Lessons learned:
- Purple potatoes just aren't quite as good in this dish as my adored Yukon Golds. But they're definitely fun.
- Purple peppers are just a tease.
- Sophie will not eat scrambled eggs. Ben will. One-for-two is a partial win in this game.
Even though I haven't really figured out how to use them, I can't seem to resist purple potatoes. They were at Earth Fare and no more expensive than the Yukon Golds. That was all I needed to know. While I was putting them in my cart, I remembered the purple peppers growing in my garden and got very excited:
Do you think I might have a condition? Maybe I'm just amazed that this color is actually found in nature:
The potatoes. Not the bowl. Yes, I use pink mixing bowls. And a pink spatula. My food processor is also pink. So are my dry goods canisters. I'm feeling very vulnerable right about now.
As I mentioned already, though, the peppers were just a big tease, which you find out as soon as you cut them open:
I dry-roasted them anyway, which completed my disappointment by eliminating ALL of the purple. What?
So maybe it wasn't a purple party. It was still a pretty decent weeknight meal.
