Last night I was cutting up bell peppers for salad. I looked at one of the rings, and mentioned to silkensteel that they'd be really cute to fry an egg in. She agreed that sounded like a good idea, and we'd have to do that someday.

The next few slices I cut were so perfectly shaped that "someday" turned into "right now"



Unfortunately, when I offered it to Leif, he looked at them dubiously and asked, "Is that tomato?" (None of our family is crazy about tomato). I told him no, it was pepper, and he declared that he did not like pepper, and refused to eat them, even after I told him he could pop the egg part out.

So much for cute food encouraging kids to eat their veggies :)

I find peppers to go from less sweet to more in order of green -- > red

Red are the sweetest, to me.

I have a pepper on the plant outside that's greenish/yelowish with a hint of red, will probably harvest it at half-red.
