Hate to rain on everyone's parade, but it's fake http://www.snopes.com/crime/justice/mugger.asp

thank you :)

Nope all out of hwhiskey, drinking some hobo beer called "Hamm's," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc7HoWEk6y8

Those quesadillas sound awesome. I would have never thought to put kimchi in a quesadilla. :surprised: Not exactly Texmex but I make these a lot, tacos dorados with cabbage salad. I sauté some chicken with salt and pepper in a little olive oil, then shred it. Then take some corn...

Yeah I make the girlfriend tie the corn husks with her delicate little fingers. :D I've only made standard pork and chicken tamales, I'm going to try some of other types of fillings. I'm growing some hoja santa that will come in handy.

I figured it was either that, or couldn't find it. Lard is really a neutral fat if it anything, it may raise LDL a little but it also raises HDL. It's 50% monounsaturated, of which almost all is oleic acid (45% of the total fat). Olive oil is about 60-80% oleic acid in comparison. Of the...

Why don't you use lard? IMO tamales made with lard are a lot more moist and flavorful, as long as you're using good lard and not that white partially hydrogenated goop Armour sells in tubs at room temperature. I've made them with butter, oil, and lard and there's no comparison.

She seems like a nice gal. :cool:

You could also just slice them into rings and put them in fish sauce, great for thai food.

I just got a hangover from reading the words "Old Crow." :sick:

Yeah most varieties within a species are pretty much indistinguishable at that stage. Some varieties are distinct and you may be able to narrow it down depending on what else you're growing. Bhut jolokias have a leaf shape that's skinner than other chinenses with serrated leaf margins, for...

Is cutting them back and keeping them in smaller pots (e.g. 1 gallon) not an option? A cold frame could probably get them through the winter. Something like this: Shouldn't be terribly expensive and they're pretty easy to build yourself. Some black mulch or some water jugs painted black...

That isn't much different than the BX. It doesn't have the mycorrhizae or biofungicide, but other than that the composition is pretty much the same. Maybe not quite as much perlite, I just finished using some of it. It's a good potting mix but if you can get BX for about the same price I...

A good ph meter ain't cheap and a cheap ph meter ain't good! How did you test the water? Those can't be used for liquid. Unless you made some kind of slurry or something then the water results won't be accurate. Unadjusted peat should be somewhere around 4. Probably better off just using...

Last year it seemed like I got a little better results with fluctuating temperatures (I did about half both ways), but I didn't keep track of times and percentages so I could be wrong. This year I did only fluctuating temperatures, mainly because I germinate in the room I sleep in so I turned...

Patrick do you have a Menard's nearby? The Menard's where I live just started carrying these 2.0 cubic ft. bales this year, within the last month or two. It's not BX, and it doesn't seem to have the mycorrhizae or bio fungicide but it's a pretty good deal at $14 for 4 cubic ft. loose. I live...

That's correct, different stores though. The 3.8 is from a greenhouse supply company and the 2 is from Menard's. The 3.8 expands to about 7 cu ft and the 2 expands to about 4 cu ft.

$28 for 3.8 cu ft bales, or $14 for 2 cu. ft. bales

I disagree about fish emulsion, it works very well for young plants. I switch to other stuff once they get bigger though.

There are studies that found that temperature fluctuation actually improved germination, but I think they only tested wild varieties.
