*** SWEET PEPPER = PAPRIKA ***

The price of vegetables rises recently beacuse weather is bad. The photo is many SISITOU( = a variety of green pepper) harvested in this summer. My parents plant many vegetables every year. For example, It is a cucumber, a tomato, a mini-tomato etc. A SISITOU was the second challenge. Did you know a red color SISITOU. Surprisingly! the taste was sweet. A red color is fully-ripened SISITOU changed the name a paprika. Of course this is not right.

Thanks for the interesting blog and great picture Reiko. Personally, I love green, red, and yellow peppers and eat them often because I love salad. Usually, I don't even use dressing because the peppers have so much natural sweet flavor. Since I was a child, I always eat a big salad AFTER every meal. This is my style. Do you like vegetable? Do you eat salad often? Well, if you don't, you really should! Vegetables are the best, and very healthy!!

Ah, speaking of a vegatable, did you hear about the new watermelon diet? (yes, actually watermelon is techinically a vegetable, not a fruit! did you know that?) Yes, just like the infamous natto(fermented soy beans) and banana diet, there is now a new watermelon diet. So, for all those watermelon lovers out there, you better stock up on watermelon this weekend, because by next week all of the watermelon might be sold out!!
