Chilli shopping

February 2nd, 2010 · Chilli Tat, Cooking with Chilli's

I got dragged around Heales and Habitat on Sunday, in one of them I spotted these mini Tabasco bottles.

I bought to Rose Harissa from a fancy deli in Islington. It didn’t travel well but tasted good.

Rose Harissa is made from Chilli, Garlic, black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg and vegetable oil. Probably easy to make your own.

Today due to unavoidable circumstances I had to go to a supermarket. I picked these up in Berkhamsted Waitrose.

Econa Sauce, Chilli Flat Breads and Mexican Beans. I never want to see another shop again, I think I deserve a night in the pub for my efforts.

I’ve been smuggling chilli plants

January 30th, 2010 · 2010 Chilli's, Chilli Pictures, Growing Chillis

Berkhamsted Majestic are still giving away wine boxes in exchange for a charity donation so I got one to smuggle my baby chilli plants into my lounge. The lounge is the warmest and one of the brightest rooms in the house, but Doris gets annoyed when I take over the house with my plants.

Completely disguised, she’ll never spot them.

Recently I installed a big wood burner, which is nice

January 27th, 2010 · Growing Chillis

I like fires and it’s damn cold so I bought this fire monster.

I assumed ash was always good for soil, but it seems not wood ash. Read this article from the New Mexico State University.

Thinking I shouldn’t have dumped so much wood ash in my vegetable patch.
