'TIS THE SEASON: PEPPER MANIA


I got a big 'ol bag of mixed peppers, both sweet and hot, in my last order from The Bountiful Sprout. Just as I was standing there at the kitchen counter, trying to think of what to do with them all, my hubby came waltzing in with a bag full of freshly roasted Hatch chiles! (It's Hatch Chile Festival time over at Central Market in Austin)


We were having baked potatoes topped with leftover chili and cheese for supper that night, and a few skinned and chopped roasted chiles made a superb addition to that combination, but I still have at least a half dozen more large, plump chiles in my freezer, as well as that bowl of fresh peppers on my counter, just waiting for a few brilliant ideas. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I want to hear more about the Hatch chilies. I saw them when I was at HEB today and wondered about them. By the way, did I tell you about the goats? They are coming tomorrow.

You guys really bought some goats? I thought you were just joking about that!

We're renting them. When they've cleared the lot they go back.

Cool! I had no idea you could do that!
