Unfortunately internet smell-o-vision has not yet been invented (as far as I know,) but if it had, this picture would be accompanied by my favorite smell in the world: the aroma of roasting chiles.
This past Sunday my crew got back from the Ballard Market with a big bag of super-ripe heirloom tomatoes from a farmer who likes to trade me tomatoes for salsa. I roasted them, along with some locally grown chiles, and the smells and tastes filled me with joy. It struck me that this was collaboration at its finest: her skills went into producing the tastiest possible tomatoes, and mine went into transforming them (at the risk of being immodest) into a very fine salsa.
