It was 30 below, and I had been saving the Ritual of Fire for a cold winter day where the heat could help heat the kitchen.
I try to do this once a year, but I missed last year, so there was a lot of residue to burn off, and there was a lot of smoke. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL4rWC9WiU4
I was looking to replace an electric pressure washer that has somehow disappeared when left unattended. I do have a gas-powered one, but living in close proximity to neighbors, less noise is good.
And there are dogs.

Back in mid-March, I had a friend visiting. We hadn't seen each other in a while and our lives had been riding the stress pony pretty hard for a while, so I decided to take us out for a sort of fantasy weekend away.
We didn't know at the time that everything was going to into shutdown mode, so all of this video got put aside while we were dealing with life.
This video does not do the place justice. It's gorgeous, the food is absolutely amazing, and once things settle out and we're not quarantined, I definitely plan on going back.
Highly recommended.

I was away for a week, and came home to a whole lot of color. It's time to start the harvest.
The pots in front are far more ready to go, while the back 40 has some time to go yet, even though there are some that need harvesting.
I have a LOT of peppers coming in, and there's a lot of variety. It's got me thinking about hot sauce strategy and how I want to move forward.

Taking a break from the kitchen videos. This is more of a general update on what else is going on with the Mom-house, having a look around, and some general stuff.

Checking in on the Killing Frost batch. Fermentation has slowed but is still active. Flavor is better. Another month or so and if all goes well, I should be bottling.

Picked up an old Hoveround scooter from a neighbor that had purchased a new one. Decided to see if I could bring it back to life.
