Ciao Spice! Made the stuffed pepper tonight! We loved it! We live in the boondocks and have no specialty spice stores nearby, so I used cayenne pepper. We served it with plain yogurt and golden raisins–as they say in Italy–molto buono! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this post, Spice Jonez’n. Though we haven’t been formally introduced, I want to thank you for introducing the King of Ketchup to the glories of Turkish red pepper, and for procuring a few bags for him from your Turkish grocer (where exactly do you shop? Have car, will travel for Sumac!). Knowing how excited I get about unique ethnic spices, KofK recently gave me a bag of pepper and I’m very grateful. I cook a fair bit of Turkish cuisine at home, and this pepper is as good, if not better, than the one I bought in the Spice Market in Istanbul. So, thank you..and keep the recipes coming!

Esther,

No need to be scared, this link has some good pointers:

http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/Homecompost/

I use a large plastic storage container with a top that I have drilled holes into on all sides to provide enough air-flow and ventilation. This container works well in a small area, fire escape, small backyard, and also keeps out any unwanted guests.

Make sure when you start that you use a 50/50 mixture of brown and green material;
brown material= leaves, grass clippings, shredded newspaper
green materials= vegetable and fruit scraps

Start mixing it all together, add material as you produce it and mix occasionally and in a few months your compost pile should be ready to use in your garden.

Spice Jonze’n & NYC Food Guy,

My partners and I decided that we will be making this for our adopted, Asian daughters tonight!

My better half makes the best greek yogurt from “scratch” (wink wink!).

Spanks!
