Once in awhile I call for diced dried Jalapeño Peppers in recipes on Trail Cooking. They are not always easy to find and often involve buying them online, where one has to buy a large bag of them (enough for oh, the next 3 years!) McCormick Gourmet Collection carries jars of diced dried Jalapeño Peppers, [...]

Wandering through Safeway this morning my eyes spotted this: The Chai Spice Blend is a mix of spices and lightly sweetened with sugar (not heavy though). Being that Safeway has most of their spices on sale this week I picked up a jar for less than $4 to try out. Fabulous added to tea, oatmeal, [...]

Hiking to nowhere was the goal it seemed today, and that was really was OK. It was sunny and actually getting warm as we left the trailhead. Trailhead joined Ford and I to do some miles on the old logging road/now a trail to Mt. Teneriffe, which sits just a bit farther down the road [...]
