Quick stop in the garden this morning.

That one looks perfect. That wouldn’t be in the ugly bin at the grocery store. 😉
Thank you! A few more heading in that direction too. Just read lately that one of these has more vitamin C than an orange!

Another trip later in the day: (I really need to do something with the cayenne peppers... Sort of chicken to eat one.)

Glad you got your bell peppers to full colour :)
Takes forever, but it is worth it.
You can pickle the cayenne peppers, or turn into sambal or another hot sauce/paste.
Or dry them, then use as flakes, or for Thai red curry paste.
I'm sure I linked to this side somewhere at some point in time, but it got some good ideas Spicy Food, Chili Pepper & Hot Sauce Recipes - Chili Pepper Madness

Thank you! I've frequented that site and you've linked to it from somewhere... I think with the cayennes I'll let dry whole and I can snip off what I need. They're hotter than I'm used to but the flavor they have just can't be substituted in some dishes. 👍

My grandad would’ve said, “Lord have mercy, jus’ eat the thang!” - then he’d grab one, eat the whole thing in one bite, and…well, you ever see how a dog shakes their head when stung by a bee? He’d shake his head the same way, then say, “Nuttin’ to it!” :laugh:

One bite probably good going down...

The best way to test the strength of a hot pepper is to cut it in the middle, halfway between the stalk (the hottest part) and the tail (least hot part). Then you just slice a tiny sliver and put it in your mouth. You can chew it if you like (I do), but you'll know within 20 seconds how hot it is. If it's too hot for you, spit it out and eat some yoghurt, or drink a bit of milk.

Working up to that thank you! 😜
