    DC Poblano not ripening

    Hi all. Haven't been around much this summer. Lots going on here at home. I've still been growing and harvesting but am now having an issue I need help with. Have a poblano plant that is doing great. I'm using them fresh and have roasted a bunch but want some to ripen so I can dry into...

    THE drawer.

    This is my container drawer 15 min ago. This is everything in it. I had to smoosh everything. So now to organize and clean the nasty stuff on the bottom of the drawer. How many need to do this?

    Florida

    I'm not in Florida but my parents are there every winter. I know a lot of the people here are locals. I am so sorry for the last week. It's been horrible. Blessings to all.

    Extreme membership renewal

    I got an email about renewing my extreme membership. Tried to pay but only gives a paypal option? I'm sure I used a credit card last year. What's up?

    Give a girl hope

    This has been my weather for the month of May. These are my poor plants. No amount of cooking chili, borscht, pot roast or whatever in a pot is helping. Those of you in dry and sunny parts of the world, can I see? Sunshine and happy peppers would do me a world of good. Kisses!

    It was a dark and stormy...forever

    Here in DC we have been cloudy and rainy for 14 days. Set a record. I planted out 3 weeks ago and had beautiful weather for the next 2. Have flowers on the plants but they are still the same size as when I got them. They seem ok but I'm hating this! Pull the blooms until they get bigger...

    DC Balcony Glog 2016

    It's that time again! Just read through last year's glog and it was so helpful to have that record. This year I'm changing things up a bit. Cutting way back. I usually put 3 plants in each of my 20 x 20 pots. Some do great, some get crowded out and overshadowed. I only bought 6 from CCN this...

    New Years Eve

    I have always considered NYE amateur night, along with St. Patrick's day and Halloween. Prefer to stay home with good food, drinks and a loved one. Anyone else spending the end of the year cooking? I am making use of the second half of the Christmas brisket with chili. No beans, no tomatoes...

    It takes me at least 4 hours to make a roux I like that isn't burnt. Am I crazy?

    My sticks

    Last year I tried my first bonchis. Neither lived. This year I'm trying again. The Trinidad Scorpion I grew from seed that has the most interesting trunk and roots. And my Goats weed. My most beautiful plant. I think the Goats weed may be to big. Thoughts?

    Printer recommendations?

    My 18 month old lightly used cannon printer up and died for no reason. After googling, found out this is not uncommon. Cannon will fix but I've got to lug it or ship it. Screw that. So I'm in the market for a new printer. Small and simple. Mostly just printing docs and the occasional pic-...

    My bad day.

    Not sure where to put this, but you are my friends. My mother has been diagnosed With Non Hodgkin's luphoma. As cancers go, it's not too bad. She will recover. But, my mother has cancer.

    Black Goat'sWeed?

    My Goat's Weed has been beautiful all season. Dark green to bright red fruit. Now they are turning a crazy black! Is it the cold or change in light? Love it and it's perfect for Halloween, but completely unexpected.

    Henning's Scorching Scorpion cheese

    Found this in the WF today and my honey insisted we try. I was surprised. It definitely has super hots in it and is hotter than I expect to find in a commercial cheese product. He tried it and was fired up. I thought it was good. Perfect for a burger or tacos. Not the best cheddar I've ever had...

    Kitchen torch

    My fall project is cleaning all my kitchen cabinets and disposing of crap I don't use. I found this buried in the back. It is at least 10 years old and never used, but seems like it might be useful now that I know it exists. Questions: Is the fuel good/safe after so much time? If I...

    dried Dried super hots

    Drying Trinidad Scorpions, Reapers and Red Brain Strain. Had them all separated on the pan and a little cheat sheet of which was which. Didn't think, looked in the oven and gave that pan a shake. Now they are all mixed up. How big a difference in the flavors when dried? Should I just make a...
