We picked up these beautiful sweet peppers at the farmer's market this morning. I'm not sure about the yellow one, but the others are a variety called "Lipstick Peppers". The color is so deep and rich, and the flavor is lovely.
I find the skin on peppers a little difficult to digest comfortably. So, with fresh peppers, I usually give the pepper a quick peel with a vegetable peeler. This lets me eat all the sweet peppers I like, without regret.

tapas for dinner in London
I've got to say that the food hear at Caesar Hotel, in London, is some of the best I've ever had at a hotel restaurant in the UK. Their take on the continental breakfast reaches new heights! Parma ham! Perfectly ripe pineapple crescents! Truly tasty!
For dinner, I've selected to settle into the bar which is empty at the moment. And I've ordered from their tapas menu, since I'd really prefer a light supper. It is all wonderfully tasty! My only complaint is that there are too few vegetables on the menu...and no olives! And the asparagus was a little overcooked (it should be bright green). But honestly, it's very yummy indeed.
And don't forget the staff...those I've interacted with have been very helpful and pleasant. I hope that the management appreciates the talent of the staff, as that's the key! After all my trips to London, this is the first time I've considered a repeat stay at a specific hotel.
