At least I know what to make when The Queen comes for dinner.

My wonderful son Devin.
So sweet.
So handsome.
So smart.
Such a goofball….

Last night I made stuffed bell peppers for dinner. They’re fairly quick and easy, plus red bell peppers were on sale for 19 cents each this week and I had plenty to use up.

Due to a meeting, Handsome Hubby couldn’t be home for dinner so I thought I’d make it a bit easier on myself and let the kids grab their peppers, buffet style. As he was dishing up his dinner, this was the conversation I had with Devin:

Dev: “Are we having kind of an informal dinner?”
Me: “Yep, just grab yours and make a space at the table.” (Note: I’ve got craft supplies all over one side of the table.)
Dev: “Well, this just seems like a pretty formal meal for a night like this.”
Me: “Stuffed peppers…?”
Dev: “Yes. They’re kind of formal… Kind of fancy… Like something you’d eat if you sat down with the President… Or someone British.”

Pip pip and cheerio. My kids never fail to crack me up.

    Well I could have come over because as I tell my coffee group all the time, I am the Lizard Queen. (picture royal wave here)
    Are you serious? 19 cents a pepper. We pay $3.69 per kilo which is about $1.69 per pound. Orange and yellow ones are about $3.99 per kilo.

    I hate to break it to you Viv…but I’m going to have to side with Devin on this one. I think stuffed peppers are kind of fancy.
