Pickles

I forgot to mention this before. At the midweek meal (Oct. 7 or 8, posted on Oct. 11), we broke into the pickles. The jalapeños were DELICIOUS. OMG. Never tasted anything so ridiculously flavorful. They were HOT, though. Poor guests. They were clearly in pain, yet kept having more because they were so yummy. :-)

Eventually, we came up with the strategy of dropping the chiles into the soup for extra flavor and some insulation from the heat. I should have made a raita that night.

The limes were also tasty, but not as distinctive. To be fair, Yamuna suggests that they need several more months to peak, whereas the chiles are good after one month.
