roasted serranos for salsa or for a very spicy side dish?
Also one lonely arbol chile?

[Giles]

Side dish.... And they all looked pretty similar when I put them in the pan, they were just a couple of packets of "green chillis" from the local supermarket....

[goosehd]

@Giles They still look pretty good. I had zero luck this year with my chillies and nothing really grew. Maybe ended up with a large handful or two for the entire season.

Screwed up and bought plants from local greenhouses instead of starting them myself and it made a huge difference.

Lesson learned.

Yesterday was pizza day

[Giles]

I'm doing a pear tart for dinner tonight. Just went a picked the pears, Jesus, they are enormous this year....

[goosehd]

...but how does it taste? I have found larger fruit less flavourful and more watery/blander than smaller fruit. Often see it with the apples on Laura's family farm and apple orchard.

[Giles]

Dunno, I'm going to poach them to inject some flavour into them anyway

[goosehd]

wine or brandy?

[Giles]

Sugar, cinnamon sticks, star anise and vanilla.....

[jordanscollected]

A couple clove buds and a little citrus peel for zip!

[Giles]

I have lemon peel in there, but forgot the cloves......

[Giles]

Pretty pleased with that.....

[goosehd]

[jordanscollected]

[flannel slut]

Amazing considering it was a "we've got some pears on the tree, what the fuck should we do with them?"
