Good looking food, Rick. Why does Gus look guilty?

I love the jalapeno cornbread cup idea. I may have to steal that :D. I wonder how the peppers would hold up if you cooked them somewhat before filling to get them softer.

naturegirl, I for the chicken marinade I usually go for 3 tablespoons of fish sauce and lime juice, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar and the rest to taste. The more lemon grass the better, but 1/4 cup works well for 2 pounds of chicken. Recipezaar has something similar at http://www.recipezaar.com/196139.

cptnkirk, I think putting cheese on top is a good idea. I cooked the pepper/cornbread in preheated iron skillet that was very lightly greased. That added some good color.

Ron_L, Gus always looks guilty. He does not get any people food at all and knows he's missing something.

Cheers, RickG

ABT is an acronymn used on the Virtual Weber message board for Atomic Buffalo Turds, which are stuffed halved bacon wrapped and grilled jalapenos.

I haven't made any yet, but there are some in my near future...

Sounds like the cat is out of the bag, so to speak!

There are so many options for the stuffing. The last batch i made had cream cheese, smoked breakfast sausage, bacon and shredded colby jack cheese. For the seasoning I just used some of the rub I was using for the meat. One of my favorites is what I call the "Turd Rangoon". It's a jalapeno filled with crab rangoon filling (crab meat, cream cheese, a little worcestershire and some seasoning) and then smoked. Yum-O!

Here's some more traditional turds...

Rick,

Thanks for the lemongrass chix recipe. Just happened to pick up some lemongrass from a local farm acouple of days ago and wasn't sure how I was going to use it. Will try to make it this weekend.

You're all making me hungry and it's only 6:30 in the morning! or maybe I'm still dreamin' :)

naturegirl, eat it up!!

Here's one by my own tart, NoTanLines. You know its obsessive when a camera at dinner elicits a chant of "Food Porn, Food Porn!" from the kids.

Spice Rubbed Braised Pork Roast with Scallion CousCous and Garlicy Sauteed Green Beans. The rub had a bunch of all spice and was very tasty. The braise was tomatoes, onions and red bell peppers.

Great bungholes of fire? Now THAT is hilarious!

I cut off the top, scoop out the seeds and veins with an apple corer and then use either a piping bag or heavy plastic bag with a large tip to squirt the filling inside. If I am making a lot I will get out my jerky gun. It has a tip for making beef sticks that is the right size.

The holders are all over eBay in all different shapes and sizes.
