My chili plants are still producing few pods, milder but really tasty.
In the picture: Aji Amarillo, Numex Suave Orange, Trinidad Perfume and two Red Paprika pods.
I used all these chilies with some fresh herbs from my garden in this recipe.

I put the cheese balls over lettuce leaves (my last harvest of winter lettuce) and... do you think they look like a Christmas tree, or it's just me sick of Christmas nostalgia?
