Favorite Hot Sauce.... GO!

Canned jalapenos? No thanks.

Ditto on that!
I used to think eating jalapeños right out of the jar was a feat. I was so wrong. Fresh chilis are always heaps spicier & tastier than those in a jar or can.
We get Thai chillies once in awhile & I put them in the freezer, but even that takes some of the "stank" off of them, which is luckily revived by throwing some holy basil in the dish.

Slice up habaneros, or jalapenos if those are too hot, drizzle lightly with honey, pop in oven for a few minutes till they get a little brown on the edges.
Take out, enjoy.
Or, dry out some ghost peppers so they're almost crunchy, and chomp on those as a nice snack. They are still blazing hot, but a little less than when they are fresh. You could do the honey drizzle on those too, maybe even maple syrup.

As a result of this thread and @Funky Ghost talking about wasabi, I found the Chinese hot mustard in our fridge and had me a nice big spoonful.
I like to put it all the way in the back on my mouth, without touching my tongue at first.
I feel so good now, I may do this to start every day, or when I'm torpid.

Re! Cucumbers. About where are you? They do need lots of light and water.

Santa Cruz, but my mom in the East Bay grows veggies as does my brother in Berkeley. And my buddy has a lot of room to grow stuff, and lives 30 minutes inland from me. He still gets the moisture, but with tons of direct sun. My family gets more sun than I do, but it's much more moist down here. My buddy's place is the best mixture of morning and evening moisture and hotter, sunnier days.
