T.G.I. your mother

So the A&P by my house is closing soon (when is up for debate) but they're having crazy sales. So yesterday my mom was like, "let's go, maybe you can get some stuff for your blog!" and i was like, "Okay, you're right!" and two hours later you were wrong, and by you i mean me. It was THE worst, especially since i had already spent 8 hours in a grocery store that day, and been up since 3am. But anyway we made it through, we made it through. One of the products we invested in was this:
Because i was like, 'Hey at 3am, i can just toast this and go!!" But two things failed here, 1: i don't like to eat in the morning, which probably should have occurred to me. 2: when i was forcing one of these down I realized that the inside is most definitely Philadelphia cream cheese, and the outside is most definitely cardboard. I used to love crap like this, and while i'm glad my pallet has improved, i'm also sad i can't enjoy the simple pleasures of crappy frozen food anymore. It's a rough life.

When DPL, Scotty, and I used to be stranded at our house during college break or whatever, we used to have 'parties' in my parent's basement. This basically meant a 12 pack, Jeopardy! the board game, and some frozen appetizers (unquestionably Jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, and pizza bagels) which they used to have in one million brands, but apparently now only have as TGI Friday's, which is terrible. Also one time one of the beers was skunkie and i kept trying to give it to Scotty as he progressively got drunker throughout the night, but he was on to me by the end. You're a quick one, Scotty L.

So today i was like, 'I'm gonna do it!' and by that i meant make Jalapeno poppers. So i busted out the old Cool Daddy Pro and Grapefruit juice, found a recipe, and my journey began.


Shred:
1/4 cup chedder
1/4 cup jack
1/4 cup gruyere

Shove into 4 (9?) Jalapeno's that have been de-seeded, stemmed, and sliced down the side.


Now i know my sister's gonna read this blog and be all, "Why'd you use chedder, you know cream cheese is the better filling!" and so i put some to the side thinking we had cream cheese at home which we did, barely. So DPL this one is for you.

mix batter with one egg, one cup flour, and 1/2 a beer. Season with salata y peppery. Dip, then fry, but not at 375 cause that's too hot. Try 325, i think.


Then enjoy with ranch dressing, and beverage of choice (also the cream cheese stuffed are(is) far superior, no question):

And in the infamous words of Scotty L, "Quick, eat it before it turns back to cheese!"

Here's a Harvey shot just because:

  1. Well, you definitely caught me on the cream cheese thing. I was distressed for exactly 10 seconds until reaching your next sentence. Also, you forgot that we'd play old records from the 50s-80s during our parties. We didn't start the fire, we just love drinking Dad's old Red Dog.
