good luck

What do you do with a couple of chili plants
 in your garden that produce lots of fruit?


You make yourself a chili ristra!

Ristra means string in Spanish.
Traditionally they are hung near the entrance of a home
 symbolizing an abundant harvest.
Hanging a ristra brings good luck.

I'm looking forward to a bowl of thick chili
 out of my cast iron pot as the weather gets cooler.
Happy Friday everyone! b
