Last night I made some poppers.  
 

 
8oz brick cream cheese, softened
1 lb jalas
2 slices cooked bacon, chopped
4 oz shredded cheese
4 oz fire roasted salsa (home made)
 
Slice the jalas lengthwise and gut them.  Keep stem on, it serves as a handle.
 
 
 
all hollowed out and ready to stuff!
 
 
 
Mix the softened cream cheese with the bacon, shredded cheese and salsa.  Stir well to combine.
 
 
 
Get a spoon and make with the stuffing!!  Here they are ready to go topped with a bit of smoked jala powder:
 
 
 
And now to the grill we go!
 
 
 
Gently remove the poppers about 20-30 minutes later and plate.
 
 
 
Thanks for looking!

Separate from growing them or not - you did *get* the MC seeds, right?

I think Ozzy's the only one who didn't ...

Panang Chicken Curry.  
 

 
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4" cubes
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1/2 red pepper, sliced
2 frozen big jim chiles, chopped
1/2 onion, sliced
1 medium carrot, halved and cut into half moons on a bias
2-3 tbsp panang curry paste
12 oz coconut milk
nice chunk of ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
 
Cut everything up.  Start a tbsp of olive oil in a pan over high heat and add the onion/carrot/peppers when hot.  Cook, stirring often for about 3-4 minutes.  Add the ginger, garlic, curry paste and frozen peppers.  Cook another 3-4 minutes over high heat until everything smells great.  Add the chicken and the coconut milk.  Bring the pan just to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking until the chicken is done and the sauce is thickened slightly.
 
Serve over noodles or rice and garnish with some fresh cilantro.  
 
Thanks for looking!
