Tepin Peppers Redux & a Delicious Recipe to Prepare “Pan de Miel y Mango con Salsa de Jengibre” 
I still remember the day when I found Adam's Tepin peppers: a Habanero Killer? report at the Hot Sauce Blog. Shortly before that I had discovered the chile piquin from Nicaragua (or, Melissa’s Nicaraguan Insanity Peppers as Adam calls them!) when visiting Brisas de Los Lagos, an ecological development owned by Dr. Ricardo Velásquez in Panamá.
After living in México for so many years, my hot tooth's expertise grew considerably. BUT,...I was happy to find that little hot devil that immediately challenged my taste-buds. It is not a rumor. It is very true that I almost lost my tongue when I ate the first one.
To make the long story short, ...I sent some "chile piquines" to Adam so he could judge for himself. You are going to love his Tepin Peppers Redux, so head over to the Hot Sauce blog and see him with your own eyes 
Now, let's sweeten up our day and lives with a delicious recipe to prepare "Pan de Miel y Mango, con salsa de Naranjilla y Jengibre" (Molasses and Mango Bread, served with a Ginger-Naranjilla Sauce). In the tropics, naranjilla is a cousin of the orange with a distinctive aroma and flavor. You can substitute orange or mandarin juice. Serve this truly unique yeast bread, cold or warm with it's spicy and aromatic sauce-mate.

The Gilded Fork: “Rosca de Reyes Tropical al Cafe”
I have loved The Gilded Fork since it was Gastronomic Meditations! Now I am delighted to announce that I am officially part of the Gilded Fork's Test Kitchen Team!
It's a privilege to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer, Mark, Alder, Kelly, Eydie, and Monica.
This month's indulgent ingredients are Coffee and Chocolate, and my latest delicious recipe has been published: "Rosca de Reyes Tropical al Café" (Three Kings Tropical Bread with Coffee).
Rosca Rey de Reyes, or Rosca de los Reyes, is eaten in México, Puerto Rico, and Portugal on Twelfth Night (January 6th), celebrated in the Catholic religion as the day the Three Kings arrived in Bethlehem bearing gifts for Jesus of Nazareth. A tiny ceramic doll, coin, or bean may be hidden in the bread, and traditionally the person who finds it throws a party on Candlemass (February 2nd), or is in charge of preparing the “Rosca” for the following year.

What’s cooking in my kitchen?
There is a beautiful Thanksgiving poem waiting for you. Hope you like it!
I have always loved the writings by Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers. He has the distinction of being fired from every FM radio station in Tokyo - one of them three times! BUT, the best part is that he loves food. Do not miss his "Photographic trip to the grocery store", "Eating out in Tokyo for about $25 a day", "Japanese sandwiches are GO!", and two of my favorites articles: "So you want to be a sushi snob", and "The Future of Beef or 'Buddy Ever Eaten a Blowfish?". His new book "Schizophrenic in Japan: An American Ex-Pat's Guide to Japanese and American Society/Politics & Humor" is now on sale!
In the first photo I am showing off my new custom made plates I purchased in Ecuador. They follow the same technique used in Mexico to make "vidrio soplado", that are actually hand made, and hand painted glass pieces. Sin duda, a work of art. I prepared "Camarones al Ajillo", a traditional Panamanian dish that goes perfectly with steamed white rice.
Since we have access to wonderful seafood and fish..., I prepare them quite often. In the second photo, take a look at my "Mariscos a la Parrilla", or grilled seafood dish including shrimp, oysters, clams, corvina, salmon, and conch. As you can see, IF I have the pleasure to feed you,...you wont leave hungry!
Will be back with the recipes SOON!
Hugs,
Melissa
