So I made a plate of Jalapeno Walmart poppers, they suck. My money would have better spent on cheesesticks.

On the oh god meter they scored a 0
On the perfecctly breaded meter they get a 5/5.

The premade stuff is lacking. Unfortunately, the store bought peppers aren't that hot either. I will find some that show promise.

We cut fresh peppers lengthwise. If you want the heat, leave the seeds and veins. I cut them to make room for the cheese.

Add a chunk of your cheese. I will go to the rich people grocery store and buy a hard, discounted cheese. There is usually something that is interesting in the discount bin. If not, Monterey jack is a standard and mozzarella is a little lower calorie.

Lay on a cookie sheet on a cooling rack. Or straight on the cookie sheet if you aren't fat intolerant. You know, bacon drippings are good for you. Keeps your knees lubricated. BBQ if you want the smoke flavor.

Lay a strip of bacon on it and cook until the bacon is crispy. I'm broiling for close to an hour. Yes, these so called appetizers will make a meal. They also make me happy. Enjoy.

I am so lucky. I was sleeping or passed out on the floor and said to my wife I was hungry with grilled cheese sandwiches but with sharp cheddar cheese slices and now I can smell them cooking.

Best wife ever!

Until you have to mow the grass. You still live in Texas.

I mowed in June, 2 weekends before fathers day so it would look decent for his daughters visit. I mowed again on Oct 30th so it would look decent. Partners 85th birthday was a week later. May not have to mow again this year.

I go more indepth. I love towrap pepper completely in bacon Srick a toothpick through it (makes a good handle and keeps bacon wrapped)

I really love my dogs. Coyotes were calling at the back fence. Naturally my pack wanted out to confront them. The Coyotes are quiet now. My tiny dog is only 45 pounds of Red Heeler, but that is a whole lot of dog by itself. I think her pack mates top out around 80 pounds.

Oh and Broodzilla happened again so I gloved up with those gloves I like ranting on about and was left unharmed after her initial assault on me.

Well I’m outside of Fairbanks Alaska, but we are born and bred Texans. Originally from Bastrop, but spent many years in Centerville half way between Houston and Dallas of I45.
