Peppermeister Roulette 3: Duel to the Death

August 14, 2013 by rachelocal

Last year, I played the first round of Peppermeister Roulette when the venerable Peppermeister gave me a bag of his colorful, home-grown, organic hot peppers. In February of this year, I played a second round with another gift from Peppermeister – dried peppers. Each time, I proved my pepper prowess. But there was one more pepper I needed to dominate – PEPPERMEISTER HIMSELF. With fire in my eyes, I challenged him to a Peppermeister Roulette duel. Who will win? YOU […]

I’ve Been Freshly Pegged

April 17, 2013 by rachelocal

Pegged as what? Insane and nutso. And a darn good hot pepper eater. Peg from Peg-o-Leg’s Ramblings is featuring my Peppermeister Roulette video for her series, “Freshly Pegged: THIS one should have been Freshly Pressed.” For those of you not in the WordPress world, being Freshly Pressed is a big deal. The intelligent, creative, hard-working editors at WordPress choose a few posts each day to highlight on their extra special Freshly Pressed page. It’s quite an honor. It’s also quite […]

Let’s Taste Some Wine!

November 7, 2012 by rachelocal

Rachel’s Table Local Red Wine Challenge Join me as I blind taste test some local wines from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia! {Disclaimer and Spoiler Alert (watch the riveting video first to see which wine gets my highest rating): Seeing as I could not find a local Zinfandel (this type of vine does not exist in the mid-Atlantic states), I chose to compare the California Zinfandels with simple red table wines. In all fairness to the local wineries, maybe their reds […]

Let’s Play Peppermeister Roulette

September 13, 2012 by rachelocal

When playing Truth or Dare as a precocious middle schooler, I would ALWAYS take the dare. With gusto.

I’m taking applications for a new husband, any iPhone user, videographer until 8 pm (EST). A steady hand and ability to edit all content down to a more acceptable two minutes are a must.) Next week, I’ll knock your ‘stache glasses off with recipes using Peppermeister’s homegrown peppers. Peppermeister, can you […]
