Red peppers!

Ooh, I almost forgot! To add to my last post: roasted red peppers!  Red peppers have been really cheap at Winco lately (I think because they are all misshapen and long and flat, but this makes them better for roasting), so I've been buying them with gay abandon and roasting/slicing/freezing them in bulk.  I LOVE red pepper.  I roast them with just olive oil and they are so good on salad, sandwiches, sauces, etc.  Even the baby likes them!

I tried growing my own red pepper plants, but here in the NW the summer simply doesn't get hot enough for long enough, nor does the sunshine last long enough for them to do anything but be miniscule pathetic green things that then get eaten by slugs.  Someday I will grow my own, even if I need a greenhouse for them!!
