Jethro, when I left the site and I got down to the Hereford road how come you were coming up it, away from your direction to home?

Jethro, when I left the site and I got down to the Hereford road how come you were coming up it, away from your direction to home?

As I slowly went whizzing past the turning....!!!
I decided to go the old Hereford road through Pantygelli,into Abergavenny and pop into the Bus Station.
Mainly to see if Claire,the Ex-Taffspeed mechanic who seems to be a regular was there to have a chat.

But as there was only 3 bikes,one being a large scooter I thought better of it.
I wasnt thinking...a bit cold,little moist,of course nobody would ride their Bike in that weather 

So I didnt stop and went home.

Bloody Good Weekend just the same.

Good to hear you all had a great weekend. I'd have loved to have seen some old faces and met some new (to me) ones. There seemed to be a fair bit of the dark stuff being downed mind, I thought you were mainly shandy drinkers 

[robG]

,little moist,So I didn't stop and went home.

Having a Godfrey moment were we ? Didn't stop for a tinkle when we should have ,ummmm?

Then we're forgeting turnings etc .

Dear oh Dear .

Remember the Peppered Vodka so kindly provided by Boyd.  He was kind enough to let me take it home after the gathering so, full of the spirit of experimentation, I took it to my 'local' in Llanddewi Brefi.  Jethro will remember the effect of my pickled Dorset Naga chili on Geoff there.  I proudly produced it at the bar and the landlady Yvonne pronounced "I just made some of that as well".  Needless to say the evening proceeded in an orgy of Chili Vodka tasting.

What are the odds on that ?

So next time I acquire some fresh Naga I will be producing some more.  The arms race is on.

Bloody good weekend mind.

But which had the most kick and/or flavour?

Boyd

So let me get this right . If I add chilli to vodka , I can drink it , right ?.

Reminds me of the time I added a load of apples and sugar to a very cheap and nasty bottle of schnaps provided by Jethro .
4 months later , we decanted the resulting liquid . Quite nice , however the real bargain was the left over fruit . Oh yes!
A couple of bowls of that , with custard of course and myself and the furry one were giggling like buffoons .{ there was a difference to normal , honest!}

I can recommend it .

Pissed on Pudding !


Jethro

[robG]

Bought some chilli's , game on !

Jethro, thinking of some fruity gin type of stuff . Any requests?

I only ask as we are the only two daft enough to try the end result .

[Richard]

Boyd, I have to be honest Yvonnes had a nice red tinge to it and the kick was rather fiercer - how long did you marinade yours for ?

Needless to say I shall be making some now with the intention of kicking some a**e at the Dragon.  She also used several of her homegrown chilis.

One of my more senior colleagues (DCI) tried some and thoroughly enjoyed it when he had stopped choking.

Richard

[Andy M]

Just used the last of our home grown chillies. Still there is always next year.

I must say, Boyd's was about the best i've had. Nice kick but nothing silly.

If you fancy a silly student game, try "person who drinks the last drop has to eat the chilli". It's amazing how dextorous (SP?) drunken hands can be pouring a tiny tiny drop, especially when you lost the previous game

Richard , Any particular vodka best for this ,or what ?

If you can get some cumquats and a container with a wide enough neck you can make a very nice curacao type liqueur. As per the chili vodka don't forget to vigorously prick the surface of the fruit first as the waxy skin resists penetration.

As regards to vodka I used Morrisons own brand as I'm sure the firey end result would be wasted on anything too expensive.

O.K. so stupid question.You need a bottle of cheapo vodka,some chillies(any particular ones?)Prick the outer skin and throw them in.Is it that simple?How long should you leave them in for?I did make some a few years ago but it tasted awful,is there any way of ensuring that it is at least drinkable?
