This weekend's project is to make hot sauce or a spicy barbeque sauce starting from fresh hot peppers, which I plan to purchase at a farmers market.  I've never made hot sauce before.  I haven't even looked in any cookbooks on the topic.

This afternoon,  I even completed the scary face-to-face task of walking into a local veterinary clinic and asking if they have room for me as a ( Read more... )

Do you know anyone possibly looking for a place to live in or near North Adams?  
 This house looks nice, but I'd need a room-mate for it to be comfortably affordable. (I also don't like the "no cats" rule, but this place is just an example.)
