I have dragged my knuckles so long all I have left is stubs.. throw 
'maters - I think not - throw chocolate habs yes and those you catch you 
can not eat nor may you pick up the ones you miss - your penance!
I am still growing in pots - still making sauce for the FireFighters in 
town and the kids at school (us too)- October ain't that far away.
Dominoes - sh!t.  we ain't that young - checkers may be - but more 
likely to play - NT! with mango salsa and hab jelly!
For a smoker for habs - foil and a grill with mesquite chips - get the 
chips going turn off the gas and put in the habs (halved with seeds) 
finish in a dehydrator if needed or vacuum pack and freeze.

Christ is is nice to see something get stirred up around here! thanks Dot!

I can't wait till the Choc's are ready for harvest, some of this batch 
will go into toasted Choc Hab Pecans with honey and brown sugar.
Sandy will be glad to hear I have moderated a bit in the heat - it is 
nice to overwhelm yourself once and a while.
So Jim - when is the next batch of bread gonna be given away? (oops back 
to the ol')
This year - Thai - Chocs - Savina - Hungarian yellows - and some 
unknowns from a past student or two.  Mex Tex ? Thai?
We'z just awaitin' for the damn things to ripen!

cheers
keep um comin'
