I recently tried "wok fired shishito peppers" at Sunda in Chicago and found your recipe while trying to figure out how to copy them. After doing it a couple times I've realized I can sear them just as well in a really hot cast iron skillet, which is less work than the blow torch. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.

The engraving barely scratches the surface of the aluminum. I still recommend Etchstar, now Coveroo: http://www.coveroo.com/. Hi Kirby, yes, absolutely.

It's been almost a year. Does it STILL work fine? Thinking of having this done, but scared to death of, as you aptly almost put it, putting an expensive chunk of hardware on a bench to be selectively burned.

Called verzion to find out what was up. They gave me the company name that charged the phone which was TooLazy.net. They gave me the phone number and I called, but you guessed it, no answer, just a recorded message. Such cowards. Called verzion back and told them to block all further text messaging companies. Then we went round and round about getting the $9.99 charge taken off. Finally after much talk, they agreed. This is about the prinicipal of this TooLazy company preying on children and letting the parents pay for it. They are making millions on that $9.99 charge. They need to be stopped and that's why I wanted the inital charge removed from my phone bill. I can't believe Verizon and probably all other phone companies do business with such theives.

However, about one in a dozen will be quite spicy (I read 20 times hotter than a jalapeño, but I don't think they're all that hot). Most of the peppers are mild (like green bell peppers).

Clark Sat, 24 Jan 2009 22:23:05 +0000 http://chrisgagne.com/?p=351#comment-219 Pure love, mobil messenger, toolazy.net, tone central.... Those 4 got my daughter's screen name and I ended up being charged 9.99 per month on my cell phone bill for each one; nearly $40 for unsolicited junk. When I called Verizon, they gave me 800 numbers to call to cancel the "subscription", and of course there was no one to talk to on the other end of the line. I ended up calling Verizon back and asked them to block those types of text messages on our phones and nicely asked them to credit my bill since it makes no sense to me for them to allow that sort of thing. She did so, but I think I'm still going to call the Attorney General. It seems like such a scam to me. Pure love, mobil messenger, toolazy.net, tone central….
