And don't use rice. ICK. now, now...whilst bell peppers don't have the heat, they *are* a Fruit of El Grande and we should not be cursing them lest we bring the wrath of El Grande upon us, and since spring be just around da corner, folks, i surely don't want the Big Burrito flingin' down pestilence and wicked hungry locust on my arse, much less my garden...nonetheless, i admit i also find them, particularly green bells, to be the most frequent bitter-tasting ones, but let them lie about in a nice dark cold room for a while, and they often redden up...and then you roast those babies...now roasted peppers, well, imo, that be a good thing...roasted red pepper hummus be deeee-lish...roasted pepper and garlic chive couscous, oh yeaaaa....grilled roasted pepper/monterey jack cheese (or habanero jack) sammich with some tomato soup (can you say comfort food? yes, yes you can)...boil some crookneck squash, sautee some onions, throw it all together into a blender with some roasted peppers, season to your desire (nutmeg is mandatory, imo), and baby, that's some mighty damn fine roasted pepper/squash soup...add some roasted bells to your next batch of salsa...or just roast 'em, smoke some jalapenos (or whatyouwill...), puree it all up and sauce up some grilled pork loin/chops/parts...it's even pretty good in a game of Name That Lubricant Twister, indeed... ahem... well, it be good, regardless...
