That Red Pepper Time of Year









Korean cooking uses a lot of red pepper. You may have noticed that, in my pics of Korean food, a lot of it is red--it's not tomatoes, let me tell you.

So, this is the time of year when the peppers are being harvested and dried, dried in almost any place you can think of with direct sun--rooftops, sidewalks, etc.--and even in some with no sun . . . I saw some red peppers drying in the entranceway to a bookstore, but, alas, didn't think to take a picture.

Here are some pics I did take over the last week . . .
