Here's an excellent carob drink recipe (without exact measurements):
* Carob
* Almond milk (not sweetened or flavored)
* Brown sugar
Heat it on the stovetop.
Anyway, it tastes kind of like hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows in it. It's not bitter at all. But yes, it doesn't taste...read more

So, before I last went to sleep, I commenced dehydrating all our hot peppers, except the ones on the plants that I somehow missed during harvest. There always seem to be a few stragglers.
I'm no stranger to cutting up hot peppers (including superhots) with unprotected hands (although I don't ...read more

Okay, in 2021, I'm focusing on sweet peppers, including several orange sweet peppers. No hot peppers, this year. They're all Capsicum annuum sweet peppers.
This is mostly the beginning of a breeding project. I'm hoping to breed prolific, early, purple/orange, medium-sized, cone-shaped, thick-...read more

You probably know that black pepper is a common seasoning to add a little extra flavor, but did you know it has some pretty remarkable traits?
1. If you don't like the taste/smell of cloves, add black pepper! I got some turkey franks (turkey hotdogs) the other day, and they tasted strongly of...read more

So, apparently, capsaicin inhibits collagen fiber formation, but it improves the fibers at the same time. This could be very interesting information for those with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (some people who have some symptoms but lack others might benefit from capsaicin, and some people should prob...read more

Don't plant squash next to muskmelons, unless you want squash bugs eating your melons, too. I've had it happen twice, including this year with a squash that I previously though squash bugs didn't like much. (But, apparently, they'll eat it if they don't have anything else nearby.)
Anyway, the...read more

So, in 2017, I grew a Carolina Cross #183 watermelon plant (probably a cross of one, though, since it was from seeds I saved in 2016). Anyway, it started getting a nice-sized fruit, but it got BER. I saved the seeds, and wanted to find out if seeds from BER fruits were more or less likely to get...read more

I discovered that if I cook milk just right, and then refrigerate it, that it gets a desirable vanilla-like taste to it. Very interesting. I cooked it on low or medium-low heat for a long time. Think like over 30 minutes. It was Gteat Value vitamin D milk.

I just had a relative taste test several cherry tomatoes: Isis Candy, Eva, Brown Berry, Esterina F1, and Austin's Black Cherry.
She liked Eva, and Esterina F1 the most. From my own taste test of those (not today), I liked Eva and Austin's Black Cherry the most. It looks like we agree on Eva; ...read more

So, I dehydrated these tomatoes last night (and today):
And we got this result:
I had them on 167 for about 5 hours, and 145 the rest of the time. Different temperatures would assuredly get different flavors. Most of them seem to taste like tomato soup with a zing and a little swee...read more

I just learned that late blight (Phytophthora infestans) of tomatoes isn't even a fungus. It's a chromist! Early blight (Alternaria solani) is a fungus, though. That's interesting that early blight is a form of Alternaria!

We've been getting a lot of cucumbers, this year (they're all Spacemaster, unless you count West India burr gherkins as cucumbers). Anyway, we decided to dehydrate a batch of them (six 15" x 13" trays)! They smell just like the dehydrated watermelon.
They're resting on silicone mesh...read more
