Subject: [CH] Cross Pollination of Plants
Hi Chilis:
I'm going to try to control as much as possible the pollination to the 15
pepper plants that I plan to plant closely together. May I assume that if I
force pollinate from one plant to another that this has "set" the plant and
no other genetic material from other plants can henceforth be introduced? I
would hate to go through the trouble of tying cloth bags on the stems, or
physically separating the plants by screens.

Cooking beans in salted water makes them tough. You'll notice that
Rael's recipe (adapted from P.P.) has the beans soaked and cooked in

Delurking for a bit of advice. I'm going to a conference the first weekend
of April to Tempe, Arizona. My first time. Looking for good eats in the
area. I understand that Phoenix is close by, but I won't have much extra
time to drive around, except maybe on Saturday night. I've got no snobbism,
regular or reverse. Only requirement is honest food.

I'm surprised there isn't a Weird Al song involving chiles (although there
may be a passing reference in Taco Grande), since he has so many tunes about
food. Or is there, and I'm missing something??? Anywhoooo, anybody catch him
on "Win Ben Stein's Money" last week, along with C.C. DeVille (sp?) and, I
believe, Matthew Sweet, (with whom I'm not familiar aside from having heard of
him)???

One place I especially enjoyed was Los Dos Molinos. The food is as hot as
you like it, authentic and unpretentious. A casual and very popular place.
I believe this is in Mesa, which isn't too far. No credit cards.

Welcome Patty. Looks as though your troubles have been resolved. I wasn't
aware, however, that Earthlink was also in the beverage industry. This drink
you mention sounds rather yummy. Perhaps I will give them a try when my year
with ticon is up.

You will find several to many organic gardeners here; or perhaps you already
have, if you've been lurking for a while. In any event, welcome again, and I'm
sure you will find all the info. you came in search of, and a WHOLE lot more.
Good luck with your new batch of babies; I still need to get my but in gear...
Oh yeah, just mix in a little Hab. mash with your housekeeper's bubble bath,
or maybe her facial soap, that should help her remember to bring in your plants
next time.

Subject: [CH] Fungus??!!??
Got a question, more like a problem with a couple of my seedlings. I have
just noticed what appears to be a fungus on the surface of the potting peat.
The seedlings don't appear to be any worse for wear, but I don't want this
to become a problem. Right now it is only on a couple of the pots, but I am
worried that it might spread. I may have kept the soil too wet and I am now
letting it dry out. Should I (gulp!!!) sacrifice the infected pots to save
the rest of the batch or is the some way to defeat this interloper?. They
are all together in a peat potting tray. I am pretty new at this, but so
far I have managed to get a pretty good start. Any and all help will be
greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: [CH] Fungus??!!??
Kevin,
there's a host of possibilities here !
while you may indeed have a mold problem , or a fungus that could
cause difficulties with the successful rearing of chilies, it's also
possible that what's growing in the pot along with your plants might
be an edible mushroom! it happens with morels quite commonly here
in the PacNW. ( do NOT eat mushrooms unless advised by a
mushroom expert : read mycologist )
some fungi form beneficial mycorrhizal associations with the roots of
flowering plants; a symbiotic relationship where nutrients are shared.
or it could be just a "toadstool". maybe even a toxic one.
anyway, one thing i know for certain ...
it's flat-out impossible to identify mushrooms by e-mail !!
so check with a pro.

well, i must say i can understand the situation...afterall, not
everyone is truly a Nekkid Twister [TM!] fanatic, even if they claim

Odd, I think. It's the flesh of others to which we are all
attracted, but to actually get nekkid in a pile, especially a group
pile?? people run for cover (sorry Frankie..).
all the guy needed was some pineapple habanero salsa, some nice clean

Overwatering chiles makes little sense since chiles are happiest when
they are thirsty. The best part is that thirsty chiles get much hotter.

You may want to check out your local library for back issues of Chile Pepper
Magazine. They used to run reader submitted photos of chile tattoos in the
letters section. Not sure if they still do, as I haven't really had time to
crack open the last two. But you might glean some ideas there. Also try
either the Dewitt / Bosland book "Peppers of the World", or if you have even a
half-way decent printer, Graeme's site at
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~gcaselton/chile/chile.html . Both have many,
many excellent color photos.
Happy hunting.

Hey Ya'll, Tats are fun although somewhat expensive. I was thinking of an

No, they are a good thing, mostly. Except seed saving won't give you the

Not necessarily, but they tend to be different. Plant breeders
create hybrids all the time. Sometimes it works out well and
you get the better properties of the "parents" and sometimes
they get plants with properties that are less desireable.
Hybrids don't tend to breed true, that is, the "children" of
hybrids may have very different characteristics than the
hybrid parents.
FWIW, seed savers want seeds that breed true, and that tends to
exclude hybrids.
Bottom line is, if you plan to save seeds, you should be
concerned about hybrids; but if you buy your seeds, then
you don't need to worry about hybrids/

If you have an Odd Job near you, they have Casa Italica Sliced Jalapenos in
a 12 oz jar for $1.29. Normally $1.99. Not a big sale but thought I should
let the other chile-heads know. They also had some extra virgin olive oil
infused with chiles awhile back. I got 2 bottles of oil from the same
company - one with truffles in it and another with lemon in it. About $3.99
a bottle. They also have El Torito Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce in 10 oz cans
for 49 cents a piece. Pretty good stuff. A little spiciness - 3 kinds of
chiles in it. I picked up another can yesterday.
Anyway, wanted to let everyone know.

I have a yard but no garden and have been growing peppers in pots for
years. All of them seem to do well: I have grown sweet and hot banana
peppers, jalapenos, cayennes, habaneros, an F1 hybrid called Super
Chili and some kind of ornamental chile called "Chinese Fire Pepper" by
the nursery who sold me them to me as little bedding plants.
If you cut back the plant to about half each fall, let them go dormant
with no fertilizer and minimal water over winter and re-pot each spring
they tend to live 2 to 4 years. I use grow lights from Nov to March and
put them out on the deck during our short summers (June to August).
I live in Yellowknife, in northern Canada, so your methods will be
different but I would imagine you could grow any variety you choose.

I've done well on the windowsill with Super Chiles, which are
of about cayenne heat and have a very nice serrano-ish flavor; they're
prolific as hell, quite attractive and of manageable plant size.
I also have a three-year-old, 1ftx1ft _siling labuyo_ plant (a Filipino
wild-type native, fruits about 3/4" to 1" by 3/16", bright red) doing
great in a six-inch pot on my east-facing bedroom windowsill; it bears
several times a year. Pretty little sucker, too, and the peppers are
quite hot and have a lot of flavor. Not bad for something I started as
an experiment, from seeds from the bottom of a jar of pickled peppers,
when the cats trashed a bunch of
my seedlings from "bought" seeds and I didn't want to buy more.
(My junior cat is a chilehead.)
_Siling labuyo_ plants are said to get quite a lot bigger outdoors, and
I'm going to put some out this year.

Gotta give Ron Levi a plug for the delicious chocolate almonds I bought from
him. Wonderful creamy rich chocolate, crisp nuts and just the right burn
for a chilehead of the moderate persuasion. My husband thought they were
full of fire! He's of Norwegian descent, however, and even moderate hotness
is too much for his delicate palate. It also makes his head itch!

Careful with the Norski bashing :-) Delicate palates? I think not --
remember the Norwegians are famous for gammel ost (old cheese) and lutefisk!
BTW -- I have always liked lutefisk with lots of butter and black pepper,
but this year I tried it with cayenne, mmmmm good! Haven't tried gammel
ost with pepper yet, can't get past the smell. For you non-Norwegians,
gammel ost is quite similar to limburger.
Got the peppers planted this week -- 2500 jalapenos, 1000 anaheim, 1000
serrano, 500 habanero, and a mixture of others. Also planted tomatoes and
bell peppers, ready for salsa season ;-) Cut back some this year.

Subject: [CH] Tonight's Dinner - Mimi's Sticky Chicken - x/p DePepperMan
This was tonight's dinner. Boy is this the easiest and most wonderful
chicken in the world. All bbqers know about slow cooking and this is
definitely a slow cooking bird. The recipe has to be begun the day before
(if you really have a chance to) but it can be done the same day (I did
today. Bird didn't defrost completely until an hour before it had to go in
the oven so I marinated it in the dry rub for 1 hour and then put the temp
up a bit - 275F - and it took 4 hours instead of 5).
Serve with potatoes and salad or anything you usually serve chicken with.
This is so easy and yummy. Of course, if you wish to use a different chile
than cayenne, go ahead.

Mimi's Sticky Chicken
Recipe By : Mimi Hiller, Mimi's Cyber-Kitchen
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Poultry
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
- -------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 3 lb chicken -- washed
Seasoning Mix:
2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme -- crumbled
1/2 tsp white pepper -- freshly ground
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper -- freshly ground
1 cup onion -- chopped*
water or broth -- for basting
Preheat oven to 250°F (yes, 250°F)
Combine all spices in small bowl (this can be done hours ahead of time).
Rinse chicken, inside and out and dry well. Rub spice mixture over skin and
the inside of the chicken. Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal and
refrigerate overnight. **
When ready to roast, stuff cavity with onions. Place chicken breast-skide
down, in roasting pan, Roast, uncovered, at 250°F. Anything over 225°F is
safe as long as the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least
155°F, which this does and more, for about 5 hours.
Baste occasionally with pan juices or until juices run clear and juices
start to caramelize on the bottom of the pan and chicken is golden brown.
Serves 6.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
NOTES : Risa's notes:
* I used 1/2 large sweet onion in the cavity along with some fresh herbs.
** I didn't do this overnight, just an hour or so but it still flavored the
chicken pretty well.
I got this from http://www.cyber-kitchen.com. Mimi's site. Great site. GREAT
recipe. Not quick but really easy and yummy.
You won't be sorry if you make this. I've made it at least 3 more times
before (even once in the crockpot, seared on top of the stove first and once
in the Nesco) and it always comes out great.
