Aw, Kevin, you beat me to it.

Hey, this is Monday. Isn't Monday my day to embarass newcomers?

All kidding aside, Erin, welcome to Spice Place. I hope you enjoy joining our little family. Don't be shy about posting. Just jump in on an existing thread, or start one (or six) of your own.

And please do tell us a little about yourself over in the Introductions thread. Where you live, the kind of foods you like to eat and like to cook, maybe a little about your family life if you wish.

Hi and welcome to the group.
Your idea of grilling them sounds great. I will def try it.

with a cheese mixture, dredges in flour, then egg, then commercial bread crumbs and deep fries them. They are mouthwateringly delicious

Wow, what a warm welcome! Thanks.

I actually spent yesterday afternoon pickling banana peppers using recipe #2 for this season. I have dozens more that will be ready to pick in a couple days and was wondering what to do with them...stuff, bread and fry sounds like a winner to me!

Okay, new question, though. I bought what I thought were 4 sweet banana pepper plants this spring. But when slicing them yesterday, I noticed that some had a much stronger smell to them...so I tasted one. Wow. It was not a sweet pepper, but had a bit of a kick to it. Since my kids picked them for me, I have no idea which came from which plants...is there a good way to tell them apart without tasting them?

Oh, and by the way, the w is the last initial...it's Erin; KYHeirloomer got it right!

Now if I can only figure out what you are trying to tell me about the introduction thing...good thing I can cook better than I can navigate on this big black machine in front of me!
