Peter Piper Picked a Pepper...

Does anyone love peppers as much as me? Well, apparently I love them more considering the enormous pile of green and red ones I have accumulated over the past few days. I can not turn down anything free, (except for massages... unless there from my husband) so when my neighbor offered me a bag full of peppers I had to say yes... because they were free! I asked why she had so many peppers to give away and she informed me that a friend of hers went to a pepper festival and bought 56 pounds of them! What in the world would anyone do with 56 pounds of peppers! My neighbor said that her friend was going to eat them... seriously can anyone eat 56 pounds of peppers?

Well, obviously the answer is no because after attending a meeting tonight I came home to another delightful bag full of peppers. So apparently my neighbors friend has turned desperate and is sneakily trying to pawn these suckers onto me. At this point I am wishing that this free item that I just can not say no to was something way more edible!

I am now in the position to figure out what to do with such a hefty load of peppers before they spoil. If my great loot goes to waste I will feel defeated at this obstacle that has been placed before me. I must use all my peppers and enjoy them no matter how me or my family feels about eating pepper filled dishes for the next week. I can see it now... the possibilities are endless and I will turn peppers into a staple food, one that is so versatile that it will be a must-have in the kitchen for all of us cooking mothers. I am so excited to venture out into this new pepper filled adventure in my life.
Oh and by the way, if you find a bag full of peppers on your porch... they were NOT from me! :)

Make a Pepper pie!

I don't envy you. Peppers are yummy but I don't think I've ever actually used one myself.
