I would like to point out something to all of you who have posted silliness on this thread.....I hate you all!

take some fresh jalapenos, slice them in half, and remove the core/seeds.

take a butter knife or spoon and smear cream cheese in each half

wrap them in sliced bacon and throw them on the grill until the bacon is done. or you can bake them in the oven.

That sounds good.

Thank you! Sounds good.

Damn, if I wasn't going to Vegas, I'd be crashing that party.

BTW, my pale ale turned out great. Thinking about trying an Irish Ale next.

Have ya ever made Mango Salsa? Back when I lived in Ville Platte, I first tasted it there.

1 or 2 Mango fruits
juice of 2 or 3 limes
1 or 2 jalapenos
red skin onion
fresh garlic
Tony's
Fresh Cilantro

Dice up the mango, jalapenos, cilantro and onions
throw in the garlic, little Tony's
cut the limes in half and squeeze 'em (if you want you can take a little pulp of these and throw them in too
mix well...
In the summer time, this is a very tasty snack with chips or on whatever you want to eat them with, great with almost all beer too. I like to have it with my Belgian White or a good Pilsner or Pale, but it goes well with Dark beer too!!

since nobody mentioned desert, I will. How about Chocolate mousse? Very tasty, and easy to make. Here ya go:

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of cocoa
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Imitation Rum extract

Directions:

Beat all ingredients together until mixture is smooth and mounds softly. Then spoon into desert dishes.

Awesome. I've been lazy and currently have 20 (yes twenty, I know it's obscene) gallons of beer waiting to bottle. Next on the agenda are a Belgian dubble and a vanilla bourbon Imperial porter.

Heh. Just yesterday. My wife brought some in to work, now I'm stuck having to make some for her co-worker that wants some for this weekend.

Mine was a little different. I used tomatos, white onion (instead of red), also added some red wine vinegrette. Most of the rest was the same.

Sounds good Kclee, either way...the shit they sell in the store is vomitous! And, not exaclty "salsa"

I am having 3 fresh Chickens dressed this morning. I'm going to make some beercan chickens.

I'm going with the standard Italian Dressing/Lemon Pepper, Spiced apple/Honey, and am going to try a raspberry dressing basted chicken.

I would like to see some simple Steak-chicken Rub recipee's for dummies.

You can buy that stuff @ the grocery store Iowa - Emeril makes a good Chicken Rub.

Part of my problem is, I don't really know what alot of the spices are, and what they do.

I have no idea what Cumin is, for example....I'm not afraid to reach into a spice rack and start throwing stuff on, but I wish I knew a little more about the basics. It hasn't happend yet, but someday, I'm going to screw up some good steaks.

Well definitely don't put Cumin on steaks, that goes into chili. :D
