Hot Peppers from their Garden

 Earlier in October, my neighbour brought over these peppers from his garden with a warning they are a bit hot, maybe not as hot as the smaller chili peppers but to be careful.  It is always fun when they bring vegetables over.  Google lens says they are green Cubanelle peppers. But they do have a slight heat unlike cubanelles.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - 'November Rain' art theme and Home Baked Fries

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'November Rain' theme! Here is my ACEO (2 1/2' x 3 1/2") acrylic on canvas.

 

 For the dinner date, my sister gave me this recipe from one of her cookbooks for home baked fries.

Peel the potatoes, leave a few strips of skin on. Cut into 1/3" strips, sit in cold lightly salted water for 1 hour.

Drain potatoes, dry well on kitchen towels.  I used paper towels. Spray baking sheet with floured cooking spray, you can find Pam baking no-stick cooking spray.  Do not use parchment paper.  I didn't use the floured spray and my fries stuck to the tray.  You could probably just lightly oil and flour the pan if you don't have cooking spray.

Place the dried potatoes on the sprayed and floured baking sheet.  Season with olive oil, salt (maybe 1/4 tsp), pepper and herbs.  Bake at 400F for 40-50 min. Rotate the pan halfway through baking, stir the potatoes occasionally.  Done when golden brown.
