Early morning at the Greenmarket. No lines
at P.E. and D.D. Seafood where I bought some Bluefish.
No more peaches and corn is at its end. Tonight's feast
is Stuffed Peppers.
40,000 - 50,000 (Scoville scale) Santaka pepper

Sweet, smooth and strong.

The title derives from a line in a Sherlock Holmes short story:
Silver Blaze.
