A Peck of Patient Peppers

When I asked the folks from Serendipity Farms how it was that we have these beautiful, organically grown, Hungarian red peppers in January, the farmer that grew them told me that they simply finally have ripened. They were grown near the coast, and have been waiting all this time to get enough sun to finally ripen. Since there hasn't been a freeze along the coast, these peppers waited patiently to arrive at the market, and to my kitchen. Another fabulous day at the farmer's market! We are so lucky to live here...
