New thing bloggin: itty bitty sweet peppers

I am all for the itty bitty sweet peppers. I can get about six of them for three dollars. This means I can use two whole peppers in a salad and I am left with four whole peppers that will not dry out over the course of the day or go bad in short order. Also, they cost about the same as the regular red and orange and yellow peppers at the grocery store.

In just about a month the farmers markets will be opening up. Good times.

Also, I have been miniwheat free for something like three or four days now. The FMW have not been on sale like they usually are and I ran out. I've been eating the Safeway knockoff of Cranberry Almond Crunch ("Healthy Heart" my eye! So much sugar!) and contemplating the fake private label FMW I bought instead. Here's how passive aggressive I am toward it: I left it in the bag on the kitchen floor for three days and kicked it around a little while I was making breakfast and dinner. What a misplaced way to be hostile.

Who knows, they may even be as good as my tasty overlord FMW. I doubt it, though.

Made a decent vinaigrette last night with balsamic vinegar (which tastes good, but I have an instinctive hatred for because of having been a waitress and having fetch the stuff for people and having to walk around the front of the house smelling that pungency a lot — it just triggers my lizard brain), olive oil and a dash of sesame oil. If anyone has a suggestion for additions, I'd be all for it.

That was a hint. Comment. Please!!
