Harry,  Congrats on the retirement!

There is a heat alert this afternoon/early evening for his part of Kansas; high of 94F.  I’ve had a lot worse when I lived in Phoenix and also near Redding, CA - but those were a dry heat, as some say.   Busy today, now that I have the peppers and tomatoes planted, wife wants me to work on an...

Anyone have an opinion on Aji Margariteno in general or in comparison to the other peppers mentioned in the OP? I planted six seeds but none germinated this season.  I do have a Trinidad Perfume which I have grown in the past.  I also have a Tobago Seasoning.

Just got back from dropping off my nephew's dog at the vet to get him(the dog) fixed and get various shots. He is a red Australian Shepard. My few strawberries are not doing so well now after said dog decided to dig them up and then lie in the cool soil.    Take care and stay safe!

Sitting on my front porch drinking coffee and watching a pair of Oriols eat the orange halves we put out, also a bue Jay is pecking around. The grass and leaves are vivid green - its all very technicolor here - except kitty, she is in black and white. It is currently 70F, possible T-storms this...

Could not help it - just had to smile. Thanks for the photos

  Yuk.  I am supposed to help my nephew move out this morning. At least we have a few good hours of weather.  Nephew has lived with us for the past four years.  We got him through high school.  Will miss having him around but he will only be a few miles away in the next town south of us.  

Looks wonderful. I made some several years ago and was planning on making it again later this year.   I am in no way from the Islands, but my understanding is that to be truly authentic, instead of cilantro, you would need to use Shado Beni (aka culantro, Mexican coriander, thorny coriander...

rsashe, Welcome to the site.  I am south of you in Paola.   Harry Dangler,  Wow! someone else on this board in Paola.  I moved to Paola over the summer.  Would love to meet in person but it would have to be tomorrow as Miami county is starting its lockdown as of midnight tomorrow except for...

Thank you for the link.  Very informative. I was born in Japan (father was in the US military) and have lived there off and on during my lifetime, most recently 2008 - 2010.  I knew about the Portuguese influence on Tempura.  The article did not talk about the other important influence from the...

To all members who are in the Redding CA area; I hope you and your family are safe. I am about 10 miles east of Redding but my MIL's mobile home in north-west Redding had to be evacuated Thursday night. Spent the last two days getting people and animals to safer spaces.

Welcome. I lived in Japan (Yokohama) from 2008 - 2010.  I was a civilian working for the military.  I lived in a high-rise on the 38th floor with a small balcony.  I was not into growing peppers at that time so cannot give you any specific advice on growing peppers there.     Enjoy your time...

Welcome.

Over the summer the Sav-Mor in Corning, California had manzanos for $5/lb.  I bought 2 lbs. That Sav-Mor does cater to the local mexican population.  I did notice that the fine print on the small sticker on each pepper stated that they had been irradiated. Don't know if the seeds will grow but...

Same here - usually butter about 2/3rds of the time, if not that then bacon fat.  Never considered safflower oil but will use some next time I want a dark roux.

  We do now.  My MIL lives with us, she is 91 and has dementia and is diabetic.  Relatives give her lots of sugar-free cookies and candies for Christmas and her birthday.  We have to lock away the cookies and candies and dole them out now. She has no impulse control and two years ago she ate all...

Rocoto

Hello all, I am in Northern California near Redding.  I started growing peppers this past season at the instigation of one of my nephews.  He came to stay with us the summer before last.  (He’s a city boy and we currently live in the county.)  We were at a local farmers market and there were...
