Tomaters!

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

We plan on doing lots of canning this year, so we have lots of tomatoes.  With a 4-foot tall beast like this already growing in my organic garden, I don’t think we are going to be able to eat them all. We also have a couple of stowaways in one of my compost piles.  My [...]

Blue Moon Grand Cru Beer Review

Sunday, December 13, 2009

Blue Moon has released their limited edition Grand Cru wheat beer.  It was a bit expensive, but I had to try it out because it is only brewed once every 20 years. I poured the slightly chilled Grand Cru into a snifter producing a dirty squash colored brew with huge chunks left from bottle conditioning [...]

Bacon Mat!

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Some people call me a “Bacon Enthusiast”.  Tonight, I wanted to get the most bacon per square inch in our omelettes.  We wove the bacon into a bacon mat.  It was delicious.

Bhut Jolokia Medium Challenge: WIN

Monday, November 30, 2009

I thought my results were inconsistent with the Bhut Jolokia medium challenge.  NOT SO! The Higromite pulled ahead with the extra silicon in the medium, the hydroton came in second place and organic soil came in third over time.  All plants are being fed 900 ppm FloraNova.

Bhut Jolokia Update

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

I have an update on my Bhut Jolokia Peppers being fed Flora Nova and FloraNectar.  I have about 25 that have ripened up and have been collected so far. I blame my success with Bhut Jolokia on being able to slam this particular pepper variety with higher nutrients.  I am able to use up to [...]
