John Hagan.... aji dulce?

I am glad to hear you have culantro. Do you carry aji dulce? Sorry to say that i do not know the english translation for it. anyone? They look like habanero peppers, but are NOT. They are sweet, with a hint of heat in the background, nothing extreme. i am not good at grabbing pictures to post, but here is some info from wiki with some pictures.

If you have these and culantro...wooohooo. i will be there in the spring and buy a mess of them to make some huge batches of sofrito.

Hey Ive got some of those seeds. I have a Puertorican neighbor and I was going to grow some for her. I never got to around it to it last year, but Ill get in it for this year. Ill make a note to PM you when their ready. Any other plants you cant find...Im up for a challenge.

great, i really appreciate it. whew, when i first read that you had seeds i thought you were going to suggest i grow them myself..... everything dies, which sucks because i really like plants.

just let me know when, i will ask my mom if there is anything she is interested in.

John - PM me too on this as the whole reason I want the culantro is for sofrito too! LOL! Hey Becky, maybe we can get together for a sofrito making day and then cook up some Arroz con Gandules with some tostones! I have also started making my own Adobo seasoning - way better than store bought!

OK...I got you on the list. Im thinking maybe we could barter for some of your adobo or something.

Ohhhhh! I love bartering!!! I'm in!
