I would love to find a place local to get my hands on a variety like that, to smoke, and grind for spice rub.

Don't you love the odd shapes you get from home grown peppers? For the life of me, I don't know, or care, how commercial growers get them so perfect.

We lost all of our lettuce and most of the 
's flowers to the deer. Should be some venison in the freezer this year.

Sorry to hear myquestoyota! But given the choice I'd like to have venison in the freezer and go to the store for lettuce and flowers

The lettuce was a for sure, the venison is a maybe. They vanish during the season.
I get it...as once upon a time I had 40-acres of remote access woods in eastern Nebraska and the neighboring farmer's corn fields suffered deerly 
from the 125+ head of hungry white tail. A guy's gotta due what a guy's gotta due...for their neighbors Oh boy I can still remember how wonderful that corn fed young deer ate. The liver ate better than most retail beef cuts one gets today at the mass merchants...

Made some poppers last night with jalapenos, onions, and garlic from the garden. And roasted some corn beside them along with some black rockfish I caught.
Probably mentioned this here/elsewhere but for those that like gazpacho: Tyler Florence's watermelon gazpacho recipe gets made here almost weekly each summer when watermelon and tomatoes are at their peak flavor.
And outside of baking a cake this is one of the few recipes where I actually measure the ingredients. I've winged it a few times...but the ratio of tomato/cucumber/watermelon via the recipe is important; YMMV.
Simple as simple gets too!
1 large tomato, pureed
1/2 serrano chile (the only mod to this recipe I've done that we thought actually made it better: Swap the serrano for 1/2 smoked habanero)
2 cups cubed fresh watermelon
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1/2 cucumber, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
In a blender, puree the tomatoes, chile, and 1/2 of the watermelon. Pour in the red wine vinegar and olive oil and pulse. Add the onion, cucumber and dill and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. Pour into chilled bowls and sprinkle with dill, feta, and remaining watermelon. Serve.

I think this is our last harvest. 50lb.er

I wasn't too excited for deer season this year, but now I think we'll have to try and limit on our hunt in late December. Deer sticks, venison sausage, venison chorizo, venison chili, venison stroganoff!
