The Red and Green of Christmas

The date that was on my new clock was December 25th. The time was two minute before one. I had just finished making spicy peanut noodles with home made chili oil; a recipe that I acquired from one of my best friends in Tucson (a great way of bringing my friend home for the holidays).

The recipe he gave me called for chili oil.  Living here in New England, they think ketchup is spicy. So there is no need to carry chili oil at the Stop and Shop, or the Trader Joes. I had to make my own.

I got the chili oil recipe from this blog http://www.foodonthebrain.net/2010/02/03/homemade-chili-oil/ it turned out delicious even though I did not use the ermented black beans. Enjoy.
