peppers and start planning some big ideas for next year. Well thats all for now, gotta get back to tending the farm
