I only recently discovered that I like these. I've never liked peppers
but I'm thinking it was because I never had them cooked, only raw. Too
strong tasting. Then if I had something cooked with peppers in it, I'd
eat around them.

I think peppers stuffed with chicken and rice sounds good!

I guess it depends on your area. Stuffed peppers come in all colors
here, but red seems to be the one I notice most.

It's been a very windy day here. At one point I went outside and I
smelled smoke, but with neighbors with fireplaces, that isn't normally
unusual. But there was a distinct haze down the road. An hour later I
saw firetrucks going by with sirens blaring. There have been many
fires here, and the news of my county says all firefighters are on call
24/7 for only the second time ever. very high winds but luckily no damage.

Got a call from a collector, second call, looking for my ex. He's never
lived in this house and we've been divorced almost 20 years. The caller
was very intimidating. I can only hope they don't try to contact my
employer since they have my name. I called them back and said I have
nothing to do with him, but it was said to voice mail.

I made a nice dish of stuffed peppers and froze them individually for
later meals. This time I added onion and celery. Then I made up a beer
batter for tomorrow to do some shrimp, green beans and onions.

Still a bit wigged out about the collector call but trying to calm down.
If something an ex of 20 years can affect me now, I'd advise everyone
to never get married.

I wonder if he somehow gave your phone number or address or something?
Hmmm...

I once had a really bad roommate. I wound up suing her for rent money. She
owed about $800 but I only got about $80 (via garnishing of wages) and that
went to the landlord. He sued her too, for check fraud. She somehow too
some of my canceled checks (in those days the bank sent them back to you)
and used the numbers off of the back of them. I can't remember the
particulars now because it has been about 30 years. I think she made
photocopies or something with the fronts of her checks and the backs of
mine. Trying to show that she had sent the landlord the checks and he
cashed them. Little did she know that some of those numbers on the back led
directly to my bank. She banked at a different place. Anyway... Not long
after she left, all sorts of creditors called for her. I knew were she was
only for a little while. She kept moving and switching jobs so we couldn't
catch up with her.

Just curious... Have you ever made stuffed peppers with chicken breast?
Daughter really loves the concept of stuffed peppers but doesn't like ground
beef, which is what I usually put in mine. I have made them with just beans
and rice too, but she's not overly fond of the effects that beans have on
her. Oddly she doesn't like peppers either. Both she and my husband will
eat only the stuffing. But they also want the stuffing *in* the pepper. I
guess they like the flavor the pepper adds but don't like the texture of the
pepper or something. She will eat raw peppers.

She asked me if I could make the peppers with chicken. I figured I probably
could. FIL would not eat rice, but he always had tons of peppers because he
grew them. For him I made them stuffed with mashed potatoes and cheese and
also your typical turkey type stuffing with bread. I served these as a side
dish.

I looked online and did see some recipes that use chopped cooked chicken
breast and then the rest of what I would normally put in if I were making
the beef ones. Such as rice and tomatoes. Or I have seen recipes with rice
and chicken gravy.

Just wondering if these would be as good as the beef ones. Obviously I
would probably be prejudiced because I am not a fan of chicken. But I'd
like to hear from someone who has tried these before I made them.

I don't see any direct cause and effect relationship. My wife and I both
drink and we have been married for almost 38 years. All three of my
brothers drink and none of them have been divorced either.



Interesting court decision in Canada this week about spousal support for
common law marriages breaking down. I ave enough trouble with the idea
of alimony in this day and age when women are all out in the work force.
AFAIAC just because a man has supported a woman during their marriage
realationship should not mean that he is obligated to support her after
their relationships ends. End of the relationship should mean end of
support. However, that's not how things are, but as for common law
relationships..... seems to me that by entering a common law
relationship rather than getting married should mean there is no post
relationship support. There is no commitment accept, so no support
expected.
Jut my two cents worth. I am sure that the women and michel will disagree.

Over the years I have been fed stuffed green peppers on many occasions.
I never bothered to try making them myself because I never liked them.
 
not sure where you live, but you need to find out what the laws on this are,
i think you can insist on a mailing adress if they call again, then send a
certified letter, say you have NO connection with him and if they contact
you or anyone that can impact you you will seek legal advice to deal with
it further, again check your laws, Lee

Fried chicken, rice and a salad. Rice was USA grown, hope no plastic in it.

Personally, I think drinking is the key to a happy marriage. My marriage
went south only after I had quit drinking; drinking is what made it
bearable. 8-)
