Canning Jar Lid Idea

I never dreamed I would ever use canning jar lids for anything but canning.
We all need a little fall pumpkin!

Giant Marconi Peppers

This is the first year we have grown these peppers. You can see from the picture how large they are. The bell pepper beside the Marconi is very large in itself.

I plan on throwing together a spanish rice and chicken stuffing for them this evening. I will try to post what I come up with later.
