So it seems 6,194 ravelry projects can't be wrong. The Saartje's Bootees pattern just churns out awfully cute booties. I knit these Red Heart Ltd. Heart & Sole in Razzle Dazzle. I love finding "non-babyish" colors for baby knits. Personally I think there are too many pastels out there. These are for my new niece who should be arriving sometime today!
I would have liked to share photos of a green and thriving veggie garden this summer, alas it was not meant to be. We had the heat spike up early and long and it really stunted about everything. Wow do I have some ugly tomato plants. I'm finally getting a few from it and hoping the frost will hold off long enough to get one crop out of them. The chili peppers though, the chili peppers went crazy. They're something you can count on to take the Texas heat and with that in mind I had planted several varieties. This is my recent harvest where I left everything that could possible stay on the plant a bit longer there (this is probably 1/4 of what's out there). It's close to 2 lbs! And these aren't exactly heavy fruits.
I have Hungarian hot wax, Sweet banana pepper, Serrano, Cayenne, Bell peppers, and a mystery plant that re-sprouted from last year. There's also a few tomatoes in there (mostly cherry).
So any ideas on what to do with all these?
My go-to has been chili quesadillas (which are awesome with these) but one can only eat so much.
Hey, I was gonna say to dry some of them and pickle the others!
Those booties are super cute!!
You could try drying the cayenne peppers and using them in cooking in the winter. We usually slice peppers and can them in vinegar/sugar.
Pickled peppers are nice on pizza or sandwiches. Let us know what uses you find for them!
I say Pickle 'em! (Of course, we just went through a bunch of pickling and canning - and waiting to do more - so we might be a bit nuts about it.)
Love the booties!
I just picked up some yarn yesterday to make those too! Did you stray at all from the suggested spi? I'm wondering how flexible the pattern is and if I could get away with making several in different sizes, as little feet grow so fast, you know :)
We took all of our sweet and hot peppers and added some zuchinni, tomatillos and pork for an awesome almost totally homegrown Chili verde!
Lots of great recipes out there.
I love your patterns too, thanks!
