Corvette Club trip to Hunsader Farms


Hey, who knew that peppers came in all different colors? Seeing is believing, however, and this shot (taken with my phone) demonstrates how pretty a pepper can be. Sure, we all knew about green peppers, and of course red peppers, and I'd even see yellow peppers from time to time. My wife has seen even orange peppers - these are all "bell peppers", by the way.

My wife had never seen purple peppers, and my wife is much better at this food thing than I shall ever be. She watches the Food Network and other cooking channels on cable, and is always willing to try something new in the kitchen. So, at the price of two for a dollar, we now have a new color palate for a salad, and of course with Ranch dressing, we can also serve them cold as snacks.

I just thought this picture was far more interesting than another Corvette picture - which by the way we missed anybody else who was "meeting up" at the Publix just west of I-75, so we were a club trip of ourselves, and had a great time. Elizabeth said "let's go and find some produce" so without others present, we did just that.......and more. As it turned out, Hunsader Farms was the "Home of the Pumpkin Festival" and this weekend there was also a walk to support a charity for Down's Syndrome. We're from West St. Louis County, where Rombach's is the local pumpkin farm - Hunsaders is Rombachs on steroids, and then some.

I'll be talking about what more we saw, but this picture was just perfect and merited it's own blog entry. I'm a pepper, she's a pepper, wouldn't you want to be a pepper too.
