Yes and that one bell pepper plant?  My but it's a prolific little fellow! 
The bananna pepper has done nothing (did i need 2 of them for cross
pollenation?

There's some things but depends on how starchy it was.  I might have added
some soy sauce to it and used it for vegetable boiling water if i were low
on stock.

-> Is it a (finished yied) 20 cup cooker like mine, more or less capacity?

Oh smaller than that.  I think (will have to look) a 12 cup max?  I don't
think I've ever done more than a 10 cup yield in it.  Usually I do a 5-6
cup yield.

Oh sure and i wouldnt flinch at all with that price for alot of the
seafoods I get.  Just, not for lamb.

Mom's had hip replacement but is going strong.

Yup!  I didnt date them then but Charlotte's age and the fact that it was a
food not seen in Japan shows it was here.  That may have been one of the
last 'new ones' just before we left.
