I hope this is going out to the right people. I'm trying to find a rough

1 tablespoon of seed (e.g. coriander) would be equivalent to ????? of ground

Subject: [CH] Citrus/Cat Barrier, Was Aphids and Whiteflies
Chris, we have a saying around these parts that goes "Can't even win for
losing!". You seem to have very unusual cats because citrus is
"supposed" to be a mild repellant and an irritant on cats' skin and
noses and such. Before I suggest you try blended, filtered hot pepper
and garlic tea or habanero dust on the plants as a repellant, perhaps
you could ask your cats if they LIKE pepper/garlic tea.. LOL. You may
have to resort to mechanical barriers such as chicken wire cages or
up-ended tall laundry baskets over the plants or a wide strip of crushed
pecan shells that they would rather not walk on. Although an unusual
barrier method, pecan shells can be purchased in bulk and make a good
mulch.
Has anyone tried putting a thin, translucent white trash bag over the
entire plant as a cat buffet barrier? In fact if string is used to
secure the bag at the bottom, it might even make a temporary
mini-greenhouse of sorts. The white color of the bag SHOULD diffuse
ambient light enough for the plant to keep growing while covered.
CAUTION: Be wary of direct sunlight as it might COOK the plant in the
bag.

5 in 1 pot.
A couple things that you might be lucky with so far.
Crowded plants are more prone to diseases.
If you get a whitefly or aphid infestation, it will be more difficult to get

Cdn weather is usually described as good snowmobiling or poor snowmobiling.
When you get tired of the sled, you play hockey or cook.

Hi Luke.
You wrote CH-L
<<(If you try the Sambal Badjak (chili/onion/shrimp paste) please let me
know what it is like.>>
This is a staple in our pantry/fridge. Much like anchovy paste does in a
dish, the shrimp paste more or less disappears and all you are left with is
an intensly flavored chile paste flavor with a depth and range of flavors
you can't quite put your finger on. It is our favorite in Hot and Sour soup
and we use it in many American soups, too. It is often stirred in at the
end of stir frys here, etc. etc. I much prefer it to Sambal Olek, which
tastes almost bland to me in comparison.

While in a Vietnamese restaurant recently I learned a new way (to me at
least) to use Sriracha. The owner suggested I mix half and half Sriracha
with Hoisin. The result was a really good dipping sauce for the beef in my
Pho. YUM. I've since used it for egg rolls and other dipping foods at
home. I now like to put the two side by side rather than completely mix.
That way I can use the sauce three ways: sriracha alone, the mixture in the
middle or hoisin alone as the mood strikes with each bite. Deb in Houston

Does anyone know what the effects of Phels-naptha (sp?) soap being rubbed
on
chiles might be? Our breeder highly recommended it for rubbing on power
cords,
etc. should the new kitties develop a taste for them. Fortunately, we have
never needed to worry about it, since they are so well behaved. But
apparently
they really hate the flavor of it. Just a thought....

Sounds like the old joke about how Wisconsinites (MN, ND, MT, etc. prob.
also) define summer as "three months of bad sledding". Although for some of

it's also called "growing season". :-)

Hey.........thank you! That is a pretty good idea. We have one little girl
who
loves to lay in the dirt. Fortunately, she doesn't do anything else in it;
she
just seems to have some attraction to the soil that her brothers don't
share.
Might be tough to find something that works with the small seedlings though,
when they are too large to keep the domes on the starting trays. But I shall
hunt for something....

Sure seems to be the case; Doug is the man. I certainly hope everyone
took
this in the tongue-in-cheek, innocuously smart-assed manner in which it was

Please don't charge me double, Jim, but I will definitely be a repeat

This week, I tried Jim's Original Finishing Sauce, Smokin' Chipotle, and
Fiery Hot Hab Sauce.
The Finishing Sauce is good, but, I gotta say that Smokin' Chipotle may
well be my new favorite all around sauce for BBQ . Yum!
And the Fiery Hot's flavor is "to die for"! of course, it's well,
...Fiery HOT! In fact, at first taste, I was afraid it was too hot, but
you know how it is...that's the one I kept going back for...so, maybe
it'll be my new favorite all around BBQ, dipping, whatever sauce.
And, I got a suprise in my package...my other favorite sauce, Ralph's
Righteous. Yipppeeee!
OK, I admit it. I don't know what my favorite sauce is. But I've plenty

Michelle,
Ditto here for the Smokin' Chopotle being a GREAT BBQ sauce. Ittiz sweet,
and seems so "ho-hum-yawnish-run-o'the-mill" Q-ish... And then the smooth,
smokey taste comes rolling off the back of your tongue, billowing forward.
Not super hot, not super wimpy. The sweet really compliments the smokey
chipotle - a new taste sensation for me!
Just an xcellent, all around - can't WAIT to try it on pork!!! - Q-y kind'a
sauce.
At first I was disappointed because I was used to "generic" kinds'a chipotle
sauces, but the more times I tried the Smokin' Chipotle (was licking it off
my finger to get a sample... Didn't know how else to try it and I so badly
wanted a taste!), the more my eyebrows rose and I thought, "Gee... This is
good! Would be great for a Q!"
I've not yet tried the Firey Hot Hab... "CLUCK, CLUCK, CLUCK!" <g>
But by far the BEST chipotle powder I've ever had is Jim's. Can't get enuff

I can not agree more! My Belgian husband is definitely NOT a Chilihead, yet
he eats this stuff with
a spoon <literally!> and swears he's seen the light... It is without a
doubt the BEST BBQ sauce in
all my years of BBQing, and it's great on EVERYthing. Even my dog loves it,
the little sneak was
trying to chew into a bottle the other day after he got a taste of my pizza
with Jim's sauce
liberally spread on it... but then, Jack Russels love a good fight, so I
hear! <S>
Jim, I know you're out there, all I can say is, Amen, brother! And THANKS!

Qua Cats and Plants....
I used to great success one year a monofilament net made for net
fishing, set on stakes at about
6" or so over the ground, and set my seedlings out in that (note, weed
barrier was laid down
first!)... neither the crows, nor the cats gave me much grief that year!
Pity now is I have neither
the net nor the space for a real garden, and Belgian weather, well... Miss

Hey.........thank you! That is a pretty good idea. We have one little girl
who
loves to lay in the dirt. Fortunately, she doesn't do anything else in it;
she
just seems to have some attraction to the soil that her brothers don't
share.
Might be tough to find something that works with the small seedlings though,
when they are too large to keep the domes on the starting trays. But I shall
hunt for something....

Subject: [CH] WARNING---Exploding Sauce (More!)
Here's that item on the exloding sauce:
Filed at 3:05 a.m. EST
By The Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) -- The state Department of Health has raised a
red
flag about a locally popular hot sauce.
Health officials said certain batches of Tuong Ot Sriracha Hot
Chili
Sauce can splatter upon opening, irritating the eyes and other
mucous
membranes that come into contact with it. One injury has been
reported.
The problem is a result of excessive gas production within the
17-ounce
and 28-ounce plastic bottles, the department said Tuesday. The
sauce is
made by Huy Fong Foods Inc. of Rosemead, Calif.
Consumers were advised to discard unopened bottles of the
sauce
bearing the codes H9TM, H9TA, H9TX, H9TW or H9TY, or to return
the bottles to stores where they were purchased.
Huy Fong Foods voluntarily recalled the sauce in September
because the
garlic used to make it began to ferment and form gases that
pressurized
the contents of the bottle, health officials said.
Authorities said they continue to find recalled bottles still
in stores,
prompting Tuesday's health advisory.

I know that Tabasco has a "holster" to carry a bottle of their sauce
on your belt. Does anyone sell just a "bottle holster"? I don't need
more Tabasco but thought it might be fun to "arm" myself when
going to a party or picnic. Of course, with all the different sauces
we seem to have, maybe a "bottle bandolier" would be more
appropriate!

Did anybody else get a catalog from "gardens alive!" ? They
seem to have a lot of interesting products and appear to be
heavily committed to organic gardening. If nothing else, the
catalog is chock full of color photos of all kinds of insect pests,
wilts, rots and other assorted nasties. Might be of help to those
trying to identify a problem. It also had a "rub the spot to see
how
much your rebate is" and I was surprised to get a $20 rebate.
That is enough to pay for a couple of their products, shipping
included.

When I had my tonsils out, at age 30, I found that the heat from burritos
and sauce worked wonders for the healing process. I was eating them the next
day (of course I made sure everything was gound up well and that there were
no big pieces). My wife was having a fit..."You just had surgery, you
shouldn't be eating those things!"

Hello Chili Heads,
I have been growing habs and dragons for several years now and always
planted from store bought seed. I was wondering what kind of experiences
people have had planting seeds that resulted from crosses in their
gardens? I am not trying to cross habs and dragons but this year I have
more room in my garden and I am going to grow a couple of different kinds
of habs and maybe next year plant of few of the seeds from them to see what
comes out.

Subject: Re: [CH] Garden Crosses
O.J.-
I dedicate a plot of garden each year to "accidents". I plant seeds from
previous summer varieties I especially like which are open-pollenated. I
have
gotten some really good pods this way, with 3 hybrids well worth the effort.
After the F1, genetics get really complicated, so I have been using cuttings
to
maintain the genes while I work with self pollenation. I am working with
one
hybrid that grew to 6' in one season, had a 1.5" thick woody trunk, and made
over 500 1" to 2" VERY hot VERY red pods. All of her offspring to date have
been similar, with color and pod shape variations, and intense heat. I have
another that is a cross between a wild Bolivian Chinense and my Tepins that
makes a pod full of juice!!! When you bite into it (smaller than a marble)
it
slams your senses to the ground and stomps on you as the juice goes
everywhere.
I am working on stabilizing this one, too.
Well worth the effort if you have the space.

Hey, cottage cheese is one of my favorites to sprinkle Calvin's on. I scoop
it right out of the carton with stalks of celery. And, it does make an
edible creation out of mac and cheese too.
Can you tell I don't cook much?

I thought of something else your sore gums might tolerate. Try it on ripe
fresh sliced mango at room temperature. Buy several or you'll end up going
back to the store for more if you like mango. Hope your gums heal up
quickly.
