Dinner for two...

I said I would... so...

Here are the veggies in the oil.


Breadcrumbs...


...carefully roasted in a skillet.


The finished meal... before I finished it.

And, yes... that is mozzarella oozing from the center of the meatball.

Oh, that carnival squash tasted fantastic with a little brown sugar and turmeric.

Pepper... the trilogy!

Back in June my cube-neighbor brought in a pepper plant. With some help from y'all I pollinated the flowers and peppers formed. Most of the peppers fell off when they were small... I think because the plant was in a small pot and didn't have enough nutrients.

However, one flourished. It didn't get big... but it got RED! I picked it and hoped it would be spicy but to my surprise it was rather sweet. Below you will see what I did with it :)

Also, I transplanted it into a bigger pot and put frsh topsoil. Now there are a multitude of new blooms forming so maybe we will have a nice size crop. I saved the seeds from this little guy and will try to get some new sprouts at home. There's nothing quite like fresh fruits and veggies.













And I have to admit... it was very tasty!

What became of the peppers?...

Last month I showed you the plant with the flowers...

Although a few didn't take look at the few that did :)



Can't wait to eat these :)

what to do about peppers...

My cube neighbor brought a pepper plant to work and it took up residency in my window. It blooms but then the flowers die and new ones open. However, no peppers are forming. I'm assuming that pollination needs to take place in order for the "fruit" to form and we have a lack of bees, butterflies, humming birds, and lady bugs on my sill. Enlighten me if I am right or wrong. Your suggestions are appreciated.
