I do have a garden and it seems I can  manage to grow the plants and keep the 
weeds at bay.  But come harvest time I'm overwhelmed and can't cope.  It's 
been so dry lately I spend a lot of time watering (not like the old days when 
it rained pretty reliably at least once a week.
   
  But I do like the flavoured oils so I will try that.  Hadn't tried it 
before because I understood one hadd to be very careful with flavoured oils 
or you could wind up with toxins of some sort.  I have done tarragon 
flavoured  vinegar......
   
  So much to so and so little time.  I'm back in the 9-5 office world (after 
a fairly lenghty absence so I cannot do "ll of the above"  any more.  Plus I 
need my beauty rest :>)

Hmmm, from about 2 AM to 8 AM....generally...
You can do these things easily....even if you don't have a garden. Buy
produce in bulk when it is in season and can it or freeze it for later.
Hot pepper oil is about the easiest thing in the world to make. I just
heat up a jar of olive oil in a saucepan, toss in about a cup of crushed
dried peppers or more...you can even add more dried peppers later if the
oil doesn't look red/hot enough, and stir for a while, keeping the oil
warm. Then I put the whole shebang in a jar for a week or so, and shake
the jar a couple of times a day. Then, I reheat the oil again, strain
out the pepper flakes and pour the oil through a coffee filter and
funnel back into the bottle. Voila! If you add up all of the time, it
probably takes less than 30-40 minutes, excluding growing and drying the
peppers and buying oil, of course. :)

This is news to me, you just put your old/other hard drive in this 
case then plug it into the usb port? Then it's just another drive to 
the computer?
