Chardonnay, Chablis and champagne go with brie.

If you like crackers/chips, that sort of thing, y'all will love these.

[Clang McFly]

I like the flavored crackers/chips so yeah I'm sure I'd like these.

No can do. Long lines at Subway today. I barely had time to eat my own tuna sub.

Sally, have you ever heard of a salt block? It's ah-mazing! Check this out. If you're concerned with clicking a link then google it.

No I've never heard of it, but now I want one. If you use it inside do the drippings from the steak run off the side of the salt block onto the burner?

Do you two gourmet chefs mind if I join this conversation....I ordered a bunch of steaks for one of my Christmas gifts to son and they would be extra good on one of these salt blocks, I think....I had never heard of these before. It seems to have a lot of good reviews so I am going to order one for his birthday in March so thanks...I may get one for me but I never cook anymore....
I did notice it to be cheaper at some other websites...Bed, bath and Beyond has different sizes and Amazon also has several sizes...saw one on Amazon for $18 something for 10" by 2" (more of a rectangle). I also saw the recipe book for $8.00 something at several sites..so think i will order them separately....at amazon, it eligible for Prime shipping.....Bon apetit

I want a whole bunch of them so I can build a house made of salt blocks. I can see the headline now: Man Licked his life and his house away or Rainstorm washes house and man away.

Apparently drippings are kept to a minimum with this thing but if you do get some you wipe the block with a wet paper towel or something similar.

you two gourmet chefs

Wise ass.

Hmmm...An hour just to get the thing up to cooking temp it a bit much I think. Too much trouble for my taste.

Sally, do you make jalapeno poppers?

[Maggot]

[Duchess]

I've got a serious yen for them. I'm downright jonesin'.

[Maggot]

I made a bunch of them last year with peppers from my garden 20-30 with cheddar and 20-30 with cream cheese deep fried. It took a long time because I had to dip them 3 times. They came out great though and next time I will clean them under water to keep the the juice that floats in the air from killing me.

Sally, do you make jalapeno poppers?

I've made jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in a piece of bacon and then broiled or grilled, but I've never made breaded jalapeno poppers. Like Maggot said it takes a long time to individually stuff and bread them and it kills my back when I have to stand in one place for too long. I don't know why because my back never hurts any other time.

Dammit. Now I am too. Maybe I'll order some tonight from grubhub. They won't be as good as what Maggot and sally were describing but my popper palate will be satisfied.

[Maggot]

I'm kinda hoping they leave a seed in there and it gets stuck between the few teeth still left.
