Planning A New Vegetable Garden
Dan Turner asked:
Looking to start a garden? Gardening season is upon us again. This is my favorite time of the year! Whether you are planting on a existing garden plot, or are moving your garden to another area, or just starting from scratch, there a few things you will need to consider in order to get your new vegetable garden going. Plan that new garden early!
Do you know what if any amendments your soil may need? Now would be a good time for a soil test, so you can add any nutrients well before planting season.
Questions like, what size should my garden be? If you want corn in your garden, then you will need a larger space, verses planting onions, which requires little space at all. Just remember that if you are new to gardening, you may want to start with a smaller garden until you gain some experience. The larger the garden, the more work involved. And then that takes you to where would be a good location, and is that location sunny or shaded?
Once these questions are answered, then the land will need to be prepared, and next off to purchase your seeds or plants!
The key to having a great garden in pre-planning. Be sure to ask yourself questions, or visit your local gardening center before starting on a new vegetable garden, and you will be on your way to great tasting, fresh vegetables from your garden to your table.

Cooking at Home With Restaurant Quality
Joe J Johnson asked:
When I get hungry some time after the dinner rush, I’ll usually go into the kitchen and make something new with the Sous Chef, often involving a kick. He taught me some tricks to work with peppers that I wont soon forget. What he and I made the other night was an outstanding Habanero Glazed Chicken. The key with any hot pepper, as anyone who works with them knows, is to remove the seeds, and be careful. The seeds contain high levels of capsaicin, the chemical that our body interprets as spicy, and while it sounds like they would be good to keep in for a “kick”, its really just painful and covers the actual flavors of the dish. To further extract the flavors of the peppers, we first marinaded them in tequila, with diced garlic. The alcohol in the tequila helps to extract some of the flavors from the peppers. When we got to making the sauce, we used an oil as the base, because like alcohol, oils can help extract the flavors from peppers. At this point, you have a good strong base, and can dress it up as you desire. We finished it off by sauteéing the peppers, tequila, garlic, and oil with crushed red chillies, white pepper, and shallots, then mixed that with a sweet fruity sauce that the Sous Chef had made earlier, and then coated the chicken tenders with it. Delicious!
The possibilities are endless once you learn a few little tricks. Using that pepper base, you can make plenty of different styles of dishes with a nice kick. Adding cilantro, lime, some tropical fruit and glazing salmon steaks with it could make you a darn good Mediterranean dish. Skipping the fruit and adding the pepper base to a marinara type sauce with ground sausage, you could make a new pseudo-Italian pasta dish. The point I’m making however is once you’ve got a good start cooking, you dont need to follow recipes strictly. Once you figure out tips to get certain flavors, you can mix your tricks up, and turn cooking at home into an artform.

Red Hots – Set Your Perfect Late Autumn Wedding Tables on Fire With Chili Peppers
Ann Keeler Evans asked:
For an inexpensive table decoration for your wedding reception, why not mound bowls with peppers and sit them in the middle of the table? You can do individual peppers for the tables and then put a big old mixture of peppers on the head table because all of those beloved friends and family are part of your life.
Consider making a condiment from all the chilies to put on the tables (with a warning about the heat!) You might be able to have a couple different temperatures of the condiment so even the less adventuresome can enjoy!
If you’ve made the condiment, you might consider canning small jars as favors for your guests. Or you can always mix up some seeds and give your friends a m
