We stopped at a Mexican supermarket to get a few things for dinner this evening, like green onions, corn, zucchini, chiles. It is always fun to go to the produce section at a Mexican grocery store because it is full of cool, interesting shapes and colors.

The chile güerito, or yellow chile is cool to photograph, because it is not thin and it is not long, so I guess I can relate to that. According to the Real Academia Española Dictionary, güero is an indigenous voice that pertains to a person with blonde or light hair. It is mostly used in Mexico to refer to a person who is light-skinned, and that is what a lot of people have called me all my life: güero or güerito (its diminutive) because I am fair-skinned. Plus, I'm short and plump and definitely spicy, so a chile güerito is the closest thing to me at the produce section.
