Good and good for ya, cut off the stem end of a jalapeño,  do your best on getting the seeds and hollowing the pepper out. Stuff it with cream cheese and shredded cheese.  wrap it in ground sausage and smoke at 250 for bout an hour or so.

 

Right here.  Bobber is da man.

[bobberineyes]

Ya pretty easy,  we used mild Italian sausage,  ended up using 2lbs on the  8 peppers . Makes me wonder how chorizo would be...hmmm. 

[RebelSS]

Burrito stuffed armadillo eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight's dessert.

"Just some yellow cake" she says.

[RebelSS]

"Just some yellow cake" she says."       !!!! Well then, give me a big piece of that  p.apple upside down cake, with a big dollop of whipped cream, please!     Looks great to me.....

[Dotch]

Mmmmm...yellow cake. Me like.  

Did Mother's Day supper last night. Call it Boodles and Brats if you like. Mrs. Cheviot has been putting in some long hours lately so time for me to step up to the plate and be a hero. Needed something quick so grabbed a fresh bottle of Crown to replenish the supply, a 6 pack of Coke bottles for her and tracked down one of my faves, Boodles. Odd, I have this sudden urge to smoke a cigar, buy a bulldog, wear a derby and b-slap Neville Chamberlain! Also picked up some fresh brats and buns. When I got the call that she was coming home about 5:30 last night I knew I'd done good. Tossed some stuff together after chores and she was happy. Nothing fancy and it was quick. Knocked her right out so she didn't paw me all night. Although I may take pity on her later today when she gets home. If she's real nice, I might let her lay the seat flat on the Studebaker and ravage me! Sometimes ya just gotta take one for the team...

I think boodles is what Travis McGee, the famous fictional detective, drank (drinks?) .   Books by John D McDonald.

Dang that Gin and Tonic looks good. Might just have to have one when I get back home from our Mother Day festivity's. Funny I pulled out some of my homemade old fashion wieners for supper.

 

[Dotch]

Mmmm...sounds good Jim. Nothin' beats homemade. I may have to have a GT when I take a break this afternoon. Got any smomed lake trout or salmon for an appetizer? Boy wish I did.

I would have to catch some salmon first. Soon Superior will start acting nice and let us get out and fish. Darn east wind is bad again this spring.

Geez, these things always take longer than you think they should. Normally for a 12 lb. turkey cooked indirect I figure I can do it in about 2 hours give or take a few minutes. Therefore a 4 lb max 1/2 chicken should be about a half hour, right? Wrong! Anyway, 1/2 yardbird cooked indirect with apple wood for additional smome. Took about an hour and numerous adult beverages as I was fretting. Luckily Mrs. Cheviot was happy to have leftover brats so at least she wasn't riding my tail. The BBQ sauce was a typical Dotch garbage can method. That is: Hey, looks like this is about gone, let's toss it in! Ingredients: 57, Kraft BBQ sauce, Coke, Bold and Spicy mustard, Soy sauce and last but not least for smurfy's benefit, katchup! Indirect as I said and with the windows open on the house, man did it smell good in here. Still does!

159.9. Close enough for my comfort.

I was just looking at it. Honest! Ya, right.

Made it! And with a little Crown to spare!

Looks good and flavorful !!!

Plan to cook one up later this week but not sure of the method due to the rainy forecast.

[Craigums]

Went well with a bourbon barrel aged barleywine

No, red oxide powder. When combined with a few other ingredients, produces Thermite that blows up hollow Smurf trees.

I'll trade ya two deviled eggs for one armadillo egg, and gladly pay ya on tuesday. 

 

 

Coop, I only had one to "test". Really!  

 

I'm having leftover beans, Sriracha chicken, and some of those eggs for dinner. Maybe you guys wanna hold off on the "Tuesday" visit. Might haveta have all the windows open. 

 

 

 

[delcecchi]

Reb, got you eating Siracha.  Next you will be sous videing those pork chops from fareway....  Happy to let you try my machine.

[RebelSS]

Ya know what Del? I brushed that stuff on the chicken while grilling, like you would BBQ sauce, and the "bite" cooked right out of it! No bite at all...yet there was plenty BEFORE it was basted on. I guess that stuff can only be used after, like when making hot wings. I was surprised the bite cooked out...   Wait until Fall, might take ya up on the soused up verde thing.

[delcecchi]

So when is your upcoming appt?

[RebelSS]

Funny you asked that, a buddy of mine just did...it's next Friday for a consult to see if it will work. Just want them to go ahead and implant that wire and the Minnkota remote thingie...*ZZZZT*ZAAAP*  I can't handle anymore pain.
