Jewbombs (Sunday, June 19, 2011)

The picture here is poor.  I was already drunk
enough not to care.

These are a hefty and spicy appetizer that I stole from my dad.  He just calls them bacon wrapped jalepenos but I call them "Jewbombs."  Why you say?  Well, they contain pork (bacon), shellfish (crab filling) and are obviously very spicy (hence the "-bomb" portion).  All you do is split and clean the jalepenos, fill them with a crab dip and wrap them in a half strip of bacon with a toothpick to hold it all together.  You can use plain cream cheese or any filling of your liking (most deli sections have "cajun crab dip").  The filling on this occasion contained cream cheese, crab meat, canned chipotle peppers and various spices.  Don't try to eat too many or it will spoil your dinner.  They are extremely filling.  Oh, and make sure to have a cold beer nearby.

Grilled Peach w/ Ice Cream (Sunday June 26, 2011)

For dessert, a white peach from the grill with ice cream.  Simply, I wrapped half a white peach in foil with butter and brown sugar and put it on the cool part of the grill while I cooked.  I then added a scoop of strawberry ice cream and a little bit of basil.  The ice cream is a standard rich vanilla ice cream (same recipe as usual, see "bacon ice cream") with sliced strawberries mixed in.  This is a fast and easy dessert for hot summer days.  You're guaranteed to have a corner of free space on the grill anyway, may as well put a peach there.  In fact, many fruits could substitute (i.e. apple, pear, apricot).
