Macro Experiment & Skywatch Friday

This was a failed macro photo but as I looked at it, I realized I liked the effect of the stems against the lovely sky. Happy Sky Watch Friday everyone. I do have an entry for the macro flowers meme so come back a little later *wink.

What to Do With Red Peppers

I love red peppers. They are my favourite of the various peppers available. I like them both for their brilliant colour and for their taste. Normally I eat them in red pepper hummus, as canned grilled peppers and peppers roasted with meat or chopped up in salads.

The other day while doing my usual blog reading I happened on a simple recipe for Red Pepper Soup.  Anyone who has been reading my blog for awhile knows I only make simple and easy recipes.  If you would like to try it too, you can find the recipe at my blogging friend Lala's beautiful blog. You can get there by clicking here.

I didn't even wait for the soup to cool after I blended it because I made it for lunch and am in a bit of a rush today. It was still very nice warm and the rest has been saved for a refreshing cool soup later. Tip:  Make sure you peel off all the skins of the veggies or you will find some pieces in your blended soup.

Here it is garnished with freshly ground black pepper. I love freshly ground black pepper. I also added a dollop of plain yogurt before I ate it :-)
Enjoy!
