Last night I tried some diced smoked red bell pepper in with some almonds
in some french cut green beans. I liked it so much I'm doing it again but
with the addition of some chopped saute button mushrooms. The red bell
pepper was easy to smoke and adds a nice smokey touch to most
anything...I'd rate it better than plain roasted red bell peppers.

Oh with the green beans I'll be having some slices of smoked pork
shoulder roast, with some apple butter bbq sauce on the side. I've never
smoked a pork shoulder roast before..but it can't be that different from
a pork butt roast. This will be my first taste of the shoulder roast I
smoked on the 1st.

Extras to round out my night at work....cottage cheese and 2 hard boiled
eggs.

Happy Birthday USA...best wishes

Russia and me will come over later and give you the bumps and a pinch to
grow an inch. -from Canada.

The smoked bell pepper are killer in a meatloaf and not bad used in a
salad either. A little soft & mushy but adds that nice smokey flavour.
(Almost bacon-like).

Might be nice in a corn side-dish, low carbing I'll never know. Kinda
like that mexicana canned corn only wayyy better.

I was thinking they might be nice in a slaw possibly with pulled pork but
the smokeyness of the two together might be too much of a good thing.

This week-end I'm going to smoke some sweet onion slices on a different
rack, when I do some chicken pieces...just a idea. Smoked caramelized
onions...sounds too good to be true, so it will probably suck.

Smoked onions........what a great idea! I think I'm going to give that a
try this weekend.
