The secret is out!!!

Teague just received a book last week entitled "Cook This Not That". He'd always been a fan of the "Eat This Not That" series of books, so naturally this needed to be added to our collection. Now between this book and the various magazines I read, one common piece of advice for adding nutritional benefits to your eating habits is by eating red peppers. I, personally, love red peppers and purchase them every week.

Unfortunately, I think the rest of the greater Vancouver area has been seeing the same infomation as well, as I went to 2 different grocery stores today (Walmart & Safeway) & both were sold out of red peppers. Not even wrinkly, misshapen were left, just those found in a hothouse combo pack (for $4.99) were left. Unfortunately, in this particular week, I need 2 red peppers for my dinner recipes. Do I drop $9.98 for 2 red peppers? Of course not! You all know how frugal I can be (on certain things, anyway).

My solution was to buy 2 orange peppers, but will that alter the fabulous-ness of my recipes? Hopefully I won't need to find out as I left Teague a message to stop by Fred Meyer on his way home from work. I'll keep you posted to see if I ever get my red peppers this week.....I know you're all on pins & needles.....
