Insomnia Thread...

More mystery peppers! Just what you need, eh? I don't know, I like the chocolate looking peppers. I like that little curly kind of look to them too. I wonder if they are sweet or hot? Too bad they don't taste like CHOCOLATE!!! My favorite tasting peppers so far have been FISH! What country did they come from?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

They're an African heirloom, Janan.


Not sure if these mystery ones will be sweet or hot but I suspect sweet because of their size. Guess I'll know soon enough...


So I'm just hanging out tonight reading and fussing over my A-G plants. I just love having berries growing. They cheer me up. Henry would be all over them if he was here.


Tomorrow I should be gobbling about four or five of them. Might put them on my cereal.

Ok Jordan, since Cam's not coming to your rescue, I have located three sponges in one of my boxes and I will send them off quickly in an envelope for now, so you won't have to wait any longer.


I honestly didn't realize you were waiting on me like that. Hopefully if I send them by tomorrow, you'll get them by next Monday. Sorry for the wait but at least you can get started. Do you want me to include a few of the Alpine strawberry seeds too?


Oh and Janan...can you help me with my three-pod system? I've lost the manual and don't know how to turn it off at the same time each night. It seems to be different from the others.

Hi Hollyberry lady. I was curious. Do you have a website or blog?

[Jananas Bananas]

Sherry I posted a link for you in the AG thread.

I just saw the post a few minutes ago.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Janan, thanks for that link. It was very helpful to me. I had no idea about the plug being the way to set it. Very different from my others. It was coming on in the middle of the night when the other systems were off. Thanks again.


Nope, I don't have a website or a blog, Tommyg. Others have asked me that too.


Jordan, I've got your sponges in an envelope and I'm going to mail them this evening. Let me know if you want any seeds for now also.


: )

[tommyg]

You can create one for free on blogger.com. I only ask because I do have a blogg and was wondering if youd like to write an article about gardening or any thing youve learned from it. I could then publish it on my site and give you credit for it.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the offer and I may take you up on that at some point. Right now I have a lot on the go and am in the process of writing a children's book about my little Henry. Someone encouraged me to do it a long time ago and I feel inspired now that he's passed away. I started it recently.


I could check out your blogg sometime if you'd like, Tommyg.


Well if I don't hear from ya Jordan, I'll just send the sponges and the strawberry seeds to you for now.

Sure that sounds great. Its in my signature. Can you beleive that its 71 here today. That means that my sunroom is probably about 82 degrees. My plants must be really enjoying the weather.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I am very jealous to hear that!


We're sitting at 63 though so it's not so bad. In fact that is super warm for us this time of year. Indian summer in November.

Good afternoon everyone

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good afternoon, Cam. How are things?



I've been busy gabbing on the phone with a friend. Deciding what to make for dinner...



: )

[Willow87]

Hey Sherry everything is great. It rained here today which was nice, luckily the severe weather was east of here. I found more poms had sprouted and I'm soaking the Mexican Bird of Paradise seeds Janan sent. I made some Tamale pie in the slow cooker. My family seemed to enjoy it alot. I've been finding more healthy foods to cook in the slow cooker since my family's schedule changes a lot

[The Hollyberry Lady]

By slow cooker do you mean a crock pot? I like them lots in the summer when it's too hot to have the oven on.


Mmmmmm, I enjoy healthy food so that's great you've been making sure the family is fed well, Cam. I am still deciding what to make tonight.


: )

[Willow87]

Yes I call it slow cooker because one of my friends didn't know what a crock pot was lol. I made taco soup the other night, which is one of my favorites. My mom and sister and I are going to plan what we are going to cook for Thanksgiving. Were definitely making more desserts this year. Last year me and my sister made a homemade cheesecake with raspberry sauce, this year she wants to make apple dumplings which are really good. My mom never could find my aunts recipe to bread pudding, she passed away several years ago and the recipes on the internet aren't even close

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh yummy I love old recipes from Grandmothers and aunts. I come from a long line of good bakers and cooks.


So that taco soup sounds delicious. What's in it?


: )

[Willow87]

Yes my aunt was a great cook and so was my grandma. We lost a lot of their recipes unfortunately. Taco soup has ground beef, kidney beans, black beans, corn, taco seasoning, onions, Rotel and diced tomatoes. I think there were some other things in it but you put sour cream and chopped green onions on top. The juice from the corn and beans makes the soup part. Its very good. I think a previous recipe used Italian dressing seasoning instead of Taco seasoning. I remember seeing your pictures under the what's for dinner thread. My mom is looking through the Southern Living magazines for recipes right now. My sister wants to make some type of alcoholic drink too. I remember the Strawberry Daiquiri she made last year with fresh strawberries. It was really good

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Does that ever sound delicious, Cam. I wanna make that now too!


I didn't end up cooking any dinner tonight after all. Just had a bowl of cereal with nuts, shredded coconut, raisins, and pieces of banana in it. It was delicious!


I was just snapping a few shots for some thread or other...


: )

[Willow87]

LOL you should make some. That cereal sounds really good. I've been eating granola cereal with raisins.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good Morning, Insomniacs!


Hope everyone is have a great Wednesday. Our weather has been really warm lately and I'd like to take a little trip again soon before the snow falls.


Jordan, your sponges are on their way!


I really might make some of that, Cam. It just sounds so damn good.
