grilling peppers is quite simple.
Crank up the grill & throw them on.

turn & cook until BLACKENED!!
this should be easy for the guys

important step is getting them in a bag to let them steam.
put them in the bag & roll up the top – then you can
get preparing the other parts of your meal.

i started out with GREEN TOMATOES — but as you can clearly see
a couple of them ripened on me — I used them anyway

the eggs & flour concoction in the background –

often one faces the QUANDRY of knowing WHEN the oil
is HOT ENOUGH to do the frying.  I don’t do much frying
so this step often trips me up. Recently I read an article that said throw
a few corn kernels in the oil & when they pop, it’s ready.
Genius!!!
Of course many people use microwave popcorn but we don’t.
If you need to borrow a few kernels let me know –
I would be happy to share!
