First Pepper

This bad boy has been growing all summer.  I've learned that bell peppers take months to mature, apparently.  It finally ripened and turned red over the course of the last week.  I picked it Saturday and  am hopeful for more peppers.  However, none of the others are nearly this big.  I am optimistic though, because this one had an AMAZING flavor.  It was way better than anything I've had from the grocery store!  I eagerly sought an old recipe to use this in.  I've been revisiting past recipes, and updating the old ones with pictures as I remake them.  Yum.
