Trade out saltines for the rice and you’ve got some good eats.

Chile Rellenos - Yummm

Best stuffed peppers I ever had were in a little lunch shop on Barrone Street in NO. They were in an unbelievably rich brown gravy instead of tomato sauce. I’ve tried to duplicate it but never came close.

No cheese. The stuffing flavors the pepper.

My mother used to make us stuffed pepper soup, similar to this recipe except that you skip the oven and add them to water with tomatoes and onions in it.

I like those...

I have a vegetable question of sorts.

I normally buy pepper plants because they’re a bit hard to start in the northwest. This year, I have green bell peppers, purple bell peppers, a few varieties of decorative red peppers and...

Jalapenos from Hades!!!

OK today I’m out trying a few of the peppers, I ate one of the tiny decorative ones, it was sweet but not much to it. The purples are delicious.

Then I tried a small green one and holy momma I almost passed out it was so hot!!! A pint of milk later and a slice of bread with PB on it barely toned it down.

So what is the best way to dry these suckers? I can actually see saving them in case I ever want to make a spicy dish but I gotta get a jar and draw skull and crossbones on it... it might be that the best thing I could do for humanity is to dig a hole ten feet deep and bury them man oh man....!!!
