Hey, Peter!How you is? Yep, those look like really nice BIG ripe jals 
all ready to be smoked or stuffed. Lately at superstore I have seen some 
huge jals, only green. They have also been fairly warm as well. The new 
mgt team who took over our bldg have decreed no more barbies either gas 
or charcoal...I had given mine away, in any event, I prefer to grill, 
and I have a really neat Thermos grill, which runs off the small bottles
not that I really care, if I wanted to I would go ahead and test their 
new rule(and then talk to my friends, the owners)Cheers, Doug, across 
the water
