Day 212: Roasting Peppers

So my kid sis Jennifer is in town for the week for work. She's an analyst at Paramount Pictures. When she comes to town she stays with one of several different family members. With the college boy Brandon away we have an extra room so I always beg her to stay with the crazy Simon's.

So tonight in her honor I decided to make tacos with all the fixings. Fresh cilantro, tomatoes, guacamole... I picked the boys up at 4 from baseball practice and we made the almost hour drive home (damn that LA traffic). We unload the groceries and I tell the boys to try the guacamole and salsa. Spencer and I dig in to taste the samplings.

Only my Harrison would go to the refrigerator, pull out peppers and start slicing them, drizzling them with olive oil and seasoning ... then he proceeds to roast them in the oven! Who the heck roasts peppers at 15 years old (or at any age!) for an after-school snack.

Gotta love my budding chef!
