Chili Pepper News — winter

For most of the country, winter is a wild combination of the best and worst. There are plenty of good times to be had all winter long, from Thanksgiving to Valentine’s Day, but then there is the endless amount of shoveling and de-icing that must happen for those events to take place. For months, it will be damn cold but inside, you’ll find roaring fires and hot chili con carne cooking in the kitchen.

The last stretch of winter always seems the hardest. It may not be the coldest time (though this year has been a bit crazy), but everyone is just so tired of the long nights and freezing temperatures. And, there aren’t all those wonderful holidays to break the drudgery of brushing snow from your car twice a day.
