I have never liked peppers. I don’t like the taste of bell peppers, and hot peppers are entirely out of the question for me. The other day, Desiree chopped up two hot peppers and sautéed them together with some garlic that had been hanging around for perhaps too long. Her idea was that she might use the results to season some dishes at a later date.
Something about the aged garlic produced a rather
bitter taste in the end. “I don’t really like it,” Desiree admitted after
sampling the garlic and pepper mix.
“So, don’t really want to use it for anything?” I
asked.
“I don’t think so.”
“Do you want me to throw it outside for the
critters?”
“Yes.”
“Now, that’s exactly the way I like my peppers!”
