    In the Mexican Cuisine we call it picadillo 😋😋 What we do to stretch the meat (after we add chopped onions, peppers now zucchini 😛 etc) is cut raw potatoes in little squares add them after browning the meat , and add some salsa let it simmer to finish cooking the potatoes 🥔!! Robbie, now I want tacos 🌮🤗🦋😋

    In TX here. Our grocery stores have large bags of dried chiles, and I sprouted some of those seeds! Wrapped in a paper towel with purified water & a bit of hydrogen peroxide, folded up, and placed in a ziploc in a kitchen drawer. It took a week, but they grew tails! Isn't that exciting? I have SO many seeds left, I'd be happy to send you some! Peppers grow so well here. We've made a lot of jalapeno poppers stuffed with cream cheese & wrapped in bacon and cooked on the grill. You could probably bake them, if you wanted. I really like the way you cook with produce you grow yourself. We're swimming in cucumbers and peppers, any recipes for that? Some cherry tomatoes, but those don't last long enough around here. ha ha! My ginger & turmeric is growing nicely, the okra is coming up, and my cannas have huge leaves, did you know those are edible, too? I saw a squirrel during a drought period tear off a canna stem, rip it open, and start nibbling. It was the most amazing thing to see. I have yet to beat the squash borers, but I'll plant squash again later in the season. My collards were stripped bare, too. Sorry for the book, guess I had a bit to say. DM me for seeds, if you want. I should do a tour and a video, but I don't think I'd be as good on the camera as you are! It's like visiting a friend!

I love hearing the excitement from other people, and there is always so much to learn. ❤

      I have cannas, but I don't think they are edible. I've never seen any squirrel try to eat mine. My dad and my uncle 2nd wife made stuff jalapeños within the bacon in the oven. However, I saw them with and without bacon cook in oven. I personally haven't tried any. Not my cup of tea, to spicy for my liking. I wonder if you could do this with smaller sweet peppers like lunchbox pepper, sweet jalapeños or violet sparkle pepper? If they would be good.

Stored in the fridge in wide mouth pint Mason jars, it is all ready to go in my homemade soup, chili, spaghetti, or just warmed on a slice of really good bread (an unburger) to go with my salad for supper.

    Wanted to mention that black olives are actually dyed green olives 🫒, which is why different brands have different flavors. Early California makes a non-dyed type, Simply Green. It’s a little pricey but delicious!

    I love the patty pan squash. I got 2 plants growing this season. They are slower grower than the regular zucchini but very tasty. I cut them into strips and stir fry with ground beef, oyster sauce and a few dash of brown cooking soy sauce and add a few slices of Serrano pepper. Serve with steaming white rice. Maggi soy sauce on the rice.

And it seems like it could be the name of a lot of different plants. Could you tell me what yours is? You said it doesn't have seeds is it one of those cucumbers with no seeds or is it something else? What type of flavor does it have? I live in North Florida in dealing with a lot of heat and humidity so I'm always looking for something to grow that would be happy here, so any info on your pepino would be appreciated.
