I don't have a macro lens so this is the best I can do with a crop!

#71 Fire, Flame and heat - 113 pictures in 2013
These little fellows may be small but boy do they pack a punch on the heat!
My greenhouse chillies coarsely pulverised in a coffee grinder after a few hours in a cool oven to desiccate them.
Gorgeous aroma of this stuff. We use this in loads of things including soups and sauces.

or perhaps 'companion planting'.
The chilli plant has a friend, parsley, planted in another mosaic pot yesterday.
Out of shot, the pots are positioned in a bird bath.
A hot chilli called Apache, it just cried out for googly eyes and I found the pigeon feather on the lawn. He was lying in this bowl, but popped up to say hello :)
Chillicothe, Illinois was a great place to view the transcon. Being a crew change for brakemen and conductors, most trains stopped very briefly or at least slowed down.
Here, back in the fall of 1986 we see a quite new techno-toaster westbound. Santa Fe Company work cars to the left, a 1984 Oldsmobile 98 with gangsta whites to the right, there was always something to see at Chilli. They all just blow through here now.

A bowl of Texas style red chilli, made with diced sirloin, onions, several types of ground red chile, dark beer, garlic, cumin, and oregano. And of course, bacon crumbled on top. Served with crackers and a dark Mexican beer (Negra Modelo here).
You could be forgiven for supposing that my endless commentary on the cold wet growing season would have left this platter empty. It might have been worse. Some hardy and ambitious chillies did set some usable fruit. Others not so much.
Here there is a poblano. I wish there'd been more! The aji limon was prolific. But the fruit hasn't ripened. That rocoto, into its fourth season now, lived up to its reputation for being the best at coping with cooler weather. There are jalapeños enough, though not large. Even the bushes were small. Very encouraging was the valiant effort made by the never before in my garden Aleppo pepper. It deserves another run when the seasons are kinder.
Conspicuous in their absence are the aji amarillo, the padron and the aji panca. There's no salsa huancaína this year, which is a pity. It makes the best fusion mac and cheese. I run with scissors so life on the edge with fried padron peppers suits; only I struggled to get them to germinate and grow. They didn't even make it into the ground. Aji panca did grow, at least the pretty little bushes, but they failed to produce their delicious, raison-y, chocolate-brown fruit.
Perhaps next Summer?

Chilli, the 3yr old Andalucian PRE...she's gorgeous but she's also a 'drama queen' with no manners.
i know this isn't a good picture of a horse galloping but intend to learn how to get a good shot of equine 'poetry in motion'.
Chilli update: Spent an hour or so transplanting seedlings this afternoon. There's about 40 of them overall and there's no way I'll find space for all of them as they grow on. Some of them may not survive the shock of being transplanted anyway (most look very sorry for themselves now but they should recover over the next week). In any event there should be enough left to provide me with a good crop of fiery little beauties even after giving some plants away. If you're nearby then feel free to pick up a plant or 2 in a few weeks.
