RYMERPT 2016 LIBRARY GARDEN

IF YOU HAVE A LIBRARY AND A GARDEN WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?

Workin on the library. Got two bookshelves and three large storage bins for $100. Making big progress. I may be able to plant seeds tonight. Now I will have room for the seedlings in the library. Library is a cat free zone ( its ok I haven't taught the cat to read yet anyway.) Seedlings will be safe.

Thanks for joining me on my journey!!!

This glog will be picture heavy and full of lots of highs and lows. ( my life tends to rollercoaster quite a bit)

If you have followed my last two years here at THP you know that we are in a new double wide trailer and I now have space for a decent garden.

My seedlings will start off in the library and eventually either enter the 10 foot X 5 foot garden or go into 5gal buckets.

I will amend the garden soil with a couple bags of potting soil, a bag of worm castings, and a bag of chicken shit.

There will be lots of picks so hang on tight.


This years grow list coming soon.

And for the throwdown? I never thought I'd see the day when I vote for a veggie burger against real beef burgers (especially those of the caliber y'all were droppin' in here,) bud damn. I had my doubts when I saw the ingredient list. But once I saw you get to work, you schooled me. Hard. Buddy, it takes some real, serious skill to turn those humble veggies into the masterpiece you brought here. As soon as my wife and I saw it finished, we looked at each other, cried a little and I knew this vote's fate was sealed.
No dis to any other contestants intended. But Given the choice, I would've opted to take a bite out of Ryme's creation before my own. And mine was, without question, the best burger I've ever made/eaten. That pic of the freshly fried patties put a tear in my eye. Every piece of that burger was perfect for its place. Even the yogurt on the top, I imagine that really rounded out the flavors and added a tangy creaminess that just set it all off. Much respect, Rymperpt.
This one was hard. Bacon wrapped onion rings? popper stuffed elk patty? Chicken and fire roasted hatch pepper empanada buns? Blackened f**king Lionfish?!!! You people brought a crazy A-game. A very tasteful, crazy A-game.
If THP was in a burger throwdown against any other cooking website, we would embarrass them.

Just harvested seven beautiful ghost peppers. Our church is having a chili cook of today and the paster asked me to bring some peppers. His idea is to alow me to school folks about the possible heat options that the regular Joe is not aware of. I made my chili doable for average folks, but am bringing the heat. I will set up a table with jalapenos, fresnos, serranos, thai, manzanos, habeneros, and ghosts. It will be an education station showing the progression of heat. I will also show whole peppers, halved peppers, and have small dixie cups with pepper pieces to sample. The table will also have a first aide station with fatty dairy to attend to the pussies.

GONNA BE A HOOT

 

[Rymerpt]

Did not even place. Good chili to be had.

Hot hot hot

Packaged and locked during service

Lots of sample cups

Gloves and milk at the ready

Ester wanted a couple ghosts in her chili



Overall people were afraid of the heat, but some braved the ghosts and loved them. About killed the jr paster with some ghost. He burned about 8 min. Lots of milk helped him.


Fun fun fun

     That chili cookoff looked like fun. I would've been like a kid in a candy store with all those little samples of each pepper to try. Hopefully it sparked an interest in another future chilehead!

Haha. If our church had these kind of events, I would be attending more often. It looks like fun and good eat.

When my wife became pregnant with our son fifteen years ago I was the one to have the cravings. I sought heat. I had been able to eat kinda hot up till then, but all of a sudden I could not find anything hot enough. I went seeking a chilihead community locally. I never found that "local" community, but stumbled upon THP. I went into the welcome thread and bitched about seeds ( for the hotter peppers) being about a buck a piece on some sites and e-bay. I was pissed because I was not a gardener, I lived in an appartment, and the good seeds were a buck a piece. SMILEY (Mike Hess) answered my welcome post with a chuckle and offered to send me seeds. Shortly latter I opened a package with seeds and powder that I had never even heard of. I remember eating a 1/2 teaspoon of maruga powder (thought id try a little). I nearly died.

Now at 9k posts, THP and the grand pepper comunity that I have found here has made me known locally as "the pepper man". I supply friends and nieghbors with much needed powders and create pickles and goodies for their tables.

PEPPER PEOPLE ROCK

That's why I grow peppers
