HateDust - 1996
The HateDust Project est. 2014

IN 1996 I BEGAN EXPERIMENTING WITH DRYING CHILES AND MIXING THEM AS A SEASONING.

I WOULD GIVE THIS SEASONING TO FAMILY & FRIENDS

100% ORGANIC HEAT

  • I combine 5 pepper varieties:
  • Ghosts, Scorpions, Habs, Thai, & DeArbols
  • Mixed w SeaSalt from Kauai
  • Grind together w "secret" spices
  • Can be used a variety of tortuous ways..
The idea of the HATEDUST project came about when knifemaker J.Horton and I were talking about creative uses for blossoming pepper plants. I mentioned to J that I had, in the long past, taken habaneros and ground them into pepper shakers for family. In the midst of conversing about an idea I had about selling them for Charity, Jeremy mentioned that fellow knifemaker Sean Kendrick would be selling Steel Flame Dog Tags at G5-Vegas to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (of which his niece n nephew are afflicted).

MY FRIEND, KNIFE-MAKER SEAN KENDRICK
