After some contemplation on doing a glog this year I've decided to run at least one more. I've scaled back the variety of peppers again and have limited myself to three: - P. Dreadie Select bonnet - courtesy of Malarky - Bhut Orange Copenhagen (BOC) - courtesy of Malarky - Red Jolokia that I...

Back for yet another year! I've had two modestly successful grows with coco so far. I'm hoping to build on the knowledge gained and have an improved season (weather permitting) this year. At this point I've limited myself to a few basic peppers. I've got - Red Bhut - paper towel/baggie started...

Well it's father's day. I have some jerk sauce ready. I have a pork shoulder that I let Marinade overnight. I just fired up my lil Bradley and now it's time to sit back to sip on a beer. Pork on the rack and ready to go in The beer is for reference only. I haven't drank enough to try and...

Hello all, I haven't had much time to lurk around here as I have in the past. Seems like work and life are getting in the way of all my hobbies! We're only in May and we're already being hit with hot dry days. So much so that we're already battleing forest fires around the area. Since it's a...

Now that the new year is upon us and I've received my order for seeds, I figured I'd at least start my glog for 2015. I'm on the fence for how many varieties to grow at this point because I have very limited space. I'm definitely growing Jolokia's and J-MoA's like last year. These two peppers...

I've been away from the forum for some quite some time. Over the last 2.5 years I've been blessed with a son, have had to move to 2 different cities and transfer jobs twice. I really didn't have time or room to grow anything let alone focus on peppers. Now that I'm settled in and have a few...

Well, I've wanted to do this for some time and finally got around to it. I JUST finished my first batch of Franillab ice-cream. I made a basic French Vanilla ice-cream from a recipe in the Kitchenaid ice-cream mixer book, but I chopped up 6 orange habs and put them into the cream as it was being...

Well I managed to locate a steel drum today. I even got it for free and few pallets I can bust up so I can burn the junk out of it. It's about the only good thing to happen in the last few days considering work has gone absolutely sideways. Getting this thing turned into a UDS will be a nice...

Well I went out of town for 5 days and thought my Bhut's, Scorpions and Bonnets could manage without me for a bit. I watered heavily before I left, but I also had a fan set on them to run for 15 min a day for twice a day. No one else thought to check on them, not their fault though and I'm not...

I got this out of the Complete Curry Cookbook 250 Recipes from Around the World. I'm still not too sure what to make of this recipe. I've never had anything like it and I'm not usually one for cooking with pineapple. This one seemed to work though. I've grouped the ingredients into the order...

I did a little surfing around and had a few hit and miss vindaloo's. This one is pretty damn good though. It's a keeper! I changed the recipe around a bit from the original so that it's easier to follow. I hate it when you have the ingredients all over the place rather than grouped together...

I finally managed to get some time available to harvest some peppers. Some of them are smaller than they should be, but that's probably due to my short growing season and the small pots they were in. From top left to right: 7-Pot Jonah, Yellow SB, Carribian Red Hab FTSB, Fatalii, Chili...

Ok, so you've read the title and you've clicked this link anyways. I think we've clearly established that there's something seriously wrong with you. I mean who goes out looking for ladybug porn? That's just disturbing. Anyways here's the ladybug porn as promised... Bow-chick-a-bown-bown...

I haven't actually created a grow log for the year so I may as well get one started. I have 53 or so plants on the grow right now and have a few overwintered ones. My short growing season (approx 90 days) makes overwintering and early starts an absolute must. I'll try and get some pics up ASAP...

Follow instructions. Give it a minute or 2. I know you guys don't clean your computer screens very often, and it's hard to do the inside, so here is my present to you. Just click on the word "here" high lighted in RED above and presto the inside of your screen will be cleaned.

Kung Pao Chicken Adapted from Land of Plenty by Fuchsia Dunlop Serves 2 as a main entree, or 4 as part of a multi-course meal This is a quick meal to prepare. It takes about 1/2 hour from start to finish so if you are going to have it with rice, start the rice first (unless you're using the 5...

Holy mother of god. That is one hot pepper. I'm riding the rush right now. The back of my mouth is on absolute fire! I'm drooling more than my little boxer pup after she has a drink of water. My nose is running like mad as well. I don't want to close my mouth because it hurts my tongue and roof...

Here's the thing, I was given some dungeons crab by a chili head friend of mine, but I don't have a clue what the best thing to do with it is. I've never really cooked crab before. Other than 'ship it to me' does anyone have any good suggestions or recipes?

This is my mothers version of Chow Mien. She's made it for as long as I can remember and it's always been a hit. Cheap and easy to prepare it'll takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. There are no real hard and fast measurements for this dish. It's always just been a thrown together thing...

Who needs the Peter Pepper when you can grow habs like these two
