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. 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!
❤️.
