Ojai, July 23, 2014—
NOT MANY VEGETABLES do I prefer to these peppers, which I insist, pedantic that I am, on calling padrones, three syllables, not puhDRONES, two..(The word is Spanish, after all.)
We're crashing with friends here tonight. We start with delicious local organic pistachios with a fine local gin, go on to a perfect St. Andre, and then begin to think about dinner. I fried up the peppers in oil and salt, then sweated some onion rings in the same pan. Jim grilled hamburgers, using great ground beef from a local butcher. Llisa made a nice salad.
What more could we want? Oh — a popsicle made of nothing but tangerine juice. Local, of course.

Whenever we lunch at Cesar's, I have the peppers.
Three syllables.
Ratio of hot to bland, about 1-10.
3 parts Tanqueray 10
1 part Creme de Violette
wedge of lime to squeeze in
