I love pearl onions but haven’t even thought of them in years. I bought some in the produce department wants, they were a pain to peel! I think they have frozen ones though?

I can’t think of any thanksgiving recipes to post. I guess I usually just wing it. Like tonight, I made stuffed peppers. Using the last of the peppers from the garden. I started out with the recipe from Better Homes & Gardens. But that one is too tomatoey for me, So I use about half the amount they say. But I added in some fresh tomatoes at the very end. Plus I use more ground beef then they say, and I added garlic and marjoram and thyme. Idon’t know how much of each, just until I thought it was enough. And I skip the cheese.

That’s how all of my “recipes” go. So I would hate to post something that I really wasn’t sure about.

My father’s stuffed pepper recipe was with a bread crumb mixture, no meat, we had it on Christmas Eve, traditionally a meatless day. It had pine nuts, and anchovies I think, and the peppers were basted while cooking with a port wine sauce (or just red wine with a bit of sugar added).

In recent years we had trouble finding the huge jars of big red and green vinegar peppers. You could try making your own vinegar peppers but we never did. The red ones were my favorite; they were sweeter and had thinner skins. Just memories now.
