Have you been running around like crazy lately? I was before I got knocked on my butt with a cold. It just so happened I was a guest on 'Offering Something' the night before I got sick.
I brought the energy to a super fun interview where I got to share my hot sauce journey. If you need to slow down for a bit and/or looking for some hot sauce inspiration,view it on YouTube here!
We’re kicking the October Craft Hot Sauce newsletter off with some sounds, images, and the hum of harvest season!
Check out what has been a pretty accurate representation of a day in the life for me and the craic crew this harvest season.
It's been a physical and mental grind of late, but we're learning every hour, making quality hot sauce, and feeling fortunate to be around peppers, farms and people excited for flavor and hot sauce!
I encountered a tricky little situation during a hot sauce cook one January Sunday morning in our commercial kitchen in Lowell, which gave me some perspective on failure and growth. My co-cook Ben and I were making a 5 gallon batch of 40 Shades of Green Chilli, a sauce I’ve made 20 times before.
I'm about to be really busy this month prepping peppers after the harvest, going to some markets, and slanging Craic Sauce at Hot Sauce Alley at Chilifest, put on by my friends Kitchen Garden Farms in Western Mass.
Before the craziness ensued, I went out west with my brother and cousin to visit our cousin in Seattle, and then we all went down to the PDX Hot Sauce Expo together.
