tristam were the cashews from chileseeds.co.uk? if so, they're freakin' excellent - i've polished mine off toute suite, absolutely moreish....if not, where did you get them?

a very merry Christmas to everyone here, i sincerely hope everyone has a smashing time. i'd also like to wish all the guys & gals out in Afghanistan a safe festive period (& afterwards too). it's been 2 years to the day my beloved Mother died in a domestic accident, so this thread is so much...

i don't understand your fear of the seeds tristam.that part of the pod is the least hot (despite what these tv chefs might tell you). the heat is in the placenta (or pith) which is often removed with the seeds when folk remove the seeds from a chilli.the seeds often taste bitter (if anything)as...

or you could use flat-leaf parsley as a substitute instead. (is that what it's called in north america?)

thanks for all the replies folks, more than i thought would contribute! well, i guess for chilli growing, i'd be wasting my precious cash, so thanks for that one & all.

looking good Toleman! can't wait for the next update.

unusual to find a Kentuckian appreciating a guinness IMO, but then the commercial world's a smaller place these days. my favourite (if anyone across the pond's heard of it) is Arran blonde ale, just lovely chilled for a couple days, & very much a local brew.

pepperoni & habs, nothing like it...or any hot chilli come to think of it. making me hanker for a large pizza now...

yeah...which one??!!

amazing plants Sterno, you should be really proud!

i was looking at an aerogarden site last night with a view to buying one.they were selling a white model, the black one's more expensive-would the colour of the unit make any difference? prob a daft question, but if anyone knows... they claim the plants grown within will show excellent results...

Johnny, "Hi!" from Scotland, good to have you here.

looks good Dave, i can taste that from here! alas, i'll be sticking to beer this crimbo...i'm banned from the water of life this year!:(

pm sent....

gruyere, now that's a cheese i haven't heard of for a while, but can imagine being superb in poppers. these look almost melt-in-the-mouth, bet they tasted great!

looking good huntsman! hope it tasted good as i'm sure it did. there are many varieties of recipe, & if it's good for you, then that's all that matters. you seem to have used what was available to you, so that's perfectly OK.

i always scrape out the seeds, which inevitably removes most of the placenta/pith, so i mix in some hot sauce/paste into the filling.saves me howking seeds out of my teeth & gives a reasonable heat level. might even make some for christmas dinner!!!

i've left the cover on but opened the vents (heated prop), but most of the seedlings have wilted so i guess i've left it a bit late then....pretty frosty here which is why i left the covers on. would i be better leaving the covers off & letting the seedlings grow although the outside temp's very...

snow already lying here too, & much more on the way on sunday...

coriander seeds are one of the staples in my cupboards, also cumin seeds, as well as turmeric, fenugreek leaf, coriander leaf (cilantro) & spices too numerous to mention. garam masala indeed varies from kitchen to kitchen,& region to region. i love Indian cuisine, as i do Thai, Vietamese...
