Stuffed Green Pepper

Dinner on September 12.

I got tons of green pepper and I decided to make stuffed green peppers. As I added some vegetables; carrots, onions, cones and eggplants, ground beef for only one hamburger was good enought to make 6 of stuffled peppers. I should have seasoned a bit more, but green pepper was very jucy and tasted good.

Lunch at Tartine on September 12.

I have been hungry for good sandwich since last sunday. I heard a good reputation from my co-workers about  a French Cafe in west end and I tried it today.
