Well, I might be more tightly wound but those do look exactly the same. I must say that mine are very well made and have not bent despite a lot of use.
First of all, I am a wuss. They say that shishitos are mostly mild but about every 10th one is hot. I found a hot one yesterday and today when I was eating leftovers. Hot to me means I need to find some dairy, stat. I ate some cheese (i dont have milk ever) and that did the trick. I am probably less heat tolerant than many. I love these for the flavor .

There is nothing wrong with not being able to take spicy foods. I'm not sure I understand how spicy those peppers might be, but I suspect my tolerance is likely higher than yours then. I was just confused as I have never found shishitos spicy. Then again, I don't find milk helps deal with the spicy stuff either. If I start hitting stuff that I can't handle (eg, ghost or carolina reaper), I usually go for pop/soda (whatever you want to call it). That said, When they came up with the scoville scale, they used sugar water as the weapon of choice to calm the spiciness down.

Interesting.

Well I sure as hell can't eat a ghost pepper!
Shishitos are small, mild peppers from Japan. Their flavor is sweet and slightly smokey, not spicy—but careful! One in ten shishito peppers will be hot.Aug 13, 2019
Normally I don't get a hot one but this batch had about 3. Soda to me sounds like it would work like water does which is just to spread the heat around your mouth and not tame it. Bread would work too.

You cut off the beer list!

I wish I could find sand dabs on the east coast. Absolutely right up there with the best gulf fish.

Simple dinner including below . Also fish ( selar ) stuffed with chilli , fried fish ( tenggiri ) fillet and Chinese cabbage . Longans for fruit

Oh yes , had a sardines puff

the sand dabs were great. Boneless!
so here’s what… I took a photo of the beer list. I love draft beer - it’s absolutely something that I CANNOT ever get at home. Everyone can buy wine and pour it at home. Everyone can make cocktails at home with ingredients from 3 grocery stores and free online videos of recipe guidance.
I ordered a draft MODELO NEGRO - a black modelo. I’ve never seen draft modelo in my part of CA. And the server has to return and eek tell me with a very decent apology that their tapper is broken - on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend! Omg. Yes draft beer for me. I settled for the spicy Ancho margarita.

I have canned sardines because I want to make a spaghetti sardines pasta dish that I had at Caffe macaroni (Columbus st, Sf) a few years ago and I’ve still yet to cook this. How was your sardines puff?

You may want to try windowpane flounder. They taste very similar to sand dabs...in my opinion. There isn’t a fishery for them here on the east coast, all specimens are by catch...when targeting winter or summer flounder. From what I’ve read, they are also caught in the Gulf...so good luck!

Thanks. I’ll have to talk to the local fishmonger: Bubba’s Crabs. I’ve had fresh gulf flounder. Still prefer the sand dabs I’ve been served in and around The Monterrey Ca peninsula.

Get yourself a growler and take it to your local brewery. In Alabama and Florida there are taps at some liquor stores for growler refills.

Thanks on growler - I really don’t drink much at home; just social with friends or occasional restaurants on vacation with family. Super fussy.

I enjoyed my sand dabs - they were specific Monterey sand dabs. It means a lot that you like them!! Tells me that I made a greater choice than realized. It’s like when I found out that Jaimito loves robbins cherries jubilee ice cream.

Just be sure to drink the growler within a few days.

McCormick style brisket! The pulled pork was catered.

I took a screen shot of the menu. I'll be trying that Pear Elderflower Spritz in the near future. We recently had St. Germain Cocktails (sparkling wine, St. Germain, club soda, twist).
