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.

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. regards peter g "Mycology beats Urology any day."

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.

Are hybrids a bad thing? 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/ Chuck Demas Eat Healthy | _ _ | Nothing would be done at all, Stay Fit | @ @ | If a man waited to do it so well, Die Anyway | v | That no one could find fault with it. demas@tiac.net | \___/ | http://www.tiac.net/users/demas - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 12:29:31 -0500 From: "RisaG" <radiorlg@home.com> Subject: [CH] Odd Job Shopping - x/p to DePepperMan 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'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. Keep on rockin', Rain @@@@ \\\\\\ Is someone here? I ask. The moon, you say. The full moon is inside your house. My friends and I go running out into the street. _I'm in here_, comes a voice from the house, but we aren't listening.

He's of Norwegian descent, however, and even >moderate hotness is too much for his delicate palate 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. - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2001 13:30:26 -0500 From: Myron Menaker <myronm@bellsouth.net> Subject: [CH] "Sour Oranges?"

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. * Exported from MasterCook * 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.
