Flour Sack Kitchen Tea Towel "Aunty's Shishito Garden"

= Aunty's Shishito Pepper Garden with Lucky Gecko =
The Shishito pepper is small, finger-long, slender, and thin-walled. About one in every ten peppers is spicy. Mild, mild, mild... hot! The unexpected hit of heat and suspense is addictive. In Hawaiian tradition, the gecko is one of the important guardian spirits, or "aumakua", and a symbol of good luck. Geckos are said to protect the home and communicate with the gods.

+Aunty’s Recipe +
Heat sesame oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the peppers, turning occasionally, until they blister on all sides. Sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar, sake, and soy sauce. Enjoy!

Flour Sack Towels - Then and Now
From the 1850s to the 1950s, everything from flour, sugar, chicken feed, sausage, and even voting ballots was packaged in tightly woven cotton bags known as 'FLOUR SACKS.' Thrifty housewives would wash and bleach the sacks, then cut and sew them into underwear, pillowcases, toys, dresses, and, most commonly, kitchen towels. These towels are highly absorbent and lint-free, and their popularity has been passed down from mother to daughter. Today, in the United States, they are known as nostalgic towels used by grandmothers.
