Thanks for sharing your family history! I love how it shows the way plants link us not only to the earth, but also to each other and our pasts. This is a beautiful, touching story.

Anne...My wife's family cooks them just like in the story, on the stove in a little olive oil and garlic powder over medium heat. I often take them outside, toss them in one of those throw away alum. pans and cook them on the grill, turning them quite often. Either way, it takes a while for them to cook. When they are finished, we bring them to the table in a large bowl. All you do is grab one by the stem and eat it, skin, seeds and all. They are incredible peppers. They look kinda like an Anaheim pepper or one of those hot peppers they grow down in New Mexico, but these are really sweet. I've never tasted anything like them. Richard....I looked for pictures and couldn't find any. I will be growing them again next summer and I told Elizabeth that I would be sure and take some and post them here.
