I love water chestnuts. Maybe I'll do both. The recipe for the dates is wrapped in bacon as well with some kind of crumbly cheese in them...probably bleu cheese. Then popped in the oven until the bacon is cooked. I think I'll try both this weekend!

I am makeing homemade jalpena poppers. I did t his over the summer when the garden was cranking out lots of peppers but today I am useing these baby sweet peppers I found that are the right size. I chop up some jallapena peppers and mix it with the cream cheese to give it some bite slice em down the middle core them out fill with cream cheese top with chedder and breadcrumbs. bake at three fifty untll cheese is melty. The peppers are loaded with vitamin C so its a sorta healthy snack if not a pain to make. Cant seem to stay on task with this job They are awsome. got the baby peppers at the local grocery they are called mini sweet peppers yellow orange and red ones from Pero Farms. Just the right size I gota get back to work on them. WWW.perofamilyfarms.com Ive seen these peppers in the store and they look fabulous. If the 'pain to make' refers to all that 'topping the peppers' I would just stir all the topping up in a bowl and dump it in a baggie. Snip the end and squeeze squeeze squeeze. done done done. I will do that next time thank you!

Going to make a big batch of marinara sauce, and then store it. It'll make about 14 jars of sauce for about 1/2 the price of the cheapest sauce I can buy at the store. And about those poppers... I've made them too. If you want a mild version, remove both the seeds and the placenta (that rib attached to the seeds) before roasting the peppers. Some people roast the peppers before cleaning and stuffing them. That just causes the capsaicin (the hot stuff) to seep out of the seeds and the placenta (two hottest parts of the pepper) and into the flesh of the jalapeno. So, if you want them really spicy, roast the peppers before cleaning them. For a medium version, remove the seeds before roasting and stuffing, but leave the placenta in place.

I took these pics to show her how it turned out. A tie dye cake. Someone out there was VERY creative. I loved the way it turned out. You use the colored gel tubes that you can buy in any grocery store that you normally would use to write on a cake. The trick is start out like a wagon wheel from center out, and keep the brush clean by rubbing on a towel. Sometimes I'd only get halfway through the line and have to wipe the brush on the towel. Although.... if you only used the red and yellow circles, I guess you could make it a flame cake
