When an Ice Fog comes right up to the front door, and looking out the windows reveals nothing but grey, it's time to make, Blackbeans and Rice to heat up my insides.

I love Chile Peppers, and their colours. I love to string them together in long ristras, and hang them on my kitchen walls to be used as needed.
Chile Peppers come in so many sizes, shapes, colours, textures, flavors, and degrees of peppery temperature.
As a child I learned to love them for their beauty, anticipate their variety of flavors, and respect my parents warnings of, "Some are to hot to handle and don't rub your eyes". Even thought I didn't listen, I learned. Here is a great site where I learned even more.
Where I live is far from the optimal climate for growing peppers, but they grow well in containers and many of the ornamental varieties are my favorites anyway. It's funny that as I write this, I hesitate to rub my eyes, some things we never forget. Hasta la vista!
