Freakishly large peppers, usually mince ’em and toss ’em into scrambled eggs, but being they were so huge I figured I’d “stuff” these on the half-shell with cream-cheese and top with panquo+butter crumbs, then bake, vs coating and frying.
Jolly Rancher Cherry Stix. I came across these on the local shopping website and ordered them from a candy importer in Manila. I was thrilled to see them.
They’re small bars of hard candy that come in various flavors. As a kid they were my favorite candy and every day I’d stop at Webster’s drug store on my way home from school and buy one for a nickel (05¢). It would last for the long walk up Lake Blvd in Altadena. (Well, seemed long at the time).
It reminds me how wonderful life was growing up in Southern California back then. The world has changed considerably.
Not really a “snack” so much as a late(!) breakfast.
English-muffin pizzas. Dunno if I posted the “recipe” here before, but if not…
Toast the EMs unless you like a nasty raw yeast EM taste. Cover with cheese (today’s was murrrcan cheese, but mozz, montyjack, etc., are great). Top with sliced tomato. Black pepper to taste, anywhere from none to piled-high cajun style.
25min at chree-fitty to melt everything, then crank it up to 450 to brown the cheese, watching carefully (browns fast!).
They’re goooooooooooood eatin’!
No fresh tomatoes? Toast the EMs more thoroughly, wet with tomato sauce or pizza sauce as you want, then add mozz on top. Cheese is now uncovered, so can just hit it with 400 or so ’til it melts and browns at once. Oregano and basil on mozz makes it especially yummy.
Mariquitas Plantain Chips—surprisingly not sweet at all.
but after seeing LB is not bluffin with his muffin, i may have to give that a go. i do a similar pizza using ciabatta rolls with olive oil and basil tomato sauce; i can’t always get the ciabatta but i always have EMs handy.
I used to make something close to these back in my munchie days. Thanks for reminding me, next time English Muffins are 2 for 1 I’’l have to make some.
