  The flu is now gong through the rest of the house, so I am catching a minute here while I can. It feels great to be over it, but it sucks that everyone else is still stick.   I do my best, and hopefully someone will benefit from what I have written. Taste is a very personal thing, but if...

Nice pod shots. Is that a white peruvian hab at the bottom?

Just a comment about the peruvian purples. I grew them two years ago, and yes they are definitely edible. They have a wonderful smokey type flavour if you let them ripen the entire way. The heat level ramps up at the end just as they are ripening. 

I'm going to add a couple of reviews to my running list. The new items will be in bold. I will continue adding to this list as I try new pods that have recently ripened.    Leutschauer Paprika: Will grow again. I love paprika peppers, but I have had some issues with the thick fleshed varieties...

  I hope it helps. We can compare notes and help each other out, and hopefully each of us can make good selections heading into next year's grow.   I do love to experiment in the kitchen. I use recipes once in a while, but I find that things almost always taste better when I wing it.   Thanks...

I am going to start a running list of what types of peppers I would consider growing again, and what types I would overwinter. As I add new items over the next few days I will put them in bold so that the running list stays intact.   Bahamian Goat Pepper:  Will not grow again. The taste is...

Sounds like really good sauce. I really like the ones that taste good, and sometimes if you have insane heat the flavours are lost. This is especially true with sauces make with smoked peppers.

Wow, what fantastic harvest shots! I am eagerly waiting for your processing pictures, they are always a huge treat. 

  Thanks man. I felt brutal all day, but I think I may be shaking it now. I took tomorrow off for Sofia's first day of school, and I am not missing that for anything.    Thank you very much :)   The "jam"-type stuff that I made is pretty awesome. Once it cooled off it got even better, which is...

I love roasted peppers, onions, and almost anything else for that matter. That looks delicious!  I hope your grow survives the next couple of nights. You are usually in a similar weather pattern, and it is getting brutal cold here tonight and tomorrow.

  To be honest, the mango kind of got lost in all of the strong berry flavours. I decided to toss the berries in because they were nearing the end of their shelf life, and the took over the place. But it was still a very very tasty sauce!   Not everything has to be superhot to be good. A little...

I definitely share your pain with days getting shorter and nights getting colder. It seems like it is pretty much time to start thinking about wrapping it up, unless the cold snap is quick and there are nice days following it. Glad to see your pods still ripening!

The overnight temps are going to plunge later this week, so I may be facing the end of the growing season. I am planning to pull a bunch of pods tomorrow and start getting set for the fall tear down.   I decided to use the peach bhuts to make a sauce today. The peach bhut was very hot, almost...

Holy crap, what a cool picture! I guess the frog is like a roadrunner to the snake's coyote.

+1 on loving the colour of that sauce. It caught my eye right away. 

  Thank you! They were definitely tasty and hot enough for me,    Awesome! I'm sure you'll love them, especially as a spread. 

  Exactly, that is the biggest compliment you can get. 

Do you grow your own garlic too?

Great foodie pics and explanations!    How are the fumes when it is cooking? I would like to give this a try, but I have to watch stuff like fumes with Sofia's conditions.
