make a blow your face off chicken goulash

cook up the peppers with other green/red/yellow peppers, hella onion, garlic, chicken bits, zucchini, carrots and tomoatoes, maybe a can of mixed beans if you are feeling good about yourself
then throw in a can of crushed tomatoes and juice, maybe a lil extra water and then add lots of paprika, TONS of tumeric, salt&pepper and cook marrily away

then at the end add some rice or millet or something

you could add less liquid to this and cook it in a pan and make it into a wrap filling of sorts too with some salsa and sour cream added

i think i might try something less complicated than that, but i like the general idea


i wish i had some more money at the time so i could have bought some regular peppers

You cook 'em with water, you dolt! ;-)
O.K. substitute the peppers for habaneros in this and let me know how you liked it:

Hot peppers and spider bites cause similar pain
New research suggests that tarantula venom and capsaicin, the stuff that makes hot peppers hot, both fire up the same pain receptor on nerve cells. The particular cell-surface receptor is triggered by chemicals and also temperature. The research, conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, and published in the scientific journal Nature, could someday inform the development of better pain killers. Meanwhile, I expect to see a new brand of Spider Venom Hot Sauce in a matter of moments. From Science News:
(Molecular biologist David) Julius notes that because triggering the receptor produces such strong pain sensations, it's not surprising that organisms as distantly related as pepper plants and tarantulas use the same defensive mechanism.

"Different organisms have figured out how to tap this site as a way of telling predators, 'You won't be comfortable if you mess with me,'" he says.
