Hi Karen,
My ma-in-law, a recent hotsauce convert came down to Cape Town for a few
days and presented me with a chile clock that she found in a Johannesburg
craft market. It consists of an inch-thick circular plate of clear resin in
which real red Thai chiles have been set in a pattern, a central hole
drilled and a clock mechanism installed. Kitsch but very cute: I love it.
This M-in-L is the only family member who will sit down and eat fresh
sardines with me, done Portugese-style, rolled in coarse salt and grilled
over hot coals, then slathered with lemon juice and piripiri sauce. Hmm:
time for a visit to the fishmonger....
