Drysdale's Home Run Stuffed Peppers

Julia and I went to Detroit's Eastern market today to get fresh green peppers for this recipe. Pretty straight forward, ground beef, rice, tomato sauce. I tried to make stuffed peppers last summer and they didn't turn out so well. I am hopeful that with Alice's help these will be better. Otherwise, it would be strike two for me. Alice had me parboil (although she didn't call it that) the peppers first and that made all the difference. Delicious.

Episode Note: "The Dropout" [I told you lots of sports celebrities visited the Brady house] Mike is designing a new house for LA Dodgers great Don Drysdale (3 bedrooms, 2 baths, no toilets), and asks him to stop by 4222 Clinton Avenue to throw a few balls around with Greg. When Drysdale gives him a compliment on his pitching, it sends Greg over the moon. He decides to forego all else to pursue a career in baseball, including dropping out of school. Concerned, Mike and Carol get Don to come back and tell Greg of the seamy side of America's pastime (apparently, it's not all peanuts and crackerjack).  That, and a 12-0 drubbing in his next outing, are enough to convince Greg to be cool and stay in school.
