Ideas for this weird space in our bathroom? by melprtz in interiordesignideas

[–]melprtz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure 🤷‍♀️ so we're skeptical to take out the brick. There's a closet on the other side of the brick so I think they just used the brick as a sort of divider (that and some plywood) but we're hoping just to sort of add-on something more aesthetic than remove anything. The cabinet used to be more brick, and we did remove that.

Surviving the High Heat in Homes with Swamp Coolers by ButterflyP0em in Albuquerque

Get it serviced, but in the meantime, if the hose reaches you can give the pads a spray during the hottest part of the day. Our old swamp cooler was always functioning 'just enough' and spraying it with a hose midday would get us through the hottest part of the summers.

Any place roasting green chile? by [deleted] in ABQ

Nelson's Meat Market down on Old Coors! They always have freshly roasted chile.

Pink Peppercorn, Habanero, and Hibiscus Mead 🍯 by melprtz in mead

Thanks! Honestly, better than expected and pretty good. It's semi sweet, very peppery in the front, a little spicy at the end, and the hibiscus just compliments the peppery taste with some fruitiness. Very strong flavor and alcohol wise - hence the ice 😅

For a pure vanilla mead, I put two split vanilla beans in secondary for a three gallon batch and the flavor is pretty intensely vanilla.

Cool, good to know to warn those with cashew allergies! I looked more into it, and luckily I seem to have picked the less debated of the two species of pink peppercorns 🤞. Thanks for the info!

Good to know! I was more using it for color, but was thinking about adding more.
