Peter, I would love to trade some pepper seeds for Rosemary ( maybe a
cutting?) I live in New Orleans and the rosemary I have here never
gets over 8 inches tall, I think I need a variety that can withstand
the heat & humidity better, you're in Florida, should be similar,
maybe the variety you have is a winner, no?
The peppers I have been growing so far are more about flavor than
heat: I have these to trade: FQ Cayenne, Hungarian Hot Wax,
Ancho(poblano), conchi di toro (Italian sweet bulls horn.) I have
others too (flowers,vines etc) Email me private if you're interested.
Simple Uses for Rosemary:
Rosemary means remembrance, wear a sprig in your lapel when gardening
and you will feel invigorated & recall positive experiences. At the
end of the day put it in a bowl on the back of your toilet and you are
on your way to a potpourri.
I like to make a kind of Cuban porkchop.
Warm some green olive oil and add a sprig of rosemary, a chopped
garlic clove, a pinch of cumin, cuban or conchi di toro sweet peppers
or, HOT ones if you prefer,chopped or slivered, Then when the scents
peak, add a couple thin pork chops, brown, then hit it with some white
wine, turn down to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes or til done. Serve
with black beans and rice.
Wrap a fresh fish with lots of rosemary sprigs and lemons and bake it
in foil. YUM
Stuff a chicken with rosemary sprigs and put garlic cloves between the
skin and the chicken. Rub it with olive oil, s&p. Put in a very hot
oven (425) for 20 minutes then turn down to 350 and bake an hour or
til done. Your neighbors will be knocking on the door when they smell
it cooking. :)
I have a recipe for a rosemary pesto that's great over potatoes or
with bread if that interests you? I'll look for it.
As for the spelling thang, most geniuses can't spell for s--- and the
older you get the less you can do it or need it so relax in your
retirement but Yahoo mail has one, I should use it I guess.
"No te preocupes, se feliz, laissez les bon temps rouler!"
(Don't worry be happy, let the good times roll!)
grow peppers, stay sweet, hot & spicy,
