I dunno, that didn't sound like a "real" troll to me ...

Oh, all right.

So, we bought a big bag of yellow, orange, and red bell peppers at Costco this
weekend.  Now we have to figure out what to do with them.  I like my mom's
bell pepper salads, but I've never been able to make them work for me.

Here's what DH did last night:

Cut an orange bell pepper into short strips and put them into two bowls, one
for each of us

Liberally applied rice vinegar to the strips, enough that there was a small
puddle of vinegar at the bottom of the bowl

Sprinkled just a little bit of sugar on top

Mixed it all up and let it sit for about 20 minutes

Mmmm mmm good!  I asked him where he got the idea, and he claimed it was more
or less the cucumber salad you get at Japanese restaurants, just with bell
pepper instead of cucumber.

You just brought back a very old memory.  My mother used to fix cucumbers
that way when I was a teen ager

So did mine.  Then we got more "sophisticated" and started making it by
slicing onions and cucumbers, adding salt and letting it sit till the
cucumbers wilt (about an hour) and then adding sour cream.  And to get real
fancy sprinkle it with some dill weed when you serve it.

Really not any better than grandma's plain old sliced fresh cucumbers out of
the garden with salt and vinegar.

We used to mix sour cream with cucumber slices and sprinkle with garlic
salt. Yum.

Dogs definitely can bark better than cats, but cars beat dogs in the
purring department.   MLB

Darn computer hates me.  Should be:  cats beat dogs in the purring
deparrtment.

My cats just beat up the dog on a regular basis.

However the d*g was given new ammo last night and today was caught
walking behind Huey squeaking his blue teddy bear.  Pine Cone is hiding
on the cat condo again, and QC has been hanging out in here.  I think
the score is currently even.

OMG!! When you started in on the recipe, I thought you were trying
to start a troll, and I half expected that pepper recipe to be
stuffed with cat meat.  lol

I'm not a pepper fan, but it sounds like it'd be yummy for one who
is. :)

Doh!  I wonder if most everyone avoided the post for that reason.

No, no, I just wanted to share this because it was yummy =)

I'm sure you could use other veggies, but I can't think of good ones for this
type of treatment off the top of my head.

A friend from high school used to slice tomatoes, pour red wine vinegar
over them, then sprinkle with sugar.  It was quite tasty.  I'll have to
try the peppers :)

Sounds interesting.  I like to slice up a nice tomato and sprinkle it with
salt, just eat it that way.

I used to eat bagels with cream cheese and salted tomato slices, but I haven't
done that in a few years.

Me too.  Fresh tomatoes is one of the few things I miss about growing up
on a farm.  I remember being shocked when I found out that city folks
have to pay for them.

I like slicing up tomatoes, pouring on some zesty Italian dressing,
with a bit of basil on top.
