For board members outside of the United States market: One of the leading brands of toilet tissue here is Charmin. For a while now they have run commercial television messages with cartoon bears enjoying their product.   Here in the US there is the the rhetorical saying, "Does a bear sh1t in the...

No big stories here but I have learned that peppers will clear me out. I don't regret it - what's the alternative, going around with a gut full of stale crap?   Sorry if this is Too Much Information but sometimes when I take a pepper crap I'm mainly unloading older stuff and then the last bit...

Welcome to the board! I'm on the west side of Columbus.   I grew ghosts for the first time last year and I'll grow them again along with some habs.

Welcome to the board! Here's bread and salt and vodka for you.  

Welcome to the board! Plenty of sauce makers here, lots of fermenting. Look around and settle in.

Welcome to the board! Plenty of plant care advice here.  

I looked back in my archives and I do still have several years of the digest. The oldest is from Volume 2, August 1995. I think they are WordPerfect files; when I try to open them the formatting is a mess.   I do have some text files. This was my RSVP to Open Fields 2001. Bonus points to anyone...

I forget, who was it that posted the story about a bicycle ride with raccoons climbing out of the front basket? that was epic.  

Twenty years ago, chileheads were corresponding on a mailing list comprising only plain-text email messages, no GUI or images. It was a thriving list but it faded over the years as other media have emerged. Some of you may have been there; I'm pretty sure that NECM was. I am there as Alex...

I don't know if Jim is here but he has very little time to spend online. He quit the pepper biz and went higher up the ranks in the fire department.   CaJohn or some of his people might be here.  

Certainly, instability can be a factor. Even so, credit goes to Steve and Beth (and others) for at least developing the cultivars. Time will tell which traits stay true.

Good old hex drive - that's the same as the key that goes into the bottom of a disposal for when it jams.

Of course not! She sleeps in the garage and I sleep under the kitchen table in my heated vibrating air mattress sandwich.   She hates the hum.  

Another example: "Locking pliers" usually aka vise grips, as a nutcracker. I'm sure all of us have used them in one way or another.    A basic nutcracker uses long handles to deliver force to short jaws. Locking pliers are hinged to limit the stroke of the jaws, just as the greatest leverage is...

Welcome to the board! I'm growing in Ohio, too, and usually when the frosts come the plants are in full production and they would rather go on longer.  

I've been wondering about combining chocolate and chipotle, never tried that combination.   Maybe in a format that isn't based on sweet chocolate - maybe more like putting straight cocoa powder into a chipotle base.

The point is, it's not sold as something for the kitchen; it came from a tool store and not a housewares store.

Sometimes some tool intended for some other use proves to be handy around the kitchen. A well-known example is a carpenter's rasp, which proves itself for zesting, etc. Have you adapted something to kitchen use?   Here's a recent one for me. I bought this paper towel holder at a discount tool...
