I spotted these glass chili peppers in Chinatown a few weeks ago and couldn’t get them out of my mind. I’m not sure why I kept thinking about them, but I did yesterday I headed down to pick myself up a set. I picked out a long string of glass peppers with nicely decorated beads every inch or so. I hung them right above the sink so the light from the window shines right on them. They remind me of Texans. We lived with many Texans when we lived in Saudi Arabia – they are very familiar with the whole gas and oil industry. They also ate a lot of pecans, but pronounced them, pi-kaaans. That’s where I first tried pi-kaan pie. Very sugary.
On an completely unrelated note, my buddy, Bec, let us all know today that she’s heading back to Australia for good next month. Only after she tours around South America and Vietnam a bit. She is so lucky.
And I’m going to miss her very much.
