I’ve decided to introduce the series I’m calling: What’s in a Name? My advisor said if with each picture I posted, I zoomed in and explained the ingredients, perhaps people would not be so apprehensive. When people can connect the ingredients to the ones they can find on their grocery store shelves, then they can bridge the gap.

We’ve been busy on and off, but pretty steady working on our brand, meeting people, and learning to be more efficient. The latter has proven to be the most challenging of all because mom and I like to feed people and whereas before, we could usually do this without much thought about numbers, now we have to be more attentive.

I begin with about 15 fresh scotch bonnets from one of the Mexican stores on Hamilton, although most grocery stores also carry them. They are seasonal so I make sure to stock up when I do find them. The red ones tend not to be as hot.
