Next thing I know, Benjamin says, "Mom, those are so bright, you should take a picture of them." The way the boy thinks like me is SO scary!
You started it, Aunt Mary. (But they really are pretty, aren't they?)

Scary
So I'm making lunch for my kids, and they choose bell peppers as their vegetable. As I take them out I think to myself, "These are so bright and pretty. My sister-in-law would take a picture of them. I could do that, but I refuse to start taking pictures of food. Nope, I don't need one more thing to obsess over."
Oh my. I should perhaps apologize? But in fact, they are so bright and pretty! So I'll just say, nice work Tracy and Ben!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought that maybe you could overcome the verification for this one, Mary! No need to apologize--you gave us a good laugh. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that your kids will eat raw peppers in their lunch! That's a pretty grown up veggie!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely it's a bright idea for the theme and equally delicious..Happy weekdays ahead..
ReplyDeleteThey are making my mouth water! I need to hit the farmers market tomorrow and scoop up a couple of those. OH and how in the world did you get your kids to choose peppers as part of their meal? I am the only one in the house that will eat them...sigh...
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, good picture!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture...the lighting is perfect... & I too am impressed that your kiddos would choose them for their lunch. WOW! Share the secret!
ReplyDeleteA few of you asked how I got my kids to eat these. All I did was offer them. It think one day someone brought a veggie tray to a gathering we had and I offered them, and they said sure. The yellow ones seem especially sweet. But I think the kids liked the colors, and were more eager to try them. A little dip, and voila!
ReplyDeleteI didn't grow up with peppers, so only due to someone else's idea did I think to try them.
