I don't have a whole lot to work with, just 5 cayennes and about 10 or so of all the others. The guy that gave them to me said he makes pepper flakes with his though and its awesome because they are so colorful instead of just red like store bought flakes.

Kinda OT but...A coworker of mine gave me a bucket of chiles from his greenhouse and I'm waffling on what to do with them. I've got some cayennes, Thais, jalapenos, and lemon drops. My first thought was to make a pot of chili con carne with fresh peppers, then I thought I could make a nice...

I've got a handful of Jewel songs mixed in amongst my punk and metal, plus Fade Into You by Mazy Star and Leader of Men by Nickelback. Seriously, when I first heard Leader of Men I had no effing idea it was Nickelback and it is the one and only song by that I like by that awful, retched...

Tonights veggie quinoa chili. I got a wild hair on my ass to try this recipe that I made up from nothing. What I would change with this recipe would be some fresh garlic instead of powder, and cut the quinoa by half, which seems to be my decision about all recipes I make that have quinoa. I...

I am literally this moment watching a rerun of the show Brewmasters where they have to dump out a batch of 120 Minute IPA because there was a problem with fermentation and are claiming that it is the strongest beer ever.

They did drop the morse code requirement a couple years ago and restructured the frequency privileges for the license classes. Nowadays the entry level Technician licenses get some voice and CW on the 10 meter band and CW only on a couple other HF bands so that opens up the possibilities of...

The voltage and resistances were given in the description, and you know its in parallel so you can calculate the total resistance. Even back in the early 2000s though when I was learning all this we did it all on breadboards and with variable power supplies and benchtop multimeters. One of my...

Even to this day, I know exactly what it is when I catch a whiff of burned up ICs and resistors.

Current is additive in parallel so over all current would be 4.4 amps. I guess saying it is additive may not be 100% accurate, but the current divides along each path in the circuit and more current will take the path of less resistance (as indicated by Ohms Law and Kirchoffs Second Law). To...

I made a quinoa veggie soup last night. Sweat one chopped onion, a couple handfuls of chopped carrots, and 3-4 cloves of diced garlic in olive oil until the onions are done. Add 2 cartons of broth, an undrained can of diced tomatoes, a cup of uncooked quinoa, and a half teaspoon each of...

It was an accident once, then on purpose every time after that. :)

I got a crazy idea for a meatless chili recipe a couple days ago and got ingredients at the store yesterday, so I'll be doing that some time this week. My number one objective with this recipe is to stay away from tomatoes for the bulk of the body of the chili.

Are you anywhere where you get lots of deer? Deer like mushrooms. A lot of times I've found some nice shaggy manes and morels and decided to leave them for a day or two so they could grow a little bigger only to find them eaten off with fresh deer tracks all around.

Yeah, I usually start wondering what to do for dinner around 3:00 so I'm thinking if I could do a fast dough I could be making pizza that night.

Does the light really put ff enough heat for that to work? I guess with the door shut it might keep it a bit above room temperature. If a guy were to use his upright freezer turned temperature controlled fermentation chamber with a heating element what would be a good temperature to set it at...
