Olives and super chili peppers, oh my!

Whoops...... I'm back!

Bought these puppies at Trader Joe's this morning. Can't be anything bad about them, right!?

I love that they have an Ode to Olives [pdf] on their site. 


Amazing new Trader Joe's item

As an aside, Flickr's new photo page really blows.

So also, I've been growing some plants on my balcony. Some have been more successful than others. A few months ago, my poor super chili (yes that's the name of the variety) fell off the balcony onto the ground below, but I was able to save it. I've been harvesting a few peppers off of it (they're REALLY spicy), but just in the last week, the thing decided to explode with flowers. If you look at the original version, you can see that there are literally a hundred soon-to-be peppers. I've been chopping them and freezing them so I have chili peppers ready whenever I want.

super chili plant gone wild!

Only bad thing could be the red peppers (unless they're HOT red peppers!).
Pepper plant looks MUCH better than it did laying on the sidewalk, after it fell off the balcony railing!! ;)

They're not spicy, they're like the pimientos that are stuffed into green olives. Not many of them though. It's pretty good!

yeah, a lot better! Just in the past week it just exploded with blooms!!!
