What's a good way I could get my hands on some scotch bonnets as an east coast american?

despite being a millennial, coriander is pretty cool

just got attacked by the sleepies

it sucks that civ 6 cleopatra is so hot given that her AI almost always chooses fascism in the late game

severe weather warning ​

The chili been cooking for almost three hours now. I went to take an evening walk so I turned on the oven to 275 degrees farenheit and once the oven reached that temp, I gave the chili a stir and put it in there--I got back after 50 minutes or so.

The flavors are starting to develop nicely. For a little extra oomph I decided to add some Vodka, since tomatoes and alcohol are a powerful combo (the alcohol from the beer should have nearly cooked out by now). I also added a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar to brighten things up and I also added a healthy serving of nutritional yeast, which is an incredibly delicious source of umami that only vegans use for some reason

The vodka here is pepper vodka my roommate has been experimenting with, where you extract pepper flavor in liquid form in essentially the same way vanilla extract is made from vanilla beans. they generously let me borrow it for the chili ​​

I gave it one final taste test and these ingredients really brightened it up, it's gonna taste SO DAMN GOOD after sitting in my fridge overnight :D

the house smells amazing right now ​​

Oh yeah let's also add some MSG because I'm a grown ass adult who deserves nice things

Oh! I forgot to mention I deglazed with Kentucky Breakfast Stout, a bitter, chocaltey imperial stout from Michigan I love.

Bitter hops can be a bit risky to use in a dish like this but I've always used half a bottle and it's never been an issue. It's become a sort of tradition for me every time I make an extravagant chili ​​
