My Jelly Belly Jalapenos!! :)

// November 23rd, 2008 // .BLOG, 101 goals - Achieving a Better Life, Did I just admit that?, My pathetic heart, When I should have gone to sleep instead of writing this post, Why my parents should be proud of me, Yes I AM a nerd... well ... I'm nerd-ISH

Davide rocks like no other.  He just made the number ONE spot on my top 10 favorite people for the day.  First he agreed to take over the care of my plant while I’m on holiday in the U.S. and second he sent pics of my plant so I could see that it’s thriving without me!!!  I thanked him OF COURSE - with another lovely late at night email - after I hit “send” I was like - oh my gosh I just compared my plant to a beloved farm animal and said I didn’t have the heart to eat it.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??  Anyway - I surprised myself AGAIN.  And you will find the evidence below.  But for real - there is no way I can eat those jalapeños now.

To Dd:

Ah babe you are the best!!!  Thank you so much!!  It looks BEAUTIFUL!  And can you believe all of those little jalapeño babies?  I grew the plant so I could eat them but I don’t know if I’ll be able to now - that’s like eating your favorite cow Dotty with the cute ivory heart-shaped patch over her left eye or slaughtering your favorite pig Pudgie who oinks in delight every time she sees you.  I mean I know people eat their beloved farm animals all of the time but come on - how can you eat something you have named??  I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

Oh well - I can buy the peppers in the store and just not eat the ones I grew.  Thank you again!  XXXXXX ~Daisy

For those of you who are new to the blog - this is what it looked like the day I planted it.  Aw!  It’s grown so big!  I’m so proud.
