April 1, Fooling around making the coffee & toast

[DeaconKC]

Morning all, 51 and pouring rain here. Goal for today is to load 200-400 rounds on the Dillon. Gonna wait til this afternoon to see if it warms up any. Good morning for hot coffee.

Me and Riley slept all day, because we could. Rita may be home tomorrow.

In the 80s, jalapeno poppers at restaurants were jalapenos stuffed with a mix of onion, cream cheese and cheddar.   They had been roasted to peel them, so they could be breaded and fried.   My father loved them.   He hated roasting and peeling the peppers and most of our homegrown ones seemed to not do well as they were thinner walled than what restaurants used.   During this time, I was in college, drinking more than I should and being creative for cheap food.   We "invented" peanut butter wontons because for some reason we had the wrappers in the house.   They were and are delicious.   I mentioned our invention to my father and he made what he called pepper raccoons as opposed to crab rangoon.   It is a wanton stuffed with jalapeno, cream cheese, scallions and some cheddar.   My lord they are tasty.   If you miss the 80s jalapeno poppers, try these.

Morg,
the breaded fried style can be had in frozen food dept. in grocery stores near the frozen burritos etc.
They are eh !    kinda what Jeno's pizza rolls are to good brick oven pizza.

Your Dad's, wanton stuffed with jalapeno, cream cheese, scallions and some cheddar, (I assume fried) sounds good.
I have a friend, who is half Korean, that uses a Fry Baby and makes wonton with ground beef, pepper & onions very tasty.
I on the other hand, use the flaky Pop'n Fresh Busquets dough (each cut in 1/4 ) then wrapped & filled all manner of ingrediencies with my basket fryer.
I've use Little Smokies or pearl Onions, or cream cheese.
Peanut Buter, Chedder, ground beef etc. when the Busquets dough is golden, they are cooked through.

I have yet to try frying stuffed jalapenos, that seems to be something on the to do list

Hi Major,
Yes, cheddar or jack was added and they were fried.  Although, spraying them with non stick spray and cooking in a hot (425) oven does really well too.   

We put all kinds of things in them, taco meat/cheese, refried beans/cheese, peanut butter, chocolate.   Also it was in the era of tinned biscuits, 10 rolls for $1.   We did a lot with those too.   Throw in Jiffy cornbread and that was our basic diet, with more carbohydrates coming from beer.   

Funny, I switched to an anti-inflammatory diet 7 weeks ago.   About 3 weeks ago it was like the clock was turned back 30 years.   And have lost 15 lbs to boot.  As good as all of the above sound, I am happily resisting temptation to go purchase any of that.

I hope you are safe and well clear of the bad weather.
To all in the Omaha, and Lincoln, Nebraska area, including southeastern Nebraska, southern Iowa, eastern Kansas, and northeastern Texas.
 My prayers are uploaded for you all.

Del, RCJ, Yuma, Pitspitr, Ned and the Iowa Muster shooters please be safe.

Country Ribs from the Amish Market last night. In the Crock Pot for six hours on low . Excellent!

Just spoke to Del.; Tornado passed 2 miles north of his location.
He, Rita and Riley are fine but his 'puter is down for an upgrade and has to restore Cas City passwords etc.
Rita came home, and they went out for a Steak & fix'n' yesterday evening .

[DeaconKC]

Thanks for the good news that everyone was safe from storms. We had some good ones here last night, but no damage at Casa Deacon. Went to load some 45 Colt last night, couldn't find my plastic boxes for the ammo, kept looking and when I found them, they were full of loaded ammo! So I have plenty for the Alabama Shoot this weekend. Supposed to rain more tonight. Y'all be good and have a blessed Lord's Day.

I'm on the air, still doing some detailing.   

Grandson mentioned one time recently he wished he had a desk top.  Rita's downstairs is 5 years old and never really been used and is a better, newer one.  Carried stuff up a little at a time and he took his today. 

Just got one monitor on now, need to take time and zip tie the wires I got running around, eventually will have it set up with 3 monitors.

Early morning rise and fed the beasties.
Made grilled ham & cheese breakfast sandwiches, coffee.
67 degrees and clear.

I bet; a nap may be in order at some point in the afternoon.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Good to hear Rita is home. And, everyone is safe from tornadoes.
There was a tornado warning in the county in IA where we were last night. Got rain and wind.
Got done with shooting yesterday just before the rain started.

Micah tried buying a rifle from Brownells today. Since he is 18, there is a 10 day waiting period, which we did not know about. So, he worked away empty handed.

When was the waiting period instituted for 18-20 year olds buying rifles?

I found that one also. I've been ranting since I found it. These people need to be fired and constitutionalists need to be elected in their places.  I said other things but won't put them in writing especially on the internet.
