I’ve got another mish mash video for you where I do a bunch of different things here on my little off grid half acre in Central Portugal. The building work is on hold while I catch up on some other things and.I hope you enjoy following along on this week’s tasks.
It’s been two weeks since I started my fermented hot sauce, so I’ll check on that to see if it all went to plan. Then I’ll get some more lime putty on the go by slaking 25kg of quicklime so it’s nice and sticky for when I plan to use it in a few months. Then I’ll assemble and ride the e-bike I was given by the folks et Eleglide (thanks guys!) Lastly, I need to prepare a few small things to be ready for the glorious, glorious rains that are due this week… I’m very excited for the rain!
I hope you like this little selection of tasks for the week! Thanks, as always, for watching and please do like, share, and comment if you’ve enjoyed the video. See you next time!

Outstanding bravery with the hot sauce test. A culinary success! Glad to see it turned out so well. 👍🏻
Loved it!
hi, could you make hot lime mortar without slaking first? that should be fine for pointing i guess? also will this be your first winter in you new holding?
Brave girl. Glad you love the hot stuff. Nice bike congratulations. Rain in very good, but not in the house😫. Have a happy day.👍
It is amazing how our weather is just like yours, we are having our first rain also. It hasn’t rained since March and the spring and summer have been brutal. You really do have to give the place a real good look, and still you miss stuff. I was looking at Chile garlic recipes since we can’t get any, I guess there’s a pepper shortage but I’ve got plenty!! I am wearing long pants and a sweatshirt, amazing!!
This is the strangest fermenting recipe I’ve ever heard but happy to hear you are enjoying it. I do believe you may have killed the good bacteria by adding the vinegar – from what I have read. Still ok but will have lost the probiotic goodness.
You are a crazy woman… fermentation scares me.😂😂
Great video! Here I was thinking only teenage boys burped aggressively. 😂
You have survived the trials and tribulations of fire breathing fermentation! 🎉 i have a question about the ebike. Can you really not use it in rain? That would make it difficult to use in large parts of the world.
I've never thought of making fermented hot sauce before. It looked soooo yummy. Maybe I need to grow peppers too!
Love your trumpet plant beautifl
Great vlog lots you have done. Glad rain had come to replenish thirsty plants. Do you harvest rain for plants?
So relaxing to hear and see the rain 🌧💧💦 ☔️ But it will be a little bit complicated to use that bike in an area where it's raining a lot when it's not supposed to get wet 🤔
You are one tough chick…its amazing what humans can find appetizing and delicious!!!
Yes on the Lime Geek vlog – when you get a chance!!!
Vinegar would be a preserving agent also. I'm not into hot stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but the pineapple sounds great. I didnt see smoke coming out of your ears but thought i heard some volcanic rumble (it may have been the wind but i like rumble better 🤣) yay, i love Frankie off grid too they are my fave after your channel 😊 you might consider growing some hay/straw for next season's cobbing?
Nice one lass, great watch. Respect from Scotland
As much as I was looking forward to the ‘exploding pineapples’🍍 I’m so glad that the sauce survived and that it tastes awesome. Still a good name for the sauce though 😂😂
Stopping the vlog to advise about Oleanders, in pot near corner of house, and cats, who mistake the sap for milk/cream. It's sap very noxious, please be careful. Now back to fermented peppers.
In Armenia as a weight over the pickles (and we have thousands of varieties of pickles and fermenting food is in the base of our cuisine), we simply use flat stones. The bigger the quantity, the bigger the stone is. My grandmother used to use one and the same stones for decades…
So find a nice looking stone, give it a nice wash et voilà. 😉
"So I read the manual. More or less." 😂
Great episode. Your hot sauce made my mouth water.
I just started a garlic ferment. It burped very aggressively this morning.
HELLO KIRSTY…AH! THE RAIN…WE HAVE HAD SOME HERE…A LITTLE IN VANCOUVER OVER THE LAST WEEK…TEMPS ARE NORMALIZING FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO FAR…I WILL JOIN DEBORAH IN A 'PRAISE THE LORD' EXCLAMATORY…YOU SURE NEEDED IT THERE & SO DID WE HERE!…YOU ARE FAR BRAVER THAN I WHEN IT COMES TO TRYING YOUR JARRED/CANNED SPECIALTIES…AND I LOVE TO SEE MIKEY MAKE AN APPEARANCE, STEALING THE SHOW, OF COURSE…WHAT A CUTE LITTLE MONKEY HE IS, (I MEAN CAT)…ALL THE BEST…🙏🏻;)
It is a considerate that is why the vinegar
So glad you've got rain after all that heat and fires. That looked like a proper cauldron with the lime, haha!
Love the success!!! 🙌 🥇 🏆
I enjoy your videos.
I never thought I'd see such a strong rain and heavy skies on a video from Portugal–landscapes always look soooo dry. Is this the storm that started out as a hurricane and downgraded to a tropical storm? That event did wind damage in some places too–hope your tarps held! Great video all around!
Rain! Praise the lord! Some interesting projects underway. Great vid!
Nice !
And you stay funny…as usual.
Awesome video as usual. Glad we had some blendy blendy in it. 🇵🇹 🇨🇦
Thanks for the video. Love your barn and the rain!! super!
Cuidado if you have homorodias ,kep para faser spices etc etc. In food. Bjs 🇨🇦
Had total faith in your ferment, that it would be good tasting, but I thought it might be 2 hot. Great you can handle it! I make my own fermented Kimchi. Made a rice recipe introduced to me from channel "Portuguese Quinta Garden Culinária", episode titled "CRISPY PORK STIR-FRY". The rice dish they made mixed with my Kimchi is mind blowing, amazing tasting!!…I bet a little of your ferment added to it as well, could take it to the next level!!
