Singing the Praises of Capsicum (Hot and Fiery Peppers)
My late mother had a cabinet full of all kinds of herbs and spices in her kitchen. Cayenne pepper was always on her shelf. There were many of us living at home when I was growing up — mom and dad, my brothers, my one sister, and me. With so many varying taste buds to please, my mom didn’t use red pepper to cook with; however, if any of us wanted to sprinkle it on our food to add that extra heat, we were permitted. If there were fresh red peppers we could slice them up and put them in our food.

Peas or Beans and Rice is a Comfort Food Many Equate With Heritage and Home
I'm American, of Bahamian descent, and my family loved Bahamian style pigeon peas and rice. There is a variation of this rice dish practically all over the Caribbean. That's why I emphasized the “Bahamian style”. My father was a Bahamian. My mom was American, but she learned how to cook this dish for him and I grew up eating it at least 2-3 days during the week, and for sure it was served as a part of our large Sunday dinners. Other than a bay leaf I can't recall all of the herbs and spices she used in her recipe. Honestly, I don't think she ever made it the same way twice. When I grew up and got married, my late husband who was also from the Bahamas showed me all kinds of ways to vary the recipe. He did not like to use a bay leaf and preferred dried thyme leaves. In addition, he loved sampling all kinds of peas-n-rice or beans-n-rice recipes. The pigeon peas and rice dish is just one of them and I learned how to cook all of the recipes.
