There once was a pepper named Romeo. He was in love with the fair Julienned, but alas, she was from another crisper. This is my somewhat twisted contribution to BlogHer's Month of Sides. I dare you to read the whole thing.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Romeo and Julienne

I wish I could've made my own julienned vegetables, but alas, I am no cook.

True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy.

I am but a far-too-busy blogger. Are you, too? Here, save yourself some time -- I found you these fun recipes incorporating Romeo and Julienne from the BlogHer Publishing Network food bloggers!

Pickled Green Papaya from New Asian Cuisine

What ’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

Romeo and Julienne

Thyme-scented Squash Julienne from the Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen

I am the very pink of courtesy.

Romeo and Julienne

Behold Carmen’s Julienned Green Beans and Carrots from Trinigourmet.

Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace!

Romeo and Julienne

Zucchini Slaw from Leite's Culinaria. CHOP! CHOP!

Thou cutt’st my head off with a golden axe.

Romeo and Julienne

The star-crossed lovers are destined for dinner. But, God, isn't it all so romantic?
