Perhaps with the cool weather this week they will produce more sugar for more flavor. Anyhow, that time of year is here for fresh peppered food! Enjoy your day,

Hello Fred! Welcome aboard...join the other Hot Shots on this list.
There are a number of other folks from Ohio on the list, including one
academic type, who has been notably quiet lately. Dunno though, as he is
a Scot, nobody can predict with any semblance of accuracy, WHAT he will
do...
Guess I am the grand daddy referred to by that delightful young
lady(welll, young to ME at 83!)SandyO! There are some here who have been
onboard longer than I, but I do believe that as far as age goes, I is it!
Think I began posting to this list about 1996, or perhaps year earlier,
and every time I came up with a recipe that worked well, I would send it
on. One of our enterprising members collected them and posted them to
his web site. Go to: http://www.pepperfool.com Click RECIPES then
scroll down to Doug Irvine. The blurb is way outta date, but recipes
are still good. I am still cooking, Marie is still baking, and we had
our 60 th wedding anniversary last March.
I have two pepper plants on the deck along with 4 tomato plants, 2
tomatillas, Italian oregano, parsley, mint, chives, rosemary, 2
different basils, sage, thyme! As well as numerous flowers in window
boxes! We live in an apartment with a south facing deck, and the reason
for only two peppers, is I am still working on dried peppers from a
couple of years ago.
Cheers, Doug on Vancouver Island BC
