    WTF?

    I found these at my corner grocery store that usually has rotten, blackened habaneros. I can't decide if they're Red Savina, Caribbean Red or a cross breed of some sorts. It was like a hodge podge of peppers and I just grabbed them all up. HELP!

    I HAVE A JOB!!!!

    After 2 years of being unemployed, one of my old vendors calls me to take over the sales manager position for a while. I'm a production/floor supervisor so being in an office is going to be kind of weird for me. Don't know if I should be happy or stressed out. Wish me luck.

    Stolen Guitars

    A friend of mine's house got robbed the other day. He lives in Martinez, CA. He lost 2 of his most prized guitars. They'll be pretty hard to pawn off here, so all of you out of state guitar players keep your eyes open..... and even you all from different parts of California.

    KATYDIDS?

    Has anyone here ever had an issue with katydids attacking their plants? I just found a few big ones in the backyard yesterday and today. We usually get them in autumn, but never thought of them as being harmful until I researched them. Their diet is mainly foliage!

    Grilled/Smoked Habs for Sauce Question.

    I have 50 orange habs and a bunch of red fresnos here and I'm thinking of smoking 1/2 of them before making sauce. (On the grill, not in my wife's bong!!!)
