Mrs. George (who almost never cooks) made stuffed green peppers. Some salad on the side and it was good. nomnomnomnomnom |

I just had an interesting (well, interesting to me, at least) thought. Mrs. George (who grew up in Cicero, IL) is not a big fan of exotic foods. If it's not from the good old US of A, she wants nothing to do with it. Chinese? Nope Mexican? God forbid! Italian? Well, as long as it's pizza. French? Too 'saucy'. So, these stuffed green peppers reminded me of Arabic (Middle Eastern) food - which I love. You know, beef, rice, onion, etc. Am I out of my mind? Wait, you know know the answer to that. I mean, am I wrong? |

Mmmm stuffed green peppers. My mom used to make those for our family when I was younger. She's putting together a cookbook now for her grown sons of meals she made for us growing up, and that's one of them she said, I can't wait. I had a leftover chicken sandwich from Dogfish Head Brewery Restaurant. nomnomnom |

That is such a lovely idea. It'll never taste as good as when mom made it, but that's how it goes. ![]() That'll be a treasure. |

Stuffed peppers are on my menu for next week (I use couscous instead of rice, and turkey sausage instead of beef. Yumm!). Tonight I had hot italian sausages with green peppers & onions, garlic and parm rice, and a tossed salad with a lemon/yogurt/cilantro "dressing" that was actually leftover sauce from the lamb I made last night.

Red, orange or yellow pepper? Stuffed peppers are always favorites in our house. Meat, ricotta cheese, whatever. |

I love stuffed peppers! Maybe I'll make some soon. I have some beef I need to use, and that's a good idea! |

I can't stand green peppers either, Mik. They ruin virtally every dish they're in. I think it's genetic. Those who like green peppers actually lack the full complement of taste buds that we have.

I like them raw OK, just not cooked. Mushy and icky. You have a fine, discerning palate, R2.

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Puking up pizza with green peppers when I was 10 was what fixed that for me. Ick. |

I'm with you, except that I was a beet lover from the get-go. That's what I love about this place. The diversity. |
