I made two posts on Freecycle today - one for jalapeno peppers (picked about 6 dozen from the garden today - about 5 dozen more than we could realistically use - and I only picked about half of them) and another for a ton of miscellaneous clothes and other items. Everything has been spoken for except some woman's clothes. I feel lighter already.
The two people who took the peppers - one dropped off a bunch of board games when she found out I had kids and the other offered me to stop by her shop and pick out a little something. I guess what goes around comes around 
BTW, any ideas for jalapeno peppers? I make stuffed peppers and salsa out of them, but you can only do that so many times...

Especially in light of the fact that it does seem you have a nice little " give and get" cycle going. You never know, maybe someone that receives some of your peppers will see you stranded on the road one day and stop to help. Or they may have soemthing to sell in the future, you might want it and get a better deal. They may even remember you when they want to buy or sell a house.
If you decide to pickle them I have a method. Fill a jar with sliced peppers, pour HOT vinegar over them and seal. You can do a hot water bathe with them also.

DH told me he is definitely going to do "something" with what we have left (after giving 7 dozen away on freecycle!). We'll see what he comes up with...
