Hi All
I have been meaning to respond to this post for a couple of days.
It is the sort of comment that makes this list great and the morning
opening of the email such a pleasure.
On topic lots and lots of rain to make up for the long dry summer.
The last 2 weeks here have been as wet as any in the last 30 years.
No real winter though here by the beach. The Habs in the lean to are
still fruiting and the Serrano has started to flower again.
I think 60 chile plants was a bit over the top last season. Freezer is
full of chilles. (Any local Kiwi can call for small bag free)
Dried and ground to the helpful hints from the generous members of this
list (Ta Jim Cambell).
The Habenero powder is seriously HOT!!
As the note from Luke will attest to. Not to be tampered with::::::
I have tamed it to a more tolerable level ( for me at least ) by
blending:
1 part Habenero, 1 part Anaheim, 1 part Jalepeno plus 2 parts Serrano.
I carry a small jar around with me which seems to get sprinkled on
anything that looks like food. Some dogs even like it on their scraps.
Regards to all
