You know that feeling you get as the sun is setting, the weekend is winding down, and you just wanna get out and ride (the Ciocc!) ... and, along comes an article that you just have to read? 

This is one of  'em. Hear the expression "too long, didn't read" tl;dr? Well, try taking your eyes away from the magic that came from Pelizzoli's lips as he failed to…

Yep, all these peppers you're harvesting just about now have more than just the obvious use. A coffeeshop buddy named Bill told us yesterday that jalapeno lemonaid sounded…
