Mouth watering already.

My SO found a deal on packages of small sweet peppers, so I now have about 10 packages that have to be used or frozen pretty quickly. I love his thrifty ways but sometimes he brings home waaaay too much all at once!

When I get the chance, I freeze peppers whole. Or for that matter, lots of fruits and vegetables whole, without blanching. Works out just fine for me. It's a trial and error experiment that I haven't been disappointed with.

It's not for preserving freshness as much as useability in recipes. It's fun to try and am usually happy with results.

Oh, and by the way, I had a favorite treat for supper - sardines served on saltines. That's it.

Squash-apple soup.

Big green, leafy salad with radishes, red peppers, scallion, etc. Croutons made with Judy bread.

A little pork slice with spicy pork sauce.

7. Indian Ginger chicken, dal, basmati rice and roti

The ginger chicken was from some boxed spice mix one of my daughters picked out at the Indian spice store nearby. It was pretty darn spicy, LOL, but really good.
Roti is a recipe that my uncle taught me. My kids love roti but I don't like to make it much - takes forever and my kids gobble it up way too fast! But I really dislike the store bought naan and roti in comparison, so every so often, when I have the time and energy, I make it.
