Any Alaskan will tell you that when the fireweed is at the top of the plant, that summer is over. Winter is on his way. The first snow on the mountains is called “termination dust” and you’d better get your parkas and mukluks out of the closet!

Harissa is a spicy chili paste that is a staple in Tunisian (and much of northern Africa) food.
