Challenge Chile

Last chance today!

Here's my entering to the Chile Challenge

hosted by At Home With Rebecka

It is autumn, it is getting chilly

and what we need is hot heartwarming soup

full of colour, antioxidants and taste!

My own chicken and chile soup

with red peppers, tomatoes, onions, leek, carrots, chick peas, cellery, garlic,

thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper

and of course chile and chicken!

And some home made bread rolls with pumkin seeds

after all, it is Halloween

Chile and cinnamon

The 2 th generation chile

is growing in my garden

last years summer was cold and rainy

and I had to keep my plants indoors most of the summer.

It was autumn when I spotted the first chile babies
This year, the weather is better, and my plants are in the garden,

flowering.

And by the look of it, getting enough warmth to grow their first

chile baby I got the first seeds two years ago sent to me

from my friend in NY

then I took seeds from last years chile

and planted them this spring,

hence 2th generation chile, grown in Norway.

Last week we went on holiday to Sweden.

We had such a relaxing week, everyone was on track

and the weather was lovely.

The swedish eggs was terrible,

but the cinnamon rolls was just heaven

I got inspired, and made a batch today

Now the house smells

cinnamon heaven!

I've had a quiet and relaxing Sunday today.
Husband and kids
finds it very entertaining to get scared to death
in rollercoasters etc
They've spent all day enjoying themselves in an amusement park
.
I have no near death wish,
I baked them som lunch to bring
Sent them off

And enjoyed the peace, baking and reading

and finally seeing the film

Julie&Julia

Which I enjoyed very much!

Fire and forgetfulness

Presenting my chile babies

Full of red fire
And then
Blogging and baking simultaneously
might cause distraction...
And the smell of something burning!

What a waste!

straight in the bin!

sigh.....

Harvest time

Last year I brought a tomato home from Greece

I planted the seeds

and took good care of the plants

Like I've never done before!

But the summer was rainy, and cold.

Nothing like the sunny Greek summer!

From my lovely green tomato plants

I got only one decent tomato

The rest of them were small

At least it was a good tomato


And gave me new seeds for next year.
I'm not a quitter!!

In the backround

a couple of drying chiles

At least they came out red and lovely!

Chile

Almost a year ago
I recieved a packet og Candy from my friend Le Chien

In New York

The candy was the type I like

It was chile

grown in New Mexico
It has given so much warmth, color

and taste

through the year

There was also seeds

which I planted in our scandinavian soil The summer was rainy and wet

But I took care of my plants the best that I could
I waited and waited

and suddenly one plant started to flower.

After a while I saw to my excitement

that a chile baby was on it's way!

It grew bigger and bigger and finally when the plant started to get tired

the red color appeared

I'm so proud! My first Chile baby

From so far away!

I wonder if it will taste differently than it's origin!

Chicken and chick pea soup

It is always time for soup

Warm, thick and tasty.

our throuts are slightly sore,

just when school is about to start for the kids.

I didn't go lightly on the chile!

My July garden

Remember the chile I got from my friend Le Chien?

He said that to get them to grow chiles

I had to make sure the bees did their job on the flower department

(if you know what I mean)

Well my chile babies has been enjoying a good life in my kitchen window

because the weather hasn't exactly been like New Mexico..

They are just about to start flowering now

so I had a look in my garden to see

which plants had most action going on.

At the moment the chile plants are enjoying a party

with the boysenberry plants..

What do you think Cristo?

Any hope?

A lot going on in the flower and bumble bee department...

Another exciting development is my greek tomatoes
Still just flowering,
but they have been living out door all summer, bless them!

if i get any luck on these two projects,
I can promise you
there will be some "show-and-tell" posting!

Flowering mint

Soon to be full grown apples

Cherries. I'm working on my motivation to pick a load,

remove the pips inside

and make something!

It takes some time to do it, and gets very messy!

(I don't mind messiness but with these,

you have to wear your worst t-shirt

because at the end you are ready to cast in a splatter movie)

Enchiladas

I haven't done this before, but it can't be that difficult

Wheat tortillas

(in the sun)

minced chicken, and vegetables

crushed tomatoes and of course: chile

and chilibeans

Wrap, roll and stack

and cover with grated cheese

Served with avocado, and quark
