Chili Season

My mother’s secret recipe

Every pepper has its place a single note in symphonic stew

Delicately diced to unleash spice encouraged to socialize with garlic, onion, broth:

Together, they create a melody we cherish, the three of us beaming at our old kitchen table.

With love to my mother, Raine Shakti
