Out and about this weekend

[Drac]

Hi all,

Got out to a festival and trade show.  Last night was a hot pepper trade show here in DFW.  A great time for pepper heads!  Thought I'd share some pics. 

Starting of with my favorite vendor -





A man taking the Defcon 0 Sludge challenge.  He is getting about two drops.  Give you an idea he has upped the heat with this batch so it's running 3,000,000 scoville.  Left him red, sweating, and a squeaky voice for about 30 minutes after -



Here's one that supports puppies!  Amy and I work with the local rescue society so we are puppy people -





Some misc vendors, all hot pepper in some form -





Bacon ketchup!!!!! -



Some booth babes.  First for some cigars and second for the sponsor, hot pepper Southern Comfort -








More to come...

Some booze related vendors.  First is various jellies made with stout, wine and brandy -



Beer pickles -



Beer cheese (where did I hear about this recently :D ) -



A couple more.  These people talked me into trying some ghost pepper powder -



An unusual one, this one is curry based -



Bacon sweets.  An apple dipped in caramel, wrapped in bacon and dipped in chocolate.  A chocolate and bacon filled cup -



Some live entertainment, singer.  Sounded very much like Fleetwood Mac -



And to finish the night a cooking demonstration.  He made quail stuffed with Bree and habanero and wrapped in bacon.  Seared, baked and served in a pomegranate, pepper and wine sauce.  Very tasty!!



Moving on to chocolate...
