'Funny' Story

Once upon a time a husband brought home some little green peppers for his wife. The wife knew they were jalepeno peppers so they sat on the counter for a few days because she didn't know what to do with them. One day the husband told her - "those are bell peppers"

No, they sure didn't look like bell peppers. They looked like jalepenos.

They argued back a forth a little and then the wife finally conceded that maybe they were a different strand of bell peppers... since her husband brought them home, he should know!

The day came when the wife had so many tomatoes, and too much salsa already, so she decided to make spagetti sauce. She found a recipe and had all the ingredients on hand so went to town processing the tomatoes and adding all the spices. The recipe called for a bit of sweet red pepper, which she had. And why not add some green bell pepper too?

So she chopped up the peppers and cooked down the sauce. It finally came time for the taste test - it sure looked and smelled good!

HOT! Spicy spagetti sauce? She wondered what spice would make it so spicy. Oregano? Certainly not basil. Hmmmm, well she added a little sugar. Still spicy. She was pretty certain her daughter would not eat this sauce. Bummer. This was a lot of work!

Well the sauce was bagged up and put in the freezer, since all the canning jars were full of the million apples her husband also brought her.

A short time later the wife noticed her hand starting to burn. The feeling intensified and she immediately knew: those WERE jalepeno peppers!!!

Anyone want to come over for spagetti?
