I have not yet. They only thing I really get after is beef or chicken bones when I make stock.

I have boiled dried peppers and run them through the tomato press for pepper sauce and they bring their unique flavor different from fresh. I like to mix dried peppers. I guess you can boil them separately too so the final cooled blend has more unique flavor profiles. There you have me on...

Does adding a little vinegar help keep out the bad bacteria like it does with sourdough starter?

Those look great! What agent are you using for fermenting? I ordered a water lock jar and look forward to its arrival. It must be on the slow boat.

That is just not right.

Of course they will contribute. It is often a mix that makes a more interesting flavor profile anyway. Sambal Oelek may have a classic recipe but I rock it my way with the peppers my garden gives me and no one complains.

Tell me about the scoville unit. I understand it is how much sugar water that has to be used to offset heat. What in the blue alien does that mean? What is the weight of the sugar water? The volume? How much sweet? Sugar to water ratio? Are we feeding hummingbirds with the leftovers?

Respect the knife?

Those were a lot of guys with military experience. Her dad retired from the military in his first career. Experience makes a difference. Because of his extensive electronics experience with military radar, and a Maineiac's love of building with wood, his 3rd career was preparing and repairing...

Yeah @SPedigrees they were not like the killers we have today. They were in control of themselves.

My wife is from Maine. Her Dad's second career of 3 was as a Maine State Trooper. He would tell some tales. Like chasing cars and seeing them disappear into a snowbank when they failed to make a turn. Or the time they shot the tires off a car and only put one bullet in the car body. They were...

why? just on the edges? I did not understand.

Bugs smell the wind like a dog. Put the trap downwind before they get to the area.

When I put JB pheromone traps upwind of my garden I was shocked by how many accumulated in the bag. I noticed that the following year there was much less pressure and less in the bags. And the year after that I forgot to put them out.

Shieldbug. " It is important to be able to distinguish between the southern green shieldbug and the more widely distributed native common green shieldbug (Palomena prasina). The latter often strays into glasshouses during the summer but does not cause economic damage. As a result, control...

My eyes must be tired -I started with you pickling green beans. That got me going! I squeezed my cherries into tomato sauce. They bring some sweetness.

How many peppers are in a peck of peppers? I picked a peck...I think!

Bulbs and our clay get along nicely. I try to plant just as the wet season begins to avoid watering so much in the fall or just as the warmth of spring shows up in March. We have no frost line so I plant for drainage and wet seasons.

This is the one I stumbled upon so many years ago. No garlic but better for adding into dishes that may have garlic. It ruined me for lousiana style hot sauces -even frank's fermented sauce, except wings of course.
