I do that when I make hubby's lemon meringue pie. Or pumpkin pie. I have found a GF crust in the store that he "doesn't hate." But he said it kind of ruined the pie experience for him, so I won't buy it again.

Exactly! Best to find something that doesn't even want flour.

I do like the gluten free Graham crackers ground up and put into a sawdust pie. Tastes as good as the gluten-full version.

That's the place that has peppers so hot they can't be used but by very few brave souls. A tiny pinch for a big pot of chili would be enough for most of us. When I was about 10 years old I went into my grandmothers orange grove and picked her some wild peppers that she would put in a bottle of vinegar and when ready sprinkle it on greens and fresh black eyed peas and such. Being a carefree kid I never thought about wearing gloves and rubbed my sweating eyes with my hands. All she had on hand for the pepper burn was Noxzema. Lesson learned the hard way.

I remember as a kid watching my dad, grandfather and uncles all sitting down to the table whenever they all got together and having a pepper eating contest. I remember a lot of sweating and face wiping. Can't recall who won but I remember my grandfather was the one who always instigated it

We used to sit in the break room years ago during lunch break and break out the peppers. It's a wonder we made it back out into the plant for the rest of the shift.

I brought back a gallon can of hot peppers out of Mexico and opened them up one night at the lunch break. Don't remember taking any home.

Hard to believe that was 40 or more years ago.

I didn't get any bell pepper planted in the spring but started plants today for a fall crop. Mixed colors of green, yellow, orange, and red. I like them in a stir fry where they don't get cooked really done but just sort of wilted some. Still crunchy in the middle.

Sounds delicious

I like the way Panda Express uses them in a lot of their chicken and beef stir fry dishes.

Of course I like the hot and spicy stir fry dishes to with both hot and sweet pepper in them.
