Hi guys, how are you? It's a while i don't visit glogs... Last year i haven't even opened one. Long story short: grew Bleeding Jigsaw and Jalapenos from Semillas. Also bought a red rocoto, just in case. Well, it has been my worst year, as soon i planted out stuff there's been at least 2 weeks of...

After so much time i went on vacation and it was epic. A true rush on northern part of Ethiopia so we called it Ethiopia: Fury Road. I just want to share some photos, i don't post on photo album because photos are bad amd it's mostly descriptive. Just don't ask me the name of places because i'm...

Hi guys, that stuff somwhow came to me:   Ancho, Cascabel, Guajillo, Pasillo are all smoked. Maxito is dried and i know how to use that.   Those sthould be original from Mexico.   To be honest, that stuff is not something i am even remotely experienced with (i'd say no one here where i live...

Hi all! I've disappeared for a while and here it is my new glog! Smaller than ever. Just 3 varieties and an overwinter. And no supers.     Just started. 11 Dedo de Moca 11 Datil 11 Brown Jalapeno   And the overwinter, a red rocoto (that has been somewhat devastated by hail):   Ripening...

Hi all! I've decided to open my glog that year too... I wasn't sure to open it since it will be an humble one, not many peppers, just the ones needed... All seed from Semillas.   I've started 10 Rocoto Cap 363 on 1st january, because i managed to lose one, after a 2 days soak. Today i have my...

Or maybe it's just the thing that here we call "torta salata" (salted pie). I had a party for a birthday but i was invited too late to buy a present cause for some issues yesterday i couldn't exit home so i made that as a temporary gift... To be honest i just seized the opportunity to try some...

I guess that recipe can interest you guys. Recently i talked to someone from Neaples. Of course we start to talk about pizza. And of course the nice thing is that Neaples has so much to offer aside pizza, even only speaking just about food. A thing that really caugh my attention was a thing...

I wanted to make that just to try it... I've already eaten it sometimes and it's good but i like better normal pizza, sometimes is good to change though.   I made a pretty normal pizza dough, maybe with a bit less water than usual. 700g flour (200 manitoba + 500 normal... just because i had to...

Long story short: trying that stuff and soon i should consult some good specialist for some balanced diet and see if this is the problem... So i hope to avoid bad stuff and i made that: pan fried 2 red onions, half head of garlic next and a big yellow red bell, salt and black pepper and a dried...

Ok, that year i thought: should i care about the hottest and meanest pods if the ones i like most are ones with not so extreme heat profiles? And since i miss so many classics i didn't bother with new crosses. Yellow also are so good. 3 supers i have are all yellow (they just tastes better).  ...

Being a bit bored of weather heat, having some pepper remains and that idea since some days... I just made a pesto, more or less like original basil one but with hot pepper instead.     40g deseeded various hot peppers (4 calabrese annuum, 2 cherrylike, a piece of Butch T, Jay's Red, Jay's...

In next season i want to grow that one since probably i'll place an order to Judy. I've never experienced rocoto except a Red Rocoto plant that i bought last year and dind't set any pod in spite of growing well so i hope to have some this one. Giant Mexican Rocoto seems spectacular.   Any...

If i am not wrong a general rice thread is missing. I can't say that i eat rice often (even less cooked, really rarely) nor that i know it well, but i like it. For sure hot pepper doesn't hure here too.   I had a pack of black rice so for dinner i made the following:   200g black rice cempo...

Returned to home i just wanted to waste some powder and some old kiwifruits.     The nice thing is that those kiwis are grown within a km from my home and that lemon is from a tree of mine.   400g kiwifruits (weight after peeling) 180g sugar juice of half of a lemon 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tps fatalii...

Here i am with my humble growing! That year only superhots, there were just too many that i wanted to try.   The seeds, all form Semillas:   I gave 5 of each to a friend of mine. So i have 6 of all but TSMCaramel (7), BrainStrain (5) and Jay Peach (5). Total 59. I plan to keep 2 of each + 1 for...

I've heard that basil somewhat is good to grow along with hot peppers. Next year i should have a stripe of 2*18-20m ground to grow peppers.  I was thinking to make 2 rows of peppers with basil in the middle (like a faced centered square order): Red are peppers and green basil. Distance from 2...

Because granita is maybe my fav dessert! And summer is granita time (for me it should be all year long).   Just bought some mango to taste it, i had the idea and picked my most ripened 7pod (still green):   Doses of today: juice of 2 lemons, filtered (1 in pic because i decided later to use one...

Grilling in woods is one of the best thing ever! In the middle of our hills there's a nice spot in middle of woods, a nicer thing is that the place is on top of a rock place (maybe some old mine) so it's realtivelay a safe place too (especially with a good quantity of water to put off fire and...

Ok, today i decided to plant seeds. First of all i want to thank who helped me in a thread and Sarge in particular that helped me to decide what to do! :D And Lonewolf from pepperfriends forum that has helped me a lot! My list, all from Semillas, begin of september 2013:   Trinidad Scorpion...

Just because i had nothing better to do... Unfortunately now i have some semi-fresh-semi-dried unknown peppers only (i think 7pod or scorpion or orange habanero would be perfect here). Unfortunately i had not a lot of spices at home. I suppose cinnamon, nutmeg, carnation cloves and bay tree...
