I realize that this doesn't look too appealing in the picture, but it tasted great. We've started doing "Bountiful Basket" which allows us to receive a lot of fresh produce each week for not much money, and this morning when I went to pick up our baskets of goods, I noticed that we had received about 8 green bell peppers. That's on top of what we've been eating from our garden. I had a flashback to being a missionary in Bulgaria, and one of my favorite memories was the smell of pechni chuski, or burnt peppers. Bulgarians use a lot of peppers in their meals, and I ate stuffed peppers on a weekly basis. We've been making several ethnic foods lately at our house for dinner, many of which dishes are Bulgarian, so I thought, why not try stuffed peppers tonight.
You'd be amazed what a four-year-old will eat if you tell him or her that it's a food from your mission. Somehow, it makes it taste better. Say, for example, you served your mission in Montana. You could use the old, "Oh, you're going to love this road kill. I ate it all the time on my mission." Betcha ten bucks your kids will eat it better than they would have otherwise. In fact, I just might serve some tomorrow night. I'll let you know how it goes....
I don't think I would like those stuffed peppers. Your kids are braver than their Aunt Becky. Roadkill, now, that might be interesting . . . I wonder how Scott liked it on his mission in Montana???
ReplyDeleteBecky hates stuffed peppers. In fact she doesn't like green peppers at all. I tried some stuffed peppers on her and her Dad and it didn't go over very well. I like them tho. Let me think, How would you like Haggis from my mission? Don't think so .......
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with road kill? If it is cooked right it taste like chicken.
