Merry Christmas, Stuffed Peppers and Darth Vader




Merry Christmas Everyone! I'm over here in Boston watching the temperature drop. But if you're this side of Las Vegas you're feeling it too. We have the tree all decorated and the garland over the fireplace. I think if I wasn't married I'd have a natty ice, can tree with left over pizza decorating my milk crate entertainment center. The whole neighborhood have their lights going and it looks cozy. If only the snow would come and go by the New Year. The other months of snow should stay on mountain tops and xmas movies.

Anyways, after you've eaten you holiday dinner and your joules are impacted with ham and cream filled cream puffs, I have an idea of what to do with your left overs. I got this idea during Thanksgiving, what I came up this Stuffed Peppers/Sheppard Pie mashup. To begin, take a Red bell pepper (sweet and good length), cut it length wise in 2 equal parts and hollow it out. Take whatever meat you have left over and mince it up or shred into small pieces. Fill half the pepper with the meat. Secondly take any vegetable you have and use them to fill in the last half of the pepper (squash, carrots and any other sweet tasting veg). Finally take some mashed potatoes and pack them on top of the veg. One half of the pepper is enough for one person if you can find a good sized pepper. Put the whole thing into the over at 325 degrees for 30min. Since most of the ingredients are already cooked, the pepper is the only thing that needs to be cooked. One last touch is to put some white cheese on everything, so tasty!

Finally I'm hear to show you my latest painting, "Reflections of the Sith Lord, Darth Vader." This painting deals with Vader reflecting on the vengeful events that lead to his metamorphosis. I haven't seen many depictions of this man thinking about his past mistakes and triumphs. Follow this link below to bid on this great painting.
