==Description==
The strings of chile that you see around the southwest hanging next to doorways, on patios, and on fences, are called ristras. In September and October, ristras are usually available to buy next to the road at informal stands, and at farmer's markets. They are a popular and distinctive decoration of the southwestern US. Hanging the beautiful ristras is said to encourage good health and bring good luck. An additional benefit is that the dried chiles from the ristras are a way of storing the chiles until later when they can be used in cooking. On today's quest, we are heading to the southwest to find out about chile ristras! <BR><BR>
