A Saturday recap
Cheryl
smelled smoke, but with neighbors with fireplaces, that isn't normally
unusual. But there was a distinct haze down the road. An hour later I
saw firetrucks going by with sirens blaring. There have been many
fires here, and the news of my county says all firefighters are on call
24/7 for only the second time ever. very high winds but luckily no damage.
Got a call from a collector, second call, looking for my ex. He's never
lived in this house and we've been divorced almost 20 years. The caller
was very intimidating. I can only hope they don't try to contact my
employer since they have my name. I called them back and said I have
nothing to do with him, but it was said to voice mail.
I made a nice dish of stuffed peppers and froze them individually for
later meals. This time I added onion and celery. Then I made up a beer
batter for tomorrow to do some shrimp, green beans and onions.
Still a bit wigged out about the collector call but trying to calm down.
If something an ex of 20 years can affect me now, I'd advise everyone
to never get married.

I wonder if he somehow gave your phone number or address or something?
Hmmm...
I once had a really bad roommate. I wound up suing her for rent money. She
owed about $800 but I only got about $80 (via garnishing of wages) and that
went to the landlord. He sued her too, for check fraud. She somehow too
some of my canceled checks (in those days the bank sent them back to you)
and used the numbers off of the back of them. I can't remember the
particulars now because it has been about 30 years. I think she made
photocopies or something with the fronts of her checks and the backs of
mine. Trying to show that she had sent the landlord the checks and he
cashed them. Little did she know that some of those numbers on the back led
directly to my bank. She banked at a different place. Anyway... Not long
after she left, all sorts of creditors called for her. I knew were she was
only for a little while. She kept moving and switching jobs so we couldn't
catch up with her.
Just curious... Have you ever made stuffed peppers with chicken breast?
Daughter really loves the concept of stuffed peppers but doesn't like ground
beef, which is what I usually put in mine. I have made them with just beans
and rice too, but she's not overly fond of the effects that beans have on
her. Oddly she doesn't like peppers either. Both she and my husband will
eat only the stuffing. But they also want the stuffing *in* the pepper. I
guess they like the flavor the pepper adds but don't like the texture of the
pepper or something. She will eat raw peppers.
She asked me if I could make the peppers with chicken. I figured I probably
could. FIL would not eat rice, but he always had tons of peppers because he
grew them. For him I made them stuffed with mashed potatoes and cheese and
also your typical turkey type stuffing with bread. I served these as a side
dish.
I looked online and did see some recipes that use chopped cooked chicken
breast and then the rest of what I would normally put in if I were making
the beef ones. Such as rice and tomatoes. Or I have seen recipes with rice
and chicken gravy.
Just wondering if these would be as good as the beef ones. Obviously I
would probably be prejudiced because I am not a fan of chicken. But I'd
like to hear from someone who has tried these before I made them.

I learned that from my friends mistakes. Never married, no kids, happily
single.
Fried chicken, rice and a salad. Rice was USA grown, hope no plastic in it.

You could try different types of peppers. Some people only eat red
bell peppers, not green. Also various chile pepper varieties (Anaheim,
poblano...) are commonly stuffed. People stuff them with things
like finely chopped pine nuts and carrots and wild rice. Also the
Spanish stuff piquillo peppers with a sort of tuna salad.

My friend told me some chef told her never to use green peppers because they
don't taste good when stuff. Green was what I grew up on. Daughter likes
me to get all different colors. Red, yellow, orange and green.
FIL grew Italianelles. I know they are not typically stuffing peppers but I
wanted to do something with them because there were so many. We can't get
those here. I was told we might have Cubanelles which are similar. I don't
think I've ever looked for them.
One of my favorite recipes is for a stuffed Anaheim. It's served raw. I
can't remember all of the ingredients now but there is cheese and Jalapenos.
But the last time I made it I got these really lame Jalapenos. No heat to
them at all. I was making them for the men in my family who find that there
is nothing in this world that is hot enough for them.

If you haven't done it before, there's that legal thing you do by
publishing in a newspaper that you're not responsible for his debts
etc. You can get free legal advice about it, or maybe the internet
can help you. DO IT and then you can tell all future collectors where
they can shove it.
My son's nickname was the same as ex-wife's name. He didn't publish
that he wasn't responsible for her debts immediately after they broke
up so she was able to cause him a lot of problems She ruined his
credit rating by opening up accounts in his name, ran up big bills and
then defaulted on them, so he was held responsible.

Publishing a notice in the newspaper isn't a guarantee of anything. Having
signed divorce papers with property settlement and division of debt clearly
laid out is better.
I was hounded about my ex-husband's debts for a while. All I had to do was
send the creditors copies of the property settlement in the divorce decree
and that was the end of the phone calls. He still managed to ruin my credit
for a couple of years but they finally got it sorted out.
OB Food: My mother always made stuffed peppers with green bell peppers,
ground beef, rice. I never cared for them. But I do like jalapeno poppers!
I had an idea for making crab-stuffed jalapeno poppers. Blend some crab
meat with the cream cheese, then bread and deep fry them. I never tried
this myself but it still sounds tasty :)

I wonder, since crab has such a subtle flavor on its own. It would be
great or a waste of crab. I'd use broiled lobster bits if I tried the
experiment. I do love jalapeno poppers and could eat thirty of them if I
wasn't paying.

Ah, yes. Very unsettling. Kind-of relatedly, I was married when
I was quite young. My daughter was born over 20 years after I was
divorced (legally, in Court, in Massachusetts). Even later when I
wanted to get a copy of my daughter's birth certificate, I was
stunned to see that their was a problem with the birth certificate
and the assumption was that this ex-husband, long out of the
picture, was the presumed father!

Good point, but lobster doesn't have that much more flavour than crab. Just
my opinion, of course. For an experiment I'd probably buy fake crab. It's
pollock tinted to look like crab. I think the cream cheese costs more than
the fake crab. I'd also use Neufchatel, which is also cheaper than cream
cheese. The two are virtually indistinguishable.

If you've ever had the hot crab dip made with cream cheese you'll know
what the stuffing with crab will taste like. The flavor holds up
well, but with the
jalapeno it will be different. Still sounds good to me!!

If you want to protect yourself go to the FTC (or it may be the FCC) web
site and file a complaint against the company who called. That stops
them in their tracks immediately. What they are doing is illegal.

I have read somewhere, that it is very rare for couples that do not consume

Or do you threaten and scream with bodily harm of spouse if they thought of

I only recently discovered that I like these. I've never liked peppers
but I'm thinking it was because I never had them cooked, only raw. Too
strong tasting. Then if I had something cooked with peppers in it, I'd
eat around them.
I think peppers stuffed with chicken and rice sounds good!

I don't see any direct cause and effect relationship. My wife and I both
drink and we have been married for almost 38 years. All three of my
brothers drink and none of them have been divorced either.
Interesting court decision in Canada this week about spousal support for
common law marriages breaking down. I ave enough trouble with the idea
of alimony in this day and age when women are all out in the work force.
AFAIAC just because a man has supported a woman during their marriage
realationship should not mean that he is obligated to support her after
their relationships ends. End of the relationship should mean end of
support. However, that's not how things are, but as for common law
relationships..... seems to me that by entering a common law
relationship rather than getting married should mean there is no post
relationship support. There is no commitment accept, so no support
expected.
Jut my two cents worth. I am sure that the women and michel will disagree.

We have a prenuptial agreement, which actually hold far more weight in
Ontario then they do in many other North American jurisdictions. About the
only you cannot put into a pre-nup is children. Children and divorce is
strictly through family law and courts.
In our prenup divisions of pensions, tax shelters, possible inheritances,
savings accounts, illnesses, home equity, health insurance and drug plans
etc are all accounted for. Groundwork for arbitration, negoting and
mediation are already laid out in the prenup. 21 pages of legal that
multiple lawyers drafted and advised my wife and I independently. in other
words we used separate lawyers to draft. as reasonable people should.
We entered this agreement 1 week before purchasing our first home. Cost of
prenup is about $1200. Cost of our first home was $400 000. You are
gonna pay for lawyers in your home purchases so why not add a little more
and get the pre-nup done before your first house purchase. It's like life
insurance. You pay for insurance and hope that you NEVER EVER have to file
a claim. That's what a prenup is.

Common law couple should have a co-habitation agreement, which is a prenup
for unmarried couples. Costs about $700 to do here in Ontario.
For example if you and your common-law wife co-own a $500 000 house and your
wife dies, her share of that house does NOT go to you, but to her blood
relatives UNLESS it's spelled out in a co-habitation or last will and
testament agreement.

Best would have been to never call them back. They do not *care* that you
divorced him 20 years ago. They will try to convince you that you owe for
his bills. You do not. Ignoire them. They can't do *anything* but may
threaten you to make you *think* they can.
Believe me, I even got a set that tried to come after me when our not at all
regretted renters left town 1,800$ behind in rent and 50,000$ house damage.
Their creditors hounded us until we took legal action at last. This after
having already called 911 when they bootjacked my car in my driveway (that
fellow went to jail for 2 days as it was not remotely the same color or
model. Nissan 4 door sedan here, *ford Truck* on their case he was supposed
to be recovering).

Oh I think they taste good and I told her so! Green peppers were the only

He didn't do that for years (denial etc), but was able to stop that
nonsense after filling out the proper legal paperwork about not being
responsible for her debts and publishing it is part of the process.

The thing about using the red that I find here is that they are long. I
agree that green peppers have the perfect shape to just remove the top
and stuff it, but I like the milder taste of the red bells, so I slice
them in half lengthwise and stuff them that way.

Stuffed peppers are sold at the butcher counter now.

You need to like peppers first. The other thing for me, is they

I never precook mine.

I never cared much for cooked sweet peppers, the stuffing in them is
often nice but the peppers don't seem to add much imo, however, i am
very fond of the chilli rellanos. Poblano peppers filled with cheese,
dipped in egg batter and lightly fried.

I love peppers, cooked or raw. I just don't like the really hot ones.

Well, there's too many people in the world. We need more people with
your attitude. Still, if your parents had never gotten together, where
would you be now?

And I don't know Cheryl's history, but I know she loved her son dearly,
and perhaps if she hadn't gotten together with her ex, he wouldn't have
been born?

I think there are too many people having kids who shouldn't (they're
terrible parents), so my hat is off to those who don't have them. I'm
old fashioned with it comes to the issue of marriage and kids, so I
don't respect those who have kids but live together and don't bother
to marry.

The red bell peppers tend to be bigger as they've been grown
to ripeness. If you stuff some of those you could feed four
people, yikes. I have cut them in half and stuff them that way.

I usually grow my own peppers. I have to pick them when they are quite
small because if I don't, some animal takes bites out of them. They are a
cute little size and very thin skinned and tender. I didn't grow a thing
last year except for some onions that must have been lurking in the soil
from before and some parsley that keeps reseeding itself. Our weather has
just been sooo wacky and it was so chilly last year for most of the summer.
I doubt I could have grown anything if I tried. My fried who lives in
another city somewhat near here fared better. She did get some things to
harvest. But the guy next door did try a garden and got nothing. So I'm
kind of glad that I didn't bother.

Suggestion, grow some habaneros in a border around your bells. The
critter that takes a bite out of them, if it's a mammal, may lose
interest in peppers.

I don't know if it's true for habaneros and bells, since they are
different kinds of capsicum, but generally it isn't advised to plant
peppers close together because they tend to cross pollinate, and that
mild pepper you planted might end up too hot to eat, and the hot pepper
might end up mild.

How annoying.
> They are a cute little size and very thin skinned and tender.
I tried bell peppers last year. I got a couple of adorable little
green ones that started to turn red, so I figured they weren't
going to get much bigger. I never had any luck with Italian
peppers, either.
A bell pepper not as big as 2 golf balls isn't all that useful.
Chomp. That was good. Heh.

It's disturbing to do all that work for nothing. It was *so* freaking
hot and dry last year, I'm amazed anything survived. But I got
astonishing numbers of Napa grape tomatoes and a gazillion
cucumbers and a bunch of regular tomatoes. I'm so not complaining.

Interesting! That could be. I usually put my hot ones in another box. I
did get some interesting tomatoes one year after they reseeded themselves.

Peppers and tomatoes are self-pollinating. I think you have to work
at it to cross pollinate.

I was under the impression that this only occurred in the next
generation--if you're saving seeds then you could end up with hot
peppers that look sweet and possibly vice versa but it won't be a
problem until you plant those seeds. Have I been misinformed?
