Paprika, Spanish Smoked Hot, Pimenton de la Vera Picante

Spanish Smoked Hot Paprika ia also known as Pimenton de la Vera, Picante. It is a popular ingredient in many Mediterranean recipes, and essential to Spanish cuisine. The peppers are dried slowly over an oak-burning fire for several weeks. The result is a hot, smoky flavor. Try it in soups or chorizo. Add it to garlic flavored mayonnaise, which can then be used as a spread for grilling chicken or fish. Use it to make your deviled eggs truly sinister.

Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones even bruise at too heavy a human touch. It hit her then that every strawberry she had ever eaten--every piece of fruit--had been picked by calloused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represented someone's knees, someone's aching back and hips, someone with a bandanna on her wrist to wipe away the sweat. Why had no one told her about this before?
