Here a pepper, there a pepper…

It’s that time when all the Summer fruit is in abundance. Now what the heck do you do with it all? There are only so many ways to stuff a pepper before they all start to taste the same.

When trying to figure out what to do with my peppers I happened across the Pacific Coast Farmer’s Market web database of recipes and found you could look up by seasonal ingredient, type of dish or type of cuisine. No ads and easy printing as opposed to other recipe sites.

I opted for the grilled bell peppers since I had garlic chives, rosemary and peppers. The only thing I didn’t grow was the olive oil. There is something so satisfying about using everything you grew yourself for a recipe even if it’s a simple one (something that rarely happens for me)!

Doesn’t it kinda look like Christmasy? 🙂

Google drive forms

I’ve posted before about Google docs (now called Google drive) but I had to post again because they sure have made my life so much easier!

Doing web forms from scratch can be a time consuming process to make and with Google’s easy form creation tool you can have a working feedback form that collects data in a spreadsheet in a matter of minutes for free!

The draw back is you don’t have a lot of control over the placement of some of the fields. For example if you want to make your form two column you have to get back into trying to do some code hacks so you might as well do another method than Google forms.

You can however control the width of the form that you can then embed in your web page. What I have done here is dress it up with one of my photos. This helps make the web page not so boring with a static form. Make a form and assign it the width of half the page and then drop an image behind either in a table background or as a background DIV tag and you’re done!
