Good Thursday Afternoon Salsa Fans and Happy Mother’s Day Mom! To all the other Mothers out there; a very Happy Mother’s Day!
PLEASE Pre-Order your Salsa Quarts via email. (I have you Mark!) GLF will be available Saturday and Sunday at Gilbert’s Corner this weekend from 09:30 each morning. “They” changed the market hours on me, so I will try to be available from 9:30 moving forward. NO AVAILABILTY NEXT WEEKEND. Get it NOW, please. Unless I get lucky and find Mason Jars, the bulk of my Pickles may become unavailable. I am out again!

Salsa will be in good supply, at least until the rain starts midday Sunday. All pickles should be back in good inventory. I announce the triumphant return of Sweet-Heat Chunks and Habi-Chow. In additions to the whole, Half-Sours I offer for 2 bucks, I also have a few pint and quart jars of Half-Sours available this week, shown in foreground of photo. Also pictured is the large jar of Lit’l Hotties. These Little Gems are Whole Ghost Pepper Pickles for a buck a piece. I also have a good supply of Giardiniera, both spicy or not.

This weekend, I hope to see YOU at the Corner!

Good Thursday Morning Salsa Fans!
GLF is available Saturday and Sunday at Gilbert’s Corner this weekend from 10:00 each morning. PLEASE Pre-Order you Salsa Quarts via email. [email protected]

My inventory is still recovering from the Flower and Garden Festival. Pickles are beginning to rebound. The whole, Half-Sours pictured are 2 bucks each and are ready for you. Salsa is in good supply. For those of you who have my Salsa in your fridge longer than 2 weeks, 1) Shame on You! and 2) as I run out of various levels of my Salsa on Sunday, I will have discounted Salsa for you. Or, If you do not mind and want a Salsa discount, I am offering Salsa with an expiration date of 5-15 for $5.00. Also, for those of you who do not know the “Salt Trick”: a pinch of salt around the 10-14 day of your Salsa will reset your Salsa back towards the born-on date. Try it; you will see what I mean. This does not change the stated expiration date of my Fresh Salsa.

This weekend, I hope to see YOU at the Corner!

Good Thursday Morning Salsa Fans,
I appreciate everyone’s understanding my absence due to the Flower and Garden Festival last weekend. It went Great! Thanks for asking. Keith said I haven’t offered a discount lately. Keep reading to find out how to get it. Please email GLF you pre-order Quart Salsas. $20 cash each.

Garden Lodge Fresh will be available at Gilbert’s Corner both Saturday and Sunday this weekend from 10am to 4. Salsa, Candied Almonds, and Peanut Brittle, all with or without Ghost Pepper, will be in good supply. I have a new batch of Giardiniera (pictured - fresh prior to pickling) but otherwise Pickles will be in low supply. Come early or email me your Pickle request. I will check inventory and reserve your order. Also, please pre-order your Quart sized Salsa Jars. Cash is always requested.

We should have nice weather for this weekend. Some of you might have to do some homework for this, most will not. Please tell me who John Belushi said attacked Pearl Harbor in his motivational speech in Animal House. For your correct answer, you will receive one dollar off per salsa jar, candied almond, and/or peanut brittle, no limit. Scan my QR Code to give me a review and bring cash. Simple.

I will see YOU this weekend at the Corner!

Flower & Garden Festival | Leesburg, VA

Good Thursday Afternoon Salsa Fans!

The Elves and I have been VERY busy preparing Candied Almonds and Peanut Brittle for the Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival, April 17-18. Okay, there are NO Elves. Sadly, the Garden Lodge Fresh Empire is a one-man show and it is just impossible for me to make Gilbert’s Corner this weekend. Salsa will be made Fresh next week for this event. Free tickets to the Festival at Ida Lee in Leesburg can be obtained here: www.flowerandgarden.org Please help me pray for good weather.

I will miss you this weekend at Gilbert’s Corner but hope to see you at the Leesburg Festival April 17-18

Good Thursday Morning Capsaicin Fans!
Garden Lodge Fresh is Unavailable at Gilbert’s Corner this weekend. Enjoy your weekend with a healthy serving of Capsaicin!
Why does pain hurt? In short, we have pain receptors that process threats against our bodies. The pain receptors that register heat to our brain, usually activate north of 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Capsaicin, the active heat component of peppers, fools these pain receptors into reacting at a lower body temperatures. The heat levels found in capsaicin, registered on the Scoville Scale, can trigger these receptors in the high nineties. Therefore, at normal body temperatures, your intake of capsaicin causes the receptors to fire early and send a message to the brain. “Hey! What are you doing to me?” Peppers produce capsaicin to protect themselves from predators, those that wish to eat the fruit of the plant, thereby eliminating the possibility of reproduction. (Yes, a pepper is a fruit because the seed-bearing product is developed from the ovary of a flowering plant. To those who wish to argue, culinarily speaking, peppers are classified as vegetables.) We are the only species on the planet that have been “trained” to enjoy such bodily punishment. Maybe we eat peppers (capsaicin) for their health benefits. This article speaks directly about Cayenne Peppers, but you can lump/substitute any capsaicin producing pepper into this article. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/8-benefits-of-cayenne-pepper
Happy reading Salsa Fans, and I hope to be back to the Corner soon!
