2018 09 11 – I’m enjoying some Dairy Queen while I watch The Simpsons. The chicken fingers are coated in buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. The Scoville scale, used for determining spiciness is based on the concentration of capsaicin, a neuropeptide. While Franks only has a rating of 400 to 500, pure capsaicin, which some hot sauces are made of reach 16 million.

2018 09 12 – A stir fry of broccoli, onions and bell peppers over a bed of rice with some teriyaki sauce. Although I’m using teriyaki sauce, teriyaki is a cooking technique used in Japan in which foods are broiled or grilled, glazed with soy sauce, mirin (type of rice wine) and sugar.

2018 09 14 – A vibrant purple morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) stands out amongst the green leaves along the side of the house in Fort Frances. According to Wikipedia morning glory seeds have a historical use as a psychedelic, which is why commercial seeds are coated in a toxic chemical.
