I hadn't thought of planting chiles when I did my garden this year (the first time I've lived in an apartment with any kind of space to plant), but I was lucky enough to get a free Thai Hot Pepper seedling at a community event this weekend, so we'll see how that does. Next year: purple peppers for sure! Thanks Barbara!

Bomboniera--I -love- chocolate and chile. Stay tuned for one of my most coveted, desired and infamous recipes to be unveiled this week that involves chocolate and chiles. Diane--serranos are a good all-purpose chile. The fresh chiles I am most likely to have around all the time, though are Thai bird chiles. Frozen, I know I have habeneros, jalapenos, I -did- have serranos, but ran out, green Indian mirchi, poblanos and roasted New Mexican green chiles. Dried, I have ancho, chile colorado, chipotle and tien tsen. Powdered, I have cayenne, and chipotle. Flaked or crushed and dried, I have jalapeno, Pakistani red chiles, Aleppo pepper and California red chiles. And canned, I have chipotle en adobo, and pickled, I have Thai bird chiles. I also have a bunch of salsas, sauces and jellies in the pantry somewhere. I should probably drag them all out and take a photograph, just so people can see how chile obsessed I am! Raedia--yes, they are in my herb box garden--I bought them last weekend as two plants from my CSA farmer at the farmer's market. I had to replace some herb plants that drowned in the self-watering planters that got overly wet because of a lot of rain and their roots rotted. Very sad. I don't know what variety they are, but I will ask Becky, who grew them in her greenhouse on Saturday at the market, and come back here to report back. Risingsun--there are gentle chiles to start out with, you know. Aleppo pepper is one to look for, as are poblanos or anchos. Esther--I adore green chiles and yogurt in Indian food. If I sat and named -every- delicious combination of chiles and other flavors--wow--I don't know that I could name them all! But you picked up on a great one. I love green chiles, yogurt and cardamom a lot. With cilantro. Oooh, that foursome just makes me shiver! L.G.--I did not get the emailed entry.
