pregnant pepper

For dinner on Friday night, we had brats in beer, onions and peppers. Since I'm pretty much good for cutting the veggies up (and that's about it), I was in charge of cutting the pepper. You can imagine my surprise when I cut it opened to find that this pepper was pregnant!!! J says he's seen this before but I never had. You can see the little baby pepper that was tucked away in the belly of the pepper. I thought it was so cute! Here's the baby pepper. We took it as a sign and Josh said I had to eat the little pepper. I was surprised that it was actually really really hot when I ate it. (Natasha, you might be able to tell me why, but I have no clue why it would be so spicy!)
So cute. Have you ever seen a pregnant pepper??
