At a meeting last month someone offered me free bell peppers and various peppers. I accepted and took just a few. She pointed out that everyone had taken some, so I could have the rest. Well, give me a plastic bag. The rest of the basket was cleaned out by me!
Some of the green, yellow, and orange bell peppers were so tiny. Remember, these were home grown. Later in the week I saw the tiny colored peppers in Publix and they were tiny. I thought they were tiny because someone grew them at home and they just did not get big. Now, I wonder if I was given bell peppers.
Foolishly, I passed on the hot peppers. It never occurred to me until too late that I could string these and dry them, later making hot pepper relish. When I grew peppers, I either dried them on a string or gave them to a friend to eat. Later in the winter I ground up the dried cayenne peppers and made pepper jelly.
Linda I am not a pepper fan unless on a sausage sandwich but chicken and dumplings sounds good right now. I like to freeze portions of meat too. Saves so much time. We are kind of tired of chicken but you cant bewt your marwthon cooking method. I'll bet your broth is wonderful.
ReplyDeletecarol,
DeleteI like pimientos in cheese, hot peppers in jelly only, and bell peppers to season only.
I usually freeze two or three legs for him in one package. These were cooked way too long and fell apart, so I had to perform the odious job of picking the meat off the bone. Of course, I freeze the breast whole and for me...lol. I never get tired of chicken, never. The house smells wonderful, too.
Linda if you don't like the doughy feel of biscuits as dumplings, you can toss cut pieces of flour tortillas into the chicken broth and it makes lovely flatter dumplings. I used to do this all the time for Son3 because chicken and dumplings was his favorite meal. I always had cooked chicken and bags of chicken broth in the freezer and this made a super fast entree that he loved.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne,
DeleteI was going to roll the biscuits out on a floured surface, hoping they would not be doughy. Right now, I don't have biscuits or tortillas, so I will get one. Thanks for the information.
It all sounds so good! Especially after moving sand and clay for 2 hours! I am beat and STARVING! As I get older, I cannot handle the heat of peppers as well, but I do like to cut out all the white veins, then stuff them with cheese and chorizo, wrapped in bacon, then grilled. Bell peppers though - I could eat and eat and eat and eat!
ReplyDeleteMy mother loved Bell peppers and so does my older g-daughter. I like peppers for seasoning, but not for eating. However, anything hot I cannot handle, either. I will have to see if exbf would like peppers the way you describe.
ReplyDeleteI know you must be tired and starving. I don't have to work hard to get in that condition.
