Laura - deep fried jalapeno peppers w/ cream cheese

[Guest guest]

Those cream cheese filled jalopenos are good. I buy them frozen at the grocery

store and bake them up. They used to have a cheddar and cream cheese combo

filled jalopenos and those were my very favorite. You're right the cheese calms

down the heat to just a nice kick of spice. I love them too.

 

We love boiled peanuts. Glad to see a northern take to these delicious morsels.

We are huge potato fans too. I love to make baked potato wedges. I just

slice them in wedges, toss with some oil, salt and chili powder, or smoked

paprika, or Ms Dash, garlic salt and bake about 30 minutes on a baking sheet.

Yummmm. Or just bake them after you've tossed them with a little oil and salt.

When crispy and tender, toss them with some Tony's Chachere's Creole seasoing

when you take them out of the oven. So good!

 

LOL I've been on that lonesome stretch of interstate between Macon and Savanah

too and there isn't much to stop at along the way is there.

I've not been to Arby's in years. Maybe I'll have to make a stop at one, while

I'm out christmas shopping one day. LOL

 

I can't imagine having a window just shatter in a vehicle. How shocking.

That would be hard to find someone to repair it in a reasonable time frame.

ugh....... car repairs on a trip or anytime is no fun.

Re:Favorite snack food * deep fried jalapeno

peppers w/ cream cheese

 

 

 

 

Hi!

NOOOO.!!...That's just what makes them so " addictive " (cream-cheese

stuffed deep fried jalapeno peppers). They AREN'T all that hot because I guess

the cream cheese, being creamy and bland, sort of cools it all off! I could

NEVER eat a whole (or in the case

of these, a half jalapeno pepper " naked " --un-cheese stuffed and not breaded...

The crumb

and batter breading and the mellow cream cheese just seem to take a lot of the

" heat " out

of the hot pepper and what's left is a really neat taste!

 

The very first time I tried these, our family was on a long road trip

(car-vacation), and for

the first time we were going to Savannah, GA. Our minivan had been stalled in

Atlanta for

several hours after a rear window suddenly had shattered--right in the middle

of the thru-way

traffic on I-75; we'd gotten it repaired, but, late in the day, we set out on

our way toward Savannah.

 

That highway between Macon, GA. and Savannah is long and lonely! We

stopped about

half-way to get something to eat. That is the first time I noticed the

" poppers " on the menu

at the Arby's we drove thru--and I tried them. Oh! What a wonderful taste!

I fell in love with the buggers! (That might also have been the same trip when

I " discovered " the joy of eating BOILED PEANUTS, as well.. I love going to

different places and finding new foods

to try and enjoy!)

 

The potato wedge things are just like my fantasy food from childhood. I

haven't found a

" potato " food that I didn't like--except I'm not all that crazy about

" gnocchis " . Anything else, if it's made with or from potatoes, BRING IT ON!!!

(I'd probably like " fried " gnocchis, however!)
