Well, I don't have a recipe for you today, but I couldn't resist sharing these beautiful purple peppers with you. I had never seen the likes of them before I spied them in my friend's garden. They're tiny, about the size of the tip of your thumb. They look benign, but one tiny bite and your face feels like it ceases to exist. But if used in small quantities they will flavor your dish wonderfully - just wear gloves. Trust me.

my friend ate one of these right off of the vine, and her lips were swelling immediately. Her mouth began burning, and caused her spit to turn pink. Before she took a bite out of the purple pepper, she was not aware that it was spicy, or even a food for that matter.

I bought purple peppers at a famer's market in Nashville while on vacation. I can't seem to find them in WA. It tasted like a sweet bell pepper. Is it really a bell pepper?
