padrón peppers...

i'd never even heard of these until saturday...

i was on feedler...

bouncing from blog to blog...

bookmarking those that i found enjoyable...

and wanted to read on a regular basis.  

one of the blog posts i read was about padrons.  

i thought...

that sounds interesting...

then i left for the napa farmer's market...

thinking i'd get some fruit...

and a few photos.  

when the market closed...

i went into oxbox public market for lunch.  

i first stopped at the produce stand...

just to see what they had...

as they always have something 'different'.  

and there they were...

two bags of padron peppers.  

$13.99 a pound.  

i was immediately excited...

and began to spout the blog post i'd read to the clerk.  

i grabbed a handful...

and a couple of figs...

paid for my purchase...

and went off in search of lunch.  

while i ate...

i tried in vain to find the blog post again.  

i went into feedler...

trying to pull up everything i'd read that morning.  

nothing came up.  

it wasn't until i google padron peppers and blog...

that i found what i was looking for...

the best way to enjoy padron peppers...

and immediately book marked it...

and added the blog to my reader.  

i read the article again...

and as i was heading back to my car...

stopped back at the produce stand to purchase another handful...

just in case.  

today...

as an appetizer...

i had them.  

i enjoyed them...

but was slightly disappointed to have only one spicy pepper in the bunch.  
*only one of ten or so is spicy.  

next time...

i'll add a few jalapeno slices in...

for a little extra kick.
