Chipotle Peppers

Chipotles (chip-oat-lay) are smoked, dried Jalapeño chiles. The Spice House offers two varieties of dried Chipotle chiles: Morita and Meco. The Moritas, availabe whole and ground, are a smaller chile with a dark red and black color. The Meco are larger in size and have a light brown hue. Both chiles have some heat from the fresh Jalapeño, but they are less intense and a bit nutty in flavor from the smoking process.

There is a communication of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine is drunk. And that is my answer when people ask me: Why do you write about hunger, and not wars or love.
