Chiltepín is a native chile that produces small, round peppers atop large, highly branched plants.  Sometimes known a Tepín or bird chile, the chiltepin pepper forms a dense shrub that can be found growing wild throughout parts of the southwestern United States, Central and South America, and the Carribean.  It is best known for its tiny, round peppers.  In fact, the name "chiltepin" is a compound of the Nahuatl word for "flea" and "chile", an accurate description given the tiny size of its peppers.  Don't be fooled by their diminutive stature, though, these chiles pack a powerful punch as our children discovered just after these pictures were taken (scroll for a good story).  Chiltepin are most often dried and used to make a variety of sauces and seasonings, though they can also be used fresh to make very hot salsa (50,000 to 100,000 Scoville.)  The Chiltepin pepper matures approximately days after transplant.  Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.

Sillyheads, Not Chiliheads

Photo shoot days are always long.  In a matter of hours, we need to harvest, prep, stage and photograph around 30 heirloom varieties.  And since almost all of our shoots occur in the hour leading up to sunset, known by photographers as the golden hour, it usually means that dinner's going to be late.  Not a problem—we'll soon have a whole table of produce to snack on.  Dinner solved!  Or at least, that's the plan.

Shortly after these pictures were taken, our 6-year-old, thinking they were Texas Tiny tomatoes, grabbed a chiltepin pepper from the table and popped it in her mouth.  Now, if you've read the description above, you already know that the chiltepin is a very hot pepper, around 40 times hotter than a jalapeno.  This is not a good situation.

Well, to make matters worse, we soon found out that our 2-year-old, ever-aiming to emulate his big sister, had done just the same.  And so, before we knew it, we had two children running to the house crying, screaming, and dry heaving.   Once inside, I suggested the oldest drink some milk to calm the burn and then turned my attention to the toddler.  When I returned to check on her, I realized she had drank half-a-gallon of milk!  You can imagine what happened next. 

I'm not going to fully elaborate on the full extent of this chaotic scene, except to add that the 2-year-old was born with a cow's milk allergy.  Although he had, by this time, outgrown the allergy, he's never loved milk.  Nope, this child only nurses.  Looks like we're all going to be in this together.

In the end, it all worked out.  Well, after an hour or so of chaos.  And I think the kids learned an important lesson about eating things which they cannot positively identify.  Or at least we can hope.

Great Quality
Size: 2 Channel-3 ft, Size: 2 Channel-3 ft
Outstanding quality a very reasonable price. I was able to check the headunit RCA was showing almost 5 volts which was rated on the output of the headunit. I’m not an expert however i am assuming you don’t have to add so much gain. I’m very pleased and i will save this seller.

Pretty good cables for what they are
Size: 2 Channel-3 ft
I purchased these Skar Audio cables here on Amazon because they were an outstanding price. They shipped very quickly. When I open the package mind you they do work pretty good but when I open the package I've noticed that the gold plated connecting points that are supposed to connect to your amplifier and your receiver are a little flimsy and don't fit as tight as they're supposed to so I was concerned that bumps on the road whatever would cause them to loosen up so I had to squeeze them together a little bit so I can make them fit tighter on the amplifier but so far so good and I've had no problems with them. I've had no weird humming no weird crackling or any kind of connection issues whatsoever since I've done this. Just something to take note. Other than that, for the price these are pretty good cables and if you want to spend a little more here on Amazon you can get better cables. I know Skar Audio makes pretty good speakers for what they're worth and they definitely make pretty decent amps. I'm just not quite sure about there quality on cables and such. Just my honest opinion. I know people that love everything that they make so it's all subjective and a matter of opinion. Would I recommend them? For the price definitely.

Another Quality Product from Skar Audio
Size: 1-Female to 2-Male Y-Adapter-1 ft
High Quality RCA. I needed a 1 Male to 2 Female RCA Y adapter, and me not reading correctly ordered this. However - I managed to make this work at my AMP instead of the head unit. Great sound quality, Cable is a good gauge and matches my RCA's already ran in the car. Connects easy and had this installed within minutes. Thanks Skar!
