I hold the peppers down with a fork and cut it between the tines (sp?) of the fork, and repeat across so as to dice them. Serving forks work for larger peppers. Works great without any gloves.
we once had a dalmation (dumber than a box of rocks!) that loved to eat green beans and tomatos right off the plants.
One day, he got ahold of a habanero. Proceeded to run back and forth in the yard, rubbing his face and head on the grass. I finally got him stopped, and took some rubbing alcohol (knowing that the capsaicin is missible in EtOH) and got him somewhat cleaned off.
I say he was dumber than a box of rocks, because he proceeded to do the exact same thing less than a week later!

Good idea. Kind of obvious, when you think about it. Maybe that’s why it didn’t occur to me.

At first I thought this said, “using Humans as the meat source.”
When I was younger, the Osco drug store chain had the slogan “Osco Drug is people, people who care.” It was during a phase where everyone thought you had to say “people” in your slogan—“people helping people who care about people” and such.
And I always thought they should have hired Charlton Heston to scream in their commercials: Osco drug is MADE OUT OF PEOPLE!!! IIIIHIT’S PEEEOPLEEE!!!

“People helping people everyday. Kerr-McGee people: people like you, who care.”
As a child, I thought that they were implying that people like us didn’t care.
Not [u]Sambal Oelek[/u], surely? I use about a tablespoon of that on my burritos–along with jalapeño slices. It’s the most delicious hot pepper product in the world, IMNSHO. Sriracha is rather bland by comparison.
This reminds me one of my favorite episodes on Great Chefs of the West (the all-time best PBS cooking show ever, ever, ever).
They were going to do a cilantro pesto, with cilantro, garlic, almonds, and serrano chilis. The chef goes over to a food processor and says something like, “First we’ll chop up our serranos.” She then proceeds to drop a couple of full serranos into the the food processor and hits the power button a couple of times. Then she removes the food processor lid…
It was hilarious. You can see her straighten up, then her face contorts. Then she rushes out of the room, along with her partner. Next you see the GCW crew heading toward the door as the camera falls over. There was a fair amount of inarticulate verbalizing throughout.
I thought it was great that they left it in the final show. If those had been habaneros, they might not have made it out alive.
