My Life in Food

Ode to my friend T.K. (who out-cheffed me)

T.K., you are one of those really energetic people. A do-er. The kind of person who cycles 30 minutes to and …

We interrupt this program to show off a photo I took on the weekend: Dragonfly on Azalea. 😍
.
I took this on my phone. I just happened to be walking by and saw this dragonfly taking a bit of a rest on a beautiful flower. My phone was handy, so I snapped this photo and I'm pretty happy with it.
.
I love gardens and spring flowers and dragonflies and photos that magically work out despite lack of proper equipment and planning.

Feeling pretty good about the radish harvest today

Feeling pretty good about the radish harvest today. I love my tiny garden. I'm not going to do anything fancy with them, just eat them straight up and enjoy the super fresh garden taste ❤️

When a recipe calls for two fresh red Thai chilis,

When a recipe calls for two fresh red Thai chilis, but the grocery store only sells them in packs of 12 or more. . .
🌶️.
You can deal with the leftovers one of two ways: freeze them or dry them. Both methods are dead easy. To freeze, place them in a zipper lock bag, label & date, and pop into the freezer.
To dry, spread the chilis out on a tray and let dehydrate in a dry room (I use my dining room) for several days. They may take up to a week to dry completely. Then transfer to a jar and store with your spices.
🌶️.
I prefer the dried method, as you can see from this photo. Mostly because I tend to lose things on my freezer 😅 The dried chilis last longer and can be used in a variety of ways. They can be broken up into coarse chili flakes, ground into a fiery chili powder, soaked for use in curry pastes and sauces. They can used in a variety of cuisines, not just in Thai food. And they look SO PRETTY on your spice shelf!
❤️.
