Looks like Pepper X is finally released, and has officially taken the hottest pepper in the world title. ApNews

Seen a lot of people asking about powder make methods. Figured I would post a method is use to make "Fine" paprika like grind. The skinning part will only really work for meatier peppers.   First off the peppers I'm working with. These are Sweet Hungarian. In this case I am literally making...

Found it on twitter, looks like some place I would want to eat.    

This is the second time one of my ghosts from this nursery has been a hybrid.   These look interesting this time.   These are larger thin finger long/size pods.       Had a very late plant this year due to a very cold wet spring, so the pods are late too. Only starting to get some with a...

This pepper plant was bought as a bhut jolokia. I got two, one plant is 100% what I would expect. but the second is not a bhut.   Left :  Bhut Jolokia Right: ???     Corking?     very different stems.     Inside     upclose.   Leaf side by side The plants when they were little were...

I gather, and culture wild yeasts for both brewing, and bread fairly often. We have a lot of wild blackberries where I. They're prominent enough so they even named the area after them "Blackberry Hill" And every time I was passed a bramble I could smell the strong scent of yeast from the ripe...

Saw some Bhut Jolokia peppers at a local nursery this spring. I was surprised to see them, since if it's more exotic then a jalapeno, or a habanero they tend not to carry it. So grabbed a couple and stuck them in my garden.   Plant #1   That plant looks fine, however...     These guys are NOT...

I have a paper lantern plant, and it's very close to a reaper plant. It has developed a pod with a very distinct stinger on it.     I was wondering if it's possible for cross pollination to affect the shape of the pod.  

Only one plant made it. We had golf ball sized hail early in the summer, and it wiped out a pretty good portion of my plants. But one of my PT's survived, and now has a few pods. Can't wait for some ripes.   Pink Tiger pic Odd anyone else here having an issue posting pictures? Could have sworn...

It's getting near Halloween. So I figured I would post my method of making hard candied peppers. You can check my original post here Candied Jalapenos & Habaneros. Which you actually do need to do to make the hard candy as well.   I'm using Devil's Tongue peppers. They are almost identical to...

Getting a freeze in the next day or so; so I just had to pick/cut all my outdoor pepper plants.  Hurts me almost as much as it hurts the plants to do out and lop them down. busy plucking peppers branch, by branch as I type this. Will likely be doing it for several days now.   At least I have...

Picked these up a local nursery. When I looked them up I found they were an heirloom cayenne type. I found them to be larger, meatier pith wise, and less seedy then a standard cayenne. That and they taste nothing like a cayenne. They taste kinda of like a very fruity thai pepper. They do GROW...

The seeds for this plant came in a packet of habanero seeds.     They taste oddly like fatali. Strangest hab I ever did see.   Note: The rest of the seeds from the packet grew very normally habaneros.

Had to thin out the baby basil.     So what should I do with it? Pesto? Any suggestions?  

I wanted to do a "seasoning" post. And I had beat on this pan a little hard so I re-stripped it.     The first step to seasoning your pan is simple. Heat the pan up. Not too hot though only around 200°F. And the oil it(I used Crisco). You heat the pan to "open it's pores". Once it's oiled let...

I managed to find another old piece of cast iron. So I figured I would share me reconditioning it from start to finish. This is an "Un-marked" "Un-named" item. Which complicates identifying it. How ever there are few key markings on from it's manufacturing that help indicate the date it was...

Awhile back I mentioned I had inherited some old cast iron when a family member past. The first time I saw these pans they were a thing of beauty. The sides had some lumpy char, but the bottom of these pans were like a mirror. They are the pans she had used ner everyday since she got them as a...
