Hey guys, just signed up with this list a few days ago, and must say I've
found it informative, entertaining, and enlightening (always lurk for a few
days before posting just in case I end up thinking "Ewwwwww, whatta buncha
marooons!" ;D ;D
I'm a fellow chile head in Richmond, VA; always plant a "salsa garden" every
spring (cilantro, tomatoes, peppers) using every available ledge, fire
escape or back porch I've got. This year it's a fire escape, and must say,
my habaneros are doing QUITE nicely; have already harvested five (all the
same deep orange color and size; hmmmm, maybe I should submit them to the
state fair, lol!) These are currently drying in my oven------plan to
harvest more over the weekend and make some hot sauce (have never tried this
before, should be fun, need to stock up on latex gloves! Luckily I work in a
hospital so these are everywhere :) :)
Was growing tomatoes too, but these? not so good, so I ended up taking the
wire screen thingy off the tomato plant and putting it in/around the
habanero plant. I'm using a huge plastic pot made for planting trees, and
the 4 plants in this pot have gotten HUGE (or at least much bigger than they
were last year when I grew them inside). It's like "screw the tomatoes,
just look at them peppers!!!" :D
Your stories on lutefisk are hysterical; they remind me of a farmer's
cookbook I came across at Whiting's Paper a few years ago (antique paper
shop). In it was a recipe for rice cooked with lye. The last step in the
recipe?
"If possible rinse cooked rice under running
water----------------------------for 4 HOURS!"
LOLOLOL, this still cracks me up.
keep them recipes coming! I've never used the "cut/paste" feature so much in
my life :)

challenged" so I'll leave it off, pronounced "juh nay" yeah I know, I know,
my parents were hippies whattya want from me anyway? :D :D
