Though Italy's climate is generally mild and comfortable, its reputation for balmy Mediterranean temperatures year-round is slightly exaggerated. Weather is still warm in late September, but rainfall can be common, so pack rain-resistant boots and a light weatherproof jacket. This is especially important if you'll be touring Venice -- though the city's canals typically rise and flood in winter, this has been known to occur in autumn as well. In October, temperatures are not extreme, but the averages tend to drop from September.
Crushed red pepper. Crushed red pepper or red pepper flakes (RPF) is a condiment consisting of dried and crushed (as opposed to ground) red chili peppers. This condiment is most often produced from cayenne-type peppers, although commercial producers may use a variety of different cultivars, all within the 30,000-50,000 Scoville Unit range.
Chili Powder. Chili Powder is a spice blend usually made from chile pepper, garlic and onion powder, salt and other herbs and spices. Chili powder is used in Texas chili and a variety of chili con carne dishes. At times, chili powder can be used as a substitute for chile powder, but not always.ome Texas chili recipes use chili powder as the seasoning, while others use chiles with herbs and spices. New Mexico has a chile con carne made with dried, red New Mexico chiles or chile powder, herbs and spices. As far as how it is spelled, Iâve seen it spelled both as chili con carne and chile con carne.
