I've got Thai, Cayenne, and Serranos (they've ripened to red) peppers going in the dehydrator right now. The Thai I will leave whole for adding to my soups and Thai dishes. The Cayenne and Serranos I like to break up in the food processor to make my own chili flake. I throw a little chili...
Thanks! Would it be bad to wrap it up too? Right now I have some calendula cream mixed with clove oil on it... I'm thinking the clove oil might help numb it... but this might be wishful thinking. It's going to take me a couple of hours (and a darvocet) to work up the nerve to do anything with...
Hey, I slammed my finger in the window right across where the cuticle is... I'm not going to the dr. unless my hand is going to fall off. ( My last trip to the ER cost me $600 AFTER my insurance decided it was only responsible to pay $19.) Half the nail is purplish black and it feels like a lot...
Ok everyone... you convinced me to give radishes one more try. I have about 15 seeds left over from my packs and I will throw them in the ground. If I am meant to like radishes cooked or pickled this will be their last chance! :lol::lol:
After sitting in the fridge for the second day I can not detect any turnip taste. It tastes like a light pickled nothing... but really good. It's hard to explain. It's a clean tangy taste. Plus it has this crunch to it that I think we're always chasing with making pickles, but it is finally...
Bubblingbrooks- I diced some of the radishes up superfine and used them for extra filler in eggrolls. The rest of the radishes I gave to my mother who ADORES radishes... she was the one always trying to get me to eat them when I was little. She liked to take the little red ones and carve them...
I never expected to find myself on a quest for pickled turnips. If you told me before all this started that I would devote a year to chasing a crazy pickled vegetable, I would have told you that you were off your rocker. Some people dream big- buy a boat and sail the world, build their own...
I looked at this thread. I don't usually comment on every thread I read because that would mean my commenting on TOO MANY threads. I don't want to be that annoying. I'm not a psycho or a stalker. I'm just bored and find this forum to be more interesting than what's on t.v. most the time...
Thanks Calendula... what I have looks like the illustration on your link. I found the packet and it says Italian Dandelion Chicory (Cichorium intybus). When I looked up Cichorium intybus it apparently means Common Chicory. Hmm...
I just got out of a 12 year career in the cosmetics industry and I thought you guys might want the real scoop...
Yes, it is mostly about sales and marketing. That said, there are some really good products out there that I have seen help women with specific issues (i.e. alpha hydroxy products...
Jrmom- I'll try to find my recipe for the jam, it's buried under everything from last year. My peppers aren't ready yet, so I haven't organized for any of the pepper jams yet. If I remember correctly, I just took a raspberry Jalapeno jam recipe that called for cider vinegar (I love the bite...
Hello, I've been on here for a little bit and I thought I had posted here... but it looks like I hadn't. Ooops! :/ Well I'm in the Central Valley of California where all the raisins come from- Fresno. I grow and dry my own herbs. I grow my own vegetables and can my own salsa, pickles, and...
I wanted to update this with one other thought... I made loquat mulberry jam today. I happen to have a loquat tree that makes a nice mess of everything at the same time the mulberries do... they seem to ripen in unison even though they are half an acre apart :) . So I decided they were trying...
