Well, we had a freeze overnight, so this must be it for the peppers in my gardens. Now I have a mix of pod varieties and states of ripeness. And with other things on hand, there is a cloud of ingredients and probabilities, waiting to precipatate products in my kitchen. I have a lot of orange habs. I just got a 2-for-1 deal on onions. I have carrots. I also have ginger that needs to be pulled out of the garden. I have oranges. I have green baking apples. And today I'm going to a pumpkin farm - I am thinking of making a pie filling with just a light hint of orange hab, that might make some kind of appearance at the hotluck in Madison next April. I also have a lot of red super chiles, some of which I will save for seed. There are a lot of green serranos, and some red ones. There should be some fat ripe jalapenos in the patch at my parents' house. Then I have unripe pods of many types. I think this will probably be another time when I run the food processor out on the patio table, along with the big Coleman camping stove. *cracks knuckles* and I have an unopened box of 8-oz canning jjars... - A _________________________________________________________________ Surf and talk on the phone at the same time with broadband Internet access.
