Perfectly Portable Pepper Phones

It looks like the end of our gardening season has arrived! Temperatures at night have been headed for the low thirties, so we figured it was time to go outside and pick the last of the produce before it got frozen.

This year we still had tons of bell peppers out on their plants.  Some of our peppers are HUGE! This one is about as big as Eli's head!


We picked at least a bushel of peppers! What do I do with all those peppers, you are asking yourself? Well, we cut them up and freeze them. Then I use them all winter when I made things like fajitas and pizza. They are also really good on salads if you let them thaw for a minute.


While we were checking out all the peppers, Jonah decided that some of the peppers were shaped like phones. Next thing you know he and Eli were running around with peppers up next to their ears, having conversations on their pepper phones!


Even Honey Daddy played along and placed a call on a pepper phone! Isn't he a sport to play along with the boys?


Wouldn't you like a have a pepper phone too?
