Habaneros taste like apples? Guatemalan insanity apples maybe. (Lord, we thank Homer for his wisdom.)

Go update your blog, loser. I’m feeling guilty.

those are some tasty-looking habanero peppers.
(yes, habaneros are tasty – their taste resembles apples, at least until the insane heat kicks in, but if you ride that out, you get one hell of an endorphin rush as a reward. i highly recommend them.)
Fancy new blog skin, Ashe. I really like this color. All of your fall pics pop out nicely on it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A peck is an Imperial unit and U.S. customary unit of dry volume, equivalent in each of these systems to 8 dry quarts, or 16 dry pints. (Note that in the U.S. Customary system a dry measure is not the same as wet measure: for example, a dry pint is not the same as a wet pint. The imperial peck is different from the US Customary peck). Two pecks make a Kenning, and four pecks make a bushel.
The peck occurs in such phrases as “eat a peck of dirt before you die” or “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers”. Apples are still sold in baskets amounting to a peck in the United States, but the term “peck” is not commonly used.
You may also note that Gregory Peck was an American actor.
