Just a thought:
Have you considered just storing the dehydrated peppers in a sealed jar and grinding them up as needed?
I only ask bc even in a drought WE are super humid here and I would lose the powder if I did it that way.
I has discovered that the longer the peppers sit in the jar, the...
I Wish I had had my phone out yesterday! Lynx was stealthily hunting...UNfortunately in the kitchen!! :eek:
She could have caught anybody napping--quite a sight.
This morning she pushed open one of the cupboard drawers and checked inside, which is a normal Kitten thing to do--never saw her do...
Yeah, after being physically waylaid by my NOW 2 great knees, and two very poor growing seasons, I, too, am making 2026 plans.
It's not like we have garden planning police to arrest you if you change your mind.
FINALLY, rainstorm!!! Cooler and we might get our first frost on the average frost date, Oct 22nd.
I may throw a moving blanket on top of the tomato/pepper pot by the house to give it one more week.

FINALLY a rainstorm!!!!! :woot:woot:woot
:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee
THis morning before the 1PM rain, I had time to:
1) push mow around where Eva's grave will be finished
2) secured gas grill from being blown away
3) put away red plastic Adirondack chair
4) put away shovels, rakes and hand tools...
I have been training Sasha and Tegan, the 14 wk old GSD puppies:
1) cats do not exist
2) no, you didn't just See a cat
3) these are Not the cats you're looking for
That, and sit at the door so that the cats can go in and out unmolested and we're all getting along.
Good party, but we didn't burn the pile. They Finally harvested the beans to the west of us. We are going to have a Saturday burn/feed in a few weeks with out neighbors, S.'s, who originated the party with us.
Youngest DD helped me put away everything in the North pasture last weekend--she had...
Good party, BUT, we had an argument about burning the pile. After 6 weeks of practically NO RAIN and the beans in the field hadn't been harvested, I made the executive decision of No. DH was a little miffed. DD's burned the witch in my fire pit in the front of the barn, QUITE safe unless...
SALSA #14: The Usual Suspects
I made too many beans, so I had to pressure can 6 quarts of leftovers this morning, now cooling. DH has his marching orders--work on you baked bean recipe!
I started them middle of the night, Thursday and woke up to a bulging crock pot of beans. I moved them...
I spouted 5 amaranth in my wildflower garden, accidentally pulled out 2 of them while weeding, but the other 3 are doing great. I don't intend to save seeds, but let them reseed there.
DD (Peoria area) said that the AC was still running late yesterday in the House, even though the temperatures had dropped to the 60's Outside. She turn AC off, opened up the windows and everybody slept great last night.
WE had very heavy, pea-soup fog this morning, which is almost a light rain...
coffee klatch
https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/coffee-klatch/
The term “coffee klatch” comes from the German word, “kaffeeklatsch,” which translates to coffee (kaffee) + gossip (klatsch). It refers to a group of friends getting together over a cup of coffee, usually at someone's house...
@Dahlia, Thanks! :hugs
Dehydrating is less work than hot water bath canning. Recipes work differently. I think Eldest DD (Chef) needs to learn to rehydrate the tomatoes to use them.
Funny, I Finally read the raised lettering on the squatty jar: Bath & Body Works
Bless you for starting this thread!!
Favorite verse:
Matthew 8:5-13 NIV - The Faith of the Centurion
I need favor for rain before my Saturday party, pls pray!!
Took my coffee on the road this morning to have my tires rotated. It's Always that I don't remember When I did it last, and I don't want to have problems in a few months when the snow hits.
Also, I ordered online yesterday and picked up:
1) 1st location, a bag of 10 rubber washers for my...
