GRANPA SAYS IT'S TIME FOR PEPPERS

Red Sheppard peppers on sale for $9.98 at box at Food Basics made for some Fall preserves.

I made 5 jars of pickled peppers. Granpa likes his pork chops simmered in the red vinegar and pepper mix. So they will help for those meals.

Roasted peppers on the barbecue and bagged 11 bags of 2 each.I kept 3 for our dinner meal. Nicely peeled of their skin and seeds with some vegetable oil and garlic. Some people may put olive oil but I like the taste of the vegetable oil better.
Granpa likes fried fresh peppers in some vegetable oil with garlic. He eats them with a nice fresh bun or bread.
So couple of dozen peppers kept for fresh consumption.
I like red peppers in a veggie platter and dip. Our grandchildren like red peppers too.
Besides being colourful, they are a healthy vegetable.
So Granpa loves red peppers.

GRANPA SAYS IT'S TIME FOR TOMATOES

We stopped making passata years ago. So now we watch for the fall sales of it.
Food Basics had Aurora passata for 88cents a jar. 7 cases later of 12 each we are good for another year.
I bought a case of Roma tomaotes. Washed and bagged 7 bags of 20 each. Good for sauce and stews and soups.
One round of canned whole tomatoes- 12 at 99cents. Will look for more sales.
Using tomatoes in a variety of ways in cooking is always on our menu plan.

I used to make more pickles and jams but not anymore. No one really eats it.
