Peruvian Aji Salsa. The Word Aji Shawn and Gry also about my lavender

[Guest guest]

Shawn, I eat at Pollo Inca once in a while and they have aji as a green salsa

and it's thick but I noticed they call the peppers aji and the thick paste type

salsa aji also. I'll leave that stuff for you and my sister....LOL When I eat

at my sisters I always toss my stuff on the BBQ first, she could kill me with

those peppers.....hahaha

That's interesting that Gary is growing those peppers also. On the menu the

just call the salsa aji and when they serve you dinner they always ask if you

want more aji at your table. GAry are your peppers green?

Gary, I did deadhead the lavender, it really perked up and now more blooms are

starting. Thank you for your help. I was afraid to cut the dead ones off so

I'm glad I asked you about it. I thought maybe I was going to have to send

Casey Jones in to help my plant! Donna

Wonderful. That'd be a great hot, sweet and smoky combo.
