@Millet, I can see you have been touch typing again. Most keyboards have a Braille dash on their F and J keys to make you feel you’re at home.

Great concept as a marinade for the liempo. I make a Thai-ish marinade by throwing several jalapeños, a whole bunch of cilantro, lime, fish sauce and sugar in a food processor. I’ve used the marinade for salmon and chicken, baked or grilled.

These jalapenos are great chopped up added to the usual mix of tomatoes, onions, soy sauce and vinegar served over itlog na pula. I love adding cilantro or wan soy for that extra zing. I am as it happens on vacation here in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Taco stands everywhere! I notice they grill the jalapenos to tame its heat as well as draw out its natural sweetness. Really, really good with grilled meats like your liempo. In many US restaurants these are served as appetizers. The jalapenos are slit on its side and de-seeded, stuffed with fillings such as cheese or crab/cheese mixture, breaded or dipped in batter and deep fried. Muy sabroso!

Gejo…jalapeno peppers…besides the usual green ones that turn red in time, there are yellow jalapenos as well that turn orange and then red. In addition, there is also a PURPLE jalapeno, though it is more of aubergine.

There is also a variety of jalapenos called FOOLED YOU Jalapenos. It doesn’t have the heat associated with jalapenos. So, you can have a bet with someone saying you could eat a dozen jalapenos just like that without blinking an eye or even a drop of water!!!!!

Footloose…major MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! As Will Smith would say…..I GOT TO GET ME ONE OF THOSE !!!!!!!! You are soooooo tight, Footloose! I very rarely get excited over a plant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, I am referring to the seeds that I could plant for next year. Even if I get hold of the seeds in the next few months, it is too late to start them!…Gejo, I will share my loot of seeds with you if I get hold of them! And yes, jalapenos turn red given enough sunshine. heat! My Italian gardener friends start their seeds indoors in February and they go by the full moon! Do you do the same, Gejo, wait for the full moon to start your seeds? I do! My garlic are soooooo healthy since I planted them when it was a full moon! My tomato and Tuscan melon seedlings are doing good at the moment.
