Dried Chilies

We left for Eugene about 5:30 on Friday. Just in time to wait in the parking lot that is the I-205/1-5 South interchange. It only took us 3 hours to get to Tom and Joanne's place. A trip that should really never take more than 2 hours. Yuck!
It was nice to relax once we got there. I noticed a bunch of dried chilies they had in a big bowl. One of their friends grows really great chilies and then Tom and Joanne dry them and grind them up into chili flakes. Let me tell you, these chilies are spicy. A little flake goes a long way. I thought the colors and texture made a great photo.
