    About 1/3rd of the way through making the chilli dust. Wore gloves as per Seagoons very sage advice and it went through them heh.

    For the next 2/3rds I will double glove, and wear an N95… and goggles.

    This morning was brutal.

        ooh nice.

        I’ve also read that putting bananas and apples in the bowl is a thing too but I’m not sure if that actually works.

          Only if you enclose the whole bowl in a paper or plastic bag. The apples/banana gives of ethylene gas which ripens the other stuff. Same as colesworth does in its warehouse when it wants to sell us ‘ripe’ fruit.

            TIL that’s unsurprisingly naughty.
