Found some Thai peppers in the herb garden, all nicely sun-dried, and brought them indoors for my World Curries class this Saturday.
And the garlic is poking through the snow.
Served this pickle at the World Curries class and everyone hated it!!!. They’re a pretty sweet group, so I wasn’t surprised.
I bet my daughter Kendra would like them.
