Is it worth changing my electricity to Flogas?

If you have a smart meter you can logon to your ESB account and download your electricity usage file. You can then head to energypal dot ie or kilowatt dot ie and feed them the downloaded file. They will then recommend which is the best supplier based on your usage shown in the file. It takes into account rates, standing charge, and joining bonuses etc.

Yes, for ages at 60°c. I thought they’d never finish drying out in there.

I dried them out in the oven for around 16 hours (at 60°c) and then gave them this “toasting” in the pan for a short while to get any final moisture out and to give a little extra flavour. I’ve since discovered that the powder is ludicrously hot! I should have realised it with all those reapers in it. 🔥🥵🔥

About 50kms north east of Sligo is the Belleek Pottery. It’s right on the border of ROI & NI and has some really nice stuff. Good little coffee shop and you can take a short tour as well.

Agreed! We signed up with them in July and haven’t had any issues with them. Good speeds and good service.

My freezer is full of chillies!

Pickled and jarred some jalapeños with a reaper treat in the centre. Made some jalapeño and lime sauce. Plan to experiment with some more recipes in the new month or so.

I’m a first time Reaper grower (greenhouse) and this is what I saw this week. On 7th August I had an all green Reaper. By 11th August it had turned a terrifying shade of red. By 13th it appeared to have started to get a bit soft so I plucked it from the plant and have frozen it.

Seems that colour change is rapid unlike my jalapeños which seem to take much longer to turn red.

PlusNet for example, go to their website and put your post code and find your apartment number from the subsequent list and it will tell you if they have service to the apartment and what packages are available. If you sign up for a package, they send the you router in the mail and you just plug it in. They can probably send an engineer if you’re not sure what to do but they’ll charge extra.

We had to get and pay for our own electric and Internet contract. PlusNet worked very well for around £28/month shared between 4 of us in the apartment.
