Chiles are good in mixed drinks. There aren’t a lot of specific recipes, though. My recently-published World’s Quickest Bar Guide (for Kindle) has very few options, and believe me, I looked. You can use pepper-flavored vegetable juice to add some heat, or you can use hot sauces like Sriracha to punch up your Bloody Mary. I [...] This entry is part of a series, Pepper Jelly Chronicles» Remember how I said I was through making pepper jellies for the year? Well, I lied through both teeth like an Oriental rug prevaricated and dissembled got talked into making some more. (That’s it! “Talked into.”) For some reason, Central Market had some great-looking, fresh [...]
Source Interlink Media claims to be America’s premier source for special-interest publications. Their food category is published under the Popular Plates imprint.

That’s about how far it is to Taste of Ethiopia, a small bit of east Africa right in my own [...] This entry is part of a series, Pepper Jelly Chronicles» One more pepper jelly and then we’re done (for a while, at least). Today I made jalapeño jelly, using a dozen fresh chiles and two medium green bell peppers. Nothing much special, although I added one interesting ingredient: Fresh basil from the garden. I decided [...]
Welcome to a new month! Hopefully it’ll be the start of a Major Cooldown here in Texas. With rain. (Please, let there be plenty of rain.) The last holiday of the summer is upon us, schools are back in session, and you’re thinking fish tomorrow. Don’t ask me how that connection got made; I [...] This entry is part of a series, Pepper Jelly Chronicles» The Real Hatch Chile Festival isn’t until Labor Day, but we’re having ours here in central Texas right now (courtesy of H.E.B. Central Market). But then, you already know we’re ahead of our time here. Anyway, to get into the spirit of the thing [...] |
