Plans for today (2025)

My problem is, the neighbor gives me loads of them, and MrsT doesn’t like them. I like them fine, but it’s hard to figure out what to do with bags and bags of them. I can pickle only so many. I have enough of the things to last me 3-4 years.

Sounds like my cayennes this year. I've delegated half of the vegetable crisper drawer to Cayenne chili's, that's like a grocery sack worth, and am confident I'll have them until harvest next year. I eat a couple a day and the only thing they do in the fridge is dry out. No chili's no problem.

I freeze my chillies whole. I then just pull them out as needed and chop after 10 minutes or so. Works really well.

I've mostly given up freezing them as there are plenty frozen ones as well.
I use what's there, dry some and make powder*, and make sambal and other chili pastes

*Don't open your coffee grinder straight after grinding

A great many houseworking jobs to do today and a bit of admin (hopefully only a bit) punctuated by checking my emails for update on the new mixers delivery date

That’s what I did, it was the fastest thing to do.

This is what I do as well - freeze them in a ziplock labelled with the year. Husband usually pulls them out and uses them for chili.

My chili's are parked in the crisper drawer. I reserve the freezer for meat.

Miserable morning, headed to the gym

Next time you go to the gym get an empty chocolate syrup bottle and fill it with your fav sports drink... The looks will make you feel better.

It's Pippi's monthly grooming. All of it, head, tail, ears, face, legs, feet, etc. right now she can't see where she's going hardly.

2nd (and final) day of the festival today, so it'll be another crazy time; we've got over 70 people booked for tonight.
Yesterday's guests were all extremely happy ( I went out and talked to them all) so we'll just have to hope for a repeat performance today.

It’s grey and rainy here today. I’m working from home, but around lunchtime we’re going to head out to get the newest covid boosters.

I’ll wait a week or two, then get the flu shot. I need to space them out since my arm sometimes gets so sore I can’t sleep on that side.

Update: they told me I could get both covid and flu shots in the same arm, so I went ahead and got both. Now my arm hurts!
