SUMMARY:Pepper Day September 18
DESCRIPTION:This Friday is Pepper Day!  While the selection isn’t quite as extensive as our tomato tasting\, it’s a great way to taste lots of sweet and hot peppers. Don’t worry\, we’ll label the hot ones!  We’ll have water\, but if you plan to eat lots of hot ones\, bring your own milk or cheese.  Dairy quenches the heat\, water can just spread it around.
