Yay, Kerry has the night off!

I wouldn't mind skipping turkey day. It's too close to Christmas here in the states.

Chicken, onion and hatch chile quesadillas

I need something to put behind my boat tires for the winter so that it doesn't roll.......

LOL Well throw some chunks in a cuisinart and make bread crumbs?

Hello croutons.

Wooo Hooo! Hanky Panky! I think @gfron1 would have some ideas about what to do with the nettle and pine needle syrups. Maybe he'll see this and stop over here.

Pizza night again

I don't think I would even like mint sauce but you guys are making it sound good.

I rarely drink liquor...I'mma wine girl. But when I do, that is my favorite drink. YUM.

That looks delicious, BD!

OH the drops look just like the real thing.

Sounds like a perfect afternoon. Good food. Good books. Comfy couch.

Oh Elaina, nice job! Have you told me your ketchup recipe before?

Well, that more than makes up for the hairy melon.

Taro root?

I hope that hairy melon didn't regenerate and attack Anna and Kerry

Chuck the damn melon. Put a steak in the SV and then throw it on the egg. And drink.

Pork ribs done on the smoker for a bit, then tenderized in the IP and then into the CSO for the broil. The one on the left is coated with the leftover syrup from making Cowboy Candy . We really liked it!

I love my Keurig coffee maker. Nice find!

How were the meatballs with pork belly??? I'm starving. I think I would have been face down in that bowl lol.

Thank you! Ok. I will remember that. It never crossed my mind about float until it was too late --I was going to ask here but I was nervous that the jam would start setting up before anyone answered lol.

Thank you!!!! I feel the same way...that green is just.....icky. But, I almost felt like I was committing a heretical act by leaving it out lol. The first time I ever saw hot pepper jelly was when I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade in Colorado. A family up there always hosted a Christmas Eve party and they served both the red and the green over cream cheese with crackers. I thought it was so pretty and festive and it tasted soooooo good. A whole new food for me. After I filled up on crackers, jelly and cheese I then turned my attention to getting my parents to leave because I was terrified that Santa would stop by, see me NOT in bed, and leave.

Ah. Ok, so no pepper pieces. I didn't look at enough different recipes to run across that method. Thank you. I think we will really like the Cowboy Candy. These peppers are hot so I'm hoping the sweet helps lol. YES! The syrup! I skipped the cayenne because of the hot in the peppers and I didn't have turmeric, either, so I just used plain curry powder. Have you used the syrup in different ways?

Ok jelly makers. Did I miss a step? How do you disperse the jalapeño throughout the jelly? Or is this normal? After the jars came out of the water bath I swirled them around but it made no difference. It took forever to de-seed and chop up 2 3/4 cups of jalapeños. And I was nervous. I'm a very new jelly maker. But it set up nicely and it tastes really good. I decided to skip the adding of the green food coloring. Also, I was consulting two different recipes--that were ultimately the same. I followed the directions precisely but they both said I would come out with 6 1/2 pints of jelly. I got 3 with a bit in a 4th jar. Anyway, I have used up all those peppers so I'm happy.
