Hi all, long time no post. My wife is abandoning me and the kids next week on a business trip to San Diego. As a penance for being such a heartless wife/mother I have made it clear I want PRESENTS!!! I am hoping she'll bring me back some chile stuff. Can anyone recommend a good place to get chile t-shirts or kitchen aprons? Are dried chiles available just about everywhere? We have limited availability here in England so what types should I ask her to look out for? Any other suggestions (nothing that will take her into excess baggage charges though)? I'm not sure at the moment what hotel she's staying at but it'll be in the centre somewhere. thanks David The Curry House http://www.curryhouse.co.uk for recipes, articles and questions - all about curry
