For really cold days. And then I did not say Trinidad scorpion or Naga morich. I make tomato salsa dip with one (1) Habanero, and it is quite digestive. But the day after on the toilet can be a bit funny.Habanero chocolate…!!!
I have never tried that…
If you can’t find any supplier, you can probably melt dark chocolate on a waterbath and add a flake or two of habanero, and add more if you like. And preferably fresh Habanero. Then let cool in icy weather.Habanero Chocolate is now on my shopping list for tomorrow!
in the window is fun, IF you get them growing big without fleas/lice. First time I tried had to throw the ’eaten’ plants away. The second time they started outside and got strong, and are now growing in the window.

Last night was a dangerous nightmare with a low of 12°F and no power! There was no way to get heat, because we were to be out early for an appointment this morning which meant we could not have a wood fire using our fireplace and leave it unattended .
The situation eventually worked out okay but it was borderline life-threatening until the power came on at 9am… my bride can not tolerate cold at all with her medical condition.
I didn’t enjoy the experience myself, not one bit, but it would have been easier if I could have made a cup of coffee or Moka. How hard can that be?
Is there a simple way to be prepared for this power outage thing and still be able to make coffee?

A camping stove could solve the coffee problem…
Sounds terrifying, Dave.

Hmmm… a Moka pot needs only a small heat source but to do it indoors is the important thing. Is there such a thing as a “battery power bank”, for lack of a better term, that could power a small coffee maker or hot plate? I seem to remember decades ago there was a coffee maker that would plug into a Volkswagen Beetle! LOL..
This Dash-Mounted Coffee Maker Is Likely the Rarest Volkswagen Accessory Ever
Very few are known to exist, but that doesn't mean they make good coffee.

Glad you got you power back Dave! On and off here today in North Carolina. Worried about my brother in law. Still without tonight in southern Va. But he has a kerosene heater and is very careful with it.
Re: for coffee... Ditto on the camp stove. Just boil water, perfect for pour over or for that Moka pot

The older I get the more I see things that should be important in daily life. For instance, an acoustic guitar or other non-electronic musical instrument. Other things that fit my own personal interests are:
•Books.
•Bamboo Fly rods and fishing
•Mechanical watches and other timepieces.
•Painting/sketching
•Writing
.Manual typewriters
•Fountain pens
And much more including certain sports.
One common attribute that stands out is that there are no batteries or electronics required. Interesting isn’t it?
Coffee is amazing... But it certainly is a complex subject and the passion behind it is impressive! And it can be enjoyed without , yes, without batteries! LOL
