    Add some bell pepper and you could become a Cajun cook. Bv)=

    I thought they used the bell pepper where I use the celery... And I'm
    not all that enamored of bell pepper anyway, especiall green... ;)

    In Cajun cooking, the "holy trinity" is celery, onion and bell pepper.
    We prefer the red, but green is ok with us.

    Oh, ok.. so the odd one out is the garlic... I'll try to remember
    that... :) I'd prefer the red bell pepper also... Not that I'm that
    into Cajun cooking... or generally have bell pepper on hand... :)
