Lockdown/Covid Check In
-
WFH these last few weeks has got me having some toast in the morning with my second coffee. For decades I skipped breakfast as a matter of routine. So far I've managed to restrict myself to just two slices with butter and marmalade (Fortnum & Mason if that matters) a day.

@antipodean Wife and I visited an orchard and picked our own apples for $2 a kilo. We had so many she made apple butter. Holy shit that tastes good on toast. I'm finding I can put it on just about anything

Did a PYO chillies run before lockdown and have now made harissa, dried chipotles, smoked paprika and have a frozen supply of โfreshโ for curries etc.
I have a massive Rocoto and two smaller Habanero's along with some Hungarian yellows, birds eye and standard red long chillies all fruiting well and some are on second pick.
If anyone wants some sent to them, PM me and I will send you a selection.

Having a virtual cocktail party at 6 (local) tonight, if you want to join us. Scrabbling around the booze shelf (we are not big spirit drinkers) we're going to have Foghorns (Gin, fresh lime and ginger ale), espresso martinis, and some other mixes (georgia gin maybe)
-
I only have 2 small plants, used them to make a tomato and chilli chutney a few weeks back, very nice, but next time if I have more chillies I'll up the chilli/tomato ratio
-
god i love chilli!
-
So digressing a moment from chillis - today was my first day actually working from home as I didn't go into the office as I'm feeling mildly unwell. (Not CV symptoms)
I must say its very civilised. Looking out into the garden, back door open, stop and make coffee (expensive Italian expresso machine finally paying its way). Take a break to put a wash on and again an hour later to hang it on line. Not having to bother sanitising every time I move.
I could definitely get used to this...
