Free Chilli for Life

18/9/2013

So there I was, I had completed all of my shopping but for one small item. I was preparing to cook up a Bolognese and wanted to add a bit of extra heat. Unfortunately the market I was shopping in was not a purveyor of Chilli.

I strolled into the fruit shop to buy one solitary chilli. At the check out I placed the chilli on the scales and it came up as zero weight. I was willing to pay, but the clerk assured me that, since it did not return a weight I could have it for free! I am sure it was already going under, but this fruit shop closed down less than a fortnight later. I am hoping my chilli escapades were not the last straw in this retailers financial woes. Who knows, perhaps the scales were faulty and people were carting away whole watermelons or pumpkins for free.

Anyhow, this got me to thinking, "If I play my cards right I can enjoy free chilli for the rest of my life". So once home I carefully sliced open my lone chilli and extracted the seeds that now held the promise of hot cyclic edible joy for next several decades.

I shall now dry out the free chilli seeds and plant them in a couple of weeks. I am hoping that through continual replanting I will never need to pay for chilli ever again.
