Alright. Got the Saturday chill buzz going, listening to Goose 9/17/2020 entire show, and making some DLJ.


Starting out, I’ll tell how I get to this point. When my cayenne’s are ready to pick I go and pick them. I’ll put the whole chile in the Cuisenart and roughly chop. I’ll put enough kosher salt in the bottom of a wide mouth Mason jar to cover. I’ll then add in the mash, a little at a time and sprinkle it with salt. Pack that down nice and firm. I layer like that all of the way until the jar is full. So I could have older mash, more mature mash on the bottom and younger, fruitier on top. I let that ferment for at least 6 months in the fridge down in my cave.

This jar is about a pound and a half of mash. I weigh it out to my specs and put it in my large pot and heat it until it simmers.

After its simmered for a few minutes and my wife and daughter are pissed at me because of the fumes, I piss them off even more by adding vinegar. I let that come to a boil.

So I’m blending the sauce now. I do it on the screened in deck to keep the noise down inside. 30 minutes on high. It’s 10 degrees outside so it’s helping chill it down a bit.

8637C3B4-46BE-41DE-A64B-EBC636F162CC.jpegI’ll let it chill out in Mason jars when it’s done. I’ll be interested to see how much I have. Then I’ll be able to see how many bottles I can get. I’ll probably fill most of the requested bottles 1/2 way so I can get most of you taken care of.

My packaging envelopes will get here tomorrow. The bottles will be filled by Wednesday and I should be able to get them out Thursday.

For those who are familiar, sending out 23 packages....is it better to use USPS, FedEx, or UPS? A lotta work packaging all this shit.

Here are the bottles going out:

I thought we learned our lesson about trusting usps. This is way more important... and I have no idea.

I hate the USPS but they got 3 bottles to Texas for me last week. I just know the people in line at my PO will be pissed if I get ahead of them with 23 packages to weight and label. Fuck em.

Print the labels off ahead of time online, saves money and time. Guess on the weight and dimensions......trust me, I ship Legos and guessing in this environment won't matter.

I have a digital scale. How do I print labels? I guess Google is my friend on that

Create a user account uSPS (just name and address), it should allow you to select mailing options, then the location and package info and it will give you an estimate/total. Then it should ask if you'd like to ship the package and input your payment info and print the slip.

I just finished the rough in electric over the holidays. I'm finishing up drywalling a rental house, then going to start drywall in the basement. Not looking forward to it AT ALL.

Initials on the Venmo are JN and MV.......please let me know if this is you via DM so my daughter can account for each donation. She's on my ass and she's 15......that's my girl!!!

I see some dark specs in that chili. Similar to batch below. I smoke all veggies for a couple hours before adding to the chili. Takes an amazing chili recipe to another level. 97966A0D-34DC-4E23-8C64-2E05250654CD.jpeg
