Nothing quite like a hotdog on a stick. I hope THP busts out a killer beer batter and then deep-fries those bad boys!
THP busts it out - Mac-n-Cheese on a stick? Dude, that's beyond awesome - that's EPIC! What was I thinking hiding in my bunker? 
I'm getting out to head on over to the front lines of this war!

Are the Pepper Boys MIA??? 
OMG THE IDEA WORKED, The molds pressed them into a perfect cylinder, and they slide out with ease, and the liners come right off! They are nice and solid, perfect for the stick... with a smooth surface perfect for coating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ATTACK is later tonight!!!!!!!
I'm excited now! This was crazy and it is working!!!!

I'm betting I was dead on the money.
Ok, So I had a busy weekend and got a late start but here come the pictures. FYI I forgot the .40 in the Best of all the pictures I took.. I was reading this post and devouring the food when I realized it. 
Oh well..
The dish: Seafood Trifecta
This was my take on a seafood appetizer. A sampler if you will. I thought about my all time favorite seafood apps and decided to do it MY WAY for once. Honestly, I'm not one to toot my own horn but the pictures do this no justice. I had my girlfriend and a couple other people over to test it out. Got a few high-fives and alot of compliments so I guess it was pretty good. I didnt really get to eat much of it.
So here it is, My explanations and ingredients.
1st - Bacon wrapped shrimp with a homemade Strawberry Habanero BBQ sauce.
1/2 pound fresh local shrimp.
Bacon
Homemade Strawberry Habanero BBQ Sauce
Skewered, Grilled, and brushed with the sauce. Extra sauce on the side for dipping.
2nd - Lobster lollipop with habanero infused garlic butter dip. (Yes the shell peeled right off and you were able to eat it on the stick)
1 Lobster Tail (Grilled)
Butter sauce - Butter, Minced Garlic, 1 Habanero, sauvingon blanc, chives.
Butter sauce for dippin'.
3rd - Sashimi Tuna with a soy/ginger/wasabi dip
1 sashimi grade tuna filet
Sauce - Minced ginger, soy sauce, squeeze of lemon, wasabi.
Note: These pics were taken with my iPhone so they arent great.
Picture #1 - After we started eating I remembered the .40. Not the best presentation pic but you get the idea.
Picture #2 - Close up (before everyone started diggin' in)
Thanks to everyone on here for welcoming me when I started on here a couple of months ago. Great people all the way around. Thanks to THP for the opportunity to challenge, This should be a good one!
Everyone!

You will need 1.5" PVC pipe cut to 5.25" in length. With Reynolds Freezer Paper (plastic coated), cut and roll into tube shapes and line the pipe, and at the bottom, roll up and pinch so you have a sock effect and make sure the liners come up above the pipe. Tape them together and place on a plate. Now you have your food-safe molds.
Mac and cheese:
Farfalline pasta, extra sharp white cheddar, freshly grated parmigiano reggiano, organic cream cheese (as a binder when it chills), crisped pancetta, Wondra flour, butter, milk, half and half, sea salt.
Make the mac; slow simmered cheese sauce plus boiled pasta, add crisped pancetta (cast iron on grill), and mix well. Fill the molds about 3/4 full with the mac and cheese. Put a stick in the dogs (Applegate Farms Natural Hot Dogs) and push to the bottom of the molds, then lift up about 1/4". Chill overnight.
Next day, pull them out by tugging on the paper and they pull right out. Take the paper off. Next step is the dredge. Wondra flour, egg, and panko bread crumbs and dried naga pods coarsely crushed as the crumb.
Deep fry in corn oil. Serve with your choice of mustard.
