“Sausage.” “Uh, what is the only way to get Chris to eat bell peppers Alex?” (Yes, we’ve been watching too much Jeopardy of late, but it’s the Teen Tournament, darn it!) Served over some penne, stuffed peppers were just what we were in need of tonight. A mostly healthy, entirely tasty, easy meal.

In addition to (and partly due to) being quite pregnant (“I’m not that big!”), Robin took quite a spill today on her way to pick our daughter up from school. She was so drenched when she and our son arrived in the lobby, several people fretted that her water had broken.

A slightly bruised bottom and ego do not prevent the preparation of tonight’s meal, which fed the whole family. The pasta on the menu also made it onto the kids plates, though they preferred their sauce plain.

It has been many years since Robin has attempted stuffed peppers. When we were vegetarians, she made Middle-Eastern inspired peppers, but tonight we go the Italian route. The stuffed peppers were so good that even a notorious pepper dis-liker such as Chris enjoyed the meal.
