Many grocery stores let 'roasters' set up in parking lots to roast our bulk purchases. Traditional Hispanic families will gather to peel roasted chilies and prepare them for storage. It comes just ahead of their big family tamale making parties where generations gather and prove that many hands make for light work. It's a blast!
