So I cut a lobe off a yellow pepper and chopped that into something, and I had the rest of the pepper left. I also had some leftover rice I had made with some unused salsa that came with a Mexican dish I had DoorDashed to me one night.

Usually, peppers are green and are stuffed with meat and maybe a little rice, but #4 Daughter likes yellow peppers rather than green and my late husband, Charlie, couldn’t eat red meat so I got into the habit of just stuffing yellow peppers with flavor-packed rice and cheese.

Well, first you have to cook the pepper a little: rub it with oil, salt, and pepper, and broil it until the skin is dotted with black blisters, exactly how you do NOT want to look after a day in the sun. Then you cover the pepper with foil or a paper bag and let it sweat in there. Then the skin peels off, then you stuff the pepper.

This time, I had something called Fuego Monterey Jack, which is Monterey Jack with jalapenos chopped up in it. I mixed some into the rice, stuffed the pepper, and put a slice on top. Then I baked it at a moderate heat for about 20 minutes.

Looked like this:

Oh, my, it was good!
