Wow, Beth. Do you have any tips for speeding up prepping those peppers?
Just got back home with my second 30# case. Any place in Taos that sells chiles by the case also has roasters. You wheel the case out side the store, wait in line, the roaster takes your case(s) and a few minutes later you are off the the whole case roasted for you. When home, you put on gloves!!! and bag them up for the freezer. I am assuming this service is not available for you, so no, I don't have any tips. I am considering putting up 5 cases this year. It is sinfully easy with the roasting service.
Beth, do you remove the seeds and veins before you bag them for the freezer, or just freeze them roasted whole?
I'm ordering glasses online. I'm at the hair pulling stage. There are too many frames that I like. I am trying to keep it to three pairs of glasses. The good part is that they have a thingee that lets you see what the glasses will look like on. It works quite well.
How did you get just the frames online? Do you bring the empty frames to the optician and have them make lenses to fit the frames?I got only my frames on line for the grand sum of $9.00. And my health plan reimbursed me for even that. They also paid for my eye exam and lenses. I paid $60.00 for the transitional treatment to my infinity lens. So all it cost me in the end for the two pair was $60.00. Less than a pair of decent frames would have cost me. If I had chosen to take the frames my health plan offers I would have been laughed into hiding. They are so hideous.
Pirate will be ordering his next pair of glasses on line also.

Now that I am officially a senior citizen, RAMQ (the provincial health insurance board, sort of medicare for everyone) pays for my eye exam. I ordered three pairs of glasses for a total of U$137.44, including shipping. Stirling's health insurance we refund me 80% of that minus the $9.95 shipping.
Moving into the new house!
Just came in to cool off a bit. Whew! Another triple digit day, with oppressive humidity to enhance the experience.
So hot that all our plants need to be watered twice a day. I try to do it in the morning before it gets blast furnace hot and then early evening when the heat moderates a bit. It was 82F when we went to bed at 11 last night.
I don't handle the heat as well since I got sick, which makes me sad. I love being outside "playing" with all the flowers and vegetable plants.
Congratulations! Pictures please. And then some more pictures. We love pictures.
