My neighbor's pepper garden has turned into a monthly endurance test for our block

He keeps leaving bags of Carolina Reapers on my porch, and I'm running out of ways to use them without scorching my taste buds. Any creative recipes or challenges I can try to make this fun?

PSA: Abandoning my old 'finish first' mentality during spice trials led to a much richer (and less painful) hobby.

I've discovered that pacing myself and actually tasting the layers of heat (instead of just gulping it down) has not only boosted my genuine enjoyment but also oddly prepared me better for those insane final rounds.

DAE's aunt tried to one-up everyone with a homemade pepper extract and now Thanksgiving is ruined?

Her RECKLESS challenge led to three family members spending the holiday in urgent care with stomach issues.

Just realized our weekly spicy wing CHALLENGE is the only thing getting the whole department to INTERACT face-to-face anymore.
