Yesterday Linda and I stopped at Lowe's home and garden store - for nothing more than a 24" X 24" stepping stone. Of course we got a bunch of stuff, including a nicle little hab plant about six inches tall and stocky. Now I know that many of you have been working hard to raise seedlings, and I feel somehow like I'm cheating, but I DON'T CARE I HAVE MY HAB heh heh heh. As the weather was perfect, I hickory-smoked some pork loin, and since I had room on the rack and peppers on hand, I also smoked some red habs and cherries. They didn't cook to the point of drying; they're more like a medium roast, lots of dark brown and some black. What to do next ... I think I'll try something new here. I want to see what happens if I proceeed as if these were not smoked, and process them into a smooth red sauce with a texture like Frank's or a typical Louisana hot sauce. (It suddenly hits me that I should have smoked garlic, too...) It wouldn't be a regular red flavor, and it wouldn't quite be a chipotle flavor either. - A _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
