I was given a chili plant at the beginning of the summer. I now have a batch of dried chilis. Actually I picked the chilis rather early as green chilis and they partly ripened as they dried.
how did you dry them - my parents live in portugal and have lots of chilli and pepper plants and when they dried them they went rotten very quickly - what is your secret!
I slit them, took the seeds out (very important) and left them in the sun on my deck for a few days and they were crisp as....dried chilis. I should have added the photo of the dried ones. But I'd taken the original photos a few weeks ago.
We may be apart but when I look at the sky and remember that we are standing on the same earth, looking at the same moon, somehow you don't seem so far away after all.
Life
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )

Like a Godwit I migrate. I live in New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere's Summer and I live in Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the Northern Hemisphere's Summer (See Eagleton Notes). In both places I also live in Blogland which, for me, is as real a life as any other.
