Me neither, Hazel. I didn't even come to this forum for a couple of days, thinking I'd have SOMETHING to read when I did (I usually check in several times a day) but there is still nothing. I would say this is a dead forum. I wonder how long Spike will keep it if it is inactive?

I was wondering the same thing.

But its also pretty slow at the auction posting board I hang out at also, so maybe it's just the season....

Green Chilli Variety in Cans?
Q
Comments (1)
Clean chile seeds are ok to send to Oz. They have to be CLEAN-no treated seeds or pod parts. HAVE to be labled by name and variety. Example-C.Chinense , Red Habanero or whatever. I sent over 1000 varieties to oz in 1 package. Only a couple were kept by customs. 1 was kept because of the seeds having a fungucide powder on them and 1 was only labled by it's common name(I didn't know what it was - chinense or ?) a couple were kept because they were dried,broken up pods or had too much dried pod in the packs. I think you are looking for Anaheim chiles. Specifically Ortega chile. A hybrid made by ortega to can... Ortega ANAHEIM TMR 23 used in the green stage. Send me an E Mail. Here is a link that might be useful: Don't buy from here!

Old El Paso Canned Green Chillis
Q
Comments (8)
I'm sure they are the anaheim chilies. Its a long green chile. google images and you'll see them. Growing up in El Paso we always used these for chilies rellenos... not poblano peppers and always fresh, never canned. Even the restaurants we went to used the anaheim instead of the poblano. The first time I had a relleno outside of ElPaso it was a poblano and I thought it was a bell pepper! its just so wrong to use anything but the anaheim for a relleno. Infact I need to go char one up now so I can peel it for tonight's dinner. Recipe calls for jalapeÃÂ±o but I'm going to use the anaheim instead.

Leveling uneven concrete floor as final surface
Q
Comments (2)
Once someone can help me identify a product, I have a few application questions: 1. Since I have several large dips in the flooring, should I do an initial layer to bring those up higher (basically just spot-filling) before doing a second final coat, so that the final coat doesn't have a widely varying depth? 2. Is there any way, either by putting something down in advance or grinding it out later, to put a series of grooves in the surface to help direct water to the sump well, similar to what you might see in a ? And finally, while I have no doubt that whatever basement waterproofing advice you have is excellent advice, please understand that's not what I'm asking here -- I am addressing those questions elsewhere, and we're doing all we can to redirect water away from the house. There's just not a lot of options when a lot of the water is coming UP, not over or down. Thanks!

summit gas range wall clearance
Q
Comments (2)
Thanks for the reply. so if for example the installation instructions specify 5" clearance to side walls..then that only applies if the wall is combustible? Some instructions say combustible others just say side walls. And if you call the manufacturer and ask they just say any wall. The wall's are plaster lathe and are to be ceramic tile btw. The most common clearance I found is 6" which rules out a lot of options in my case. It seems to get larger with higher output burners. My wood cabinets are ca.50's and built in (nailed everywhere): difficult to modify. the 15" above the counter is to the left and 3/8" in from the edge of the counter, so I am treating it as if its a side wall. It's a tight fit for a 30". Rules out any that are over 2" clearance, unless I can consider the right side wall 0".

Been thinking the same thing girls. Would really hate to see it go though. I used to love coming here 10x a day! Ha! We were really active there for a while though, and to keep up you had to visit often. I was assuming that everyone just had spring fever. Hopefully it'll pick back up soon.

I've been busy planting my garden but just this past weekend I had a chance to get back to making soap.
I don't sell them, have more than I need right now and have given everyone I know soap, but Dd and I decided to make some this past weekend anyway!

I finally made some loofah soap. Scented it with pink grapefruit and it makes my mouth water just smelling it! Hope to get some shaving soap made today before Father's Day has come and gone. I found the perfect mugs, and wouldn't you know it, I haven't been able to find them (along with 3boxes of rose petals, a mold, and some baskets) for 2 months. Well, I finally found them while looking for something else. Bet none of you every do this, right? LOL

Glad to hear that theres still some people around here still doing soap.
I just filled a wholesale order, & have another one to do this weekend, & I have to make some soap for the one shop I'm in.

Haven't really been in a bath & body mood.......still mucking stuff out here.
you can actually see more of the craft room than you've been able to in about 2 yrs. But theres still about Â½ the room to do.

Well, off to make some chocoalte covered potato chips......

I am just using coffee mugs. I found some at Goodwill for .25 each. They are stoneware, and short like the shaving mugs I've seen. I'll try to post a pic when I get the sets together.

yup chocolate covered potato chips. DH loves them. I used to make them for christmas every year for a while, but have been too busy. I have a friend who's a doctor, & today is one of his nurses last day, so I'm taking over brownie bites (brownie batter in mini muffin cups, plop a mini reeses PB cup in before baking), chocolate covered potato chips & PB fudge. Ed (the nurse) loves my PB fudge, & brownie bites, & has never had chocolate covered potato chips so I figured I'd make some for him-he likes chocolate covered pretzles. usually if you like them, you like the chips..........

Hazel, those Brownie Bites sound wonderful! I know my children would love them, and I think I am going to make some for them! I don't like chocolate covered pretzels so I probably wouldn't like the chocolate covered potato chips.

P O T A T O E ???? LOL

Brain in left field I guess. Everyone get a good laugh out of that?

I love chocolate covered pretzels. Something about that salty sweet taste. Seems like they'd be hard to make. Must have to use the thick cut wavy chips? Like ruffles?

Brownies sound good too. Might have to try those.

Stoneware mugs are a good idea as shaving cups! My SO loves to shave the old fashioned way. Forget the foamy cream or electric razor.

Yes, ruffles are what I use. Some of the "off" brands are too salty or not salty enough. And they seem to be just the right thickness also.
I like to use the Ghiradeli (sp?) brand of chocoalte to dip with, but was out so I just used plain old dipping chocolate.
They were a big hit...didn't last long, neither did the brownie bites or the peanut butter fudge.........
