Stuffed Jalapeños...oh my

Not too long ago I went to a birthday party and the hosts cousin brought stuffed jalapeños. Gordos's cousin came over to where I was sitting with other family wives and handed a plate over with these ginormous jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. I'll be honest I really didn't think I was going to like them, I'm not a fan of cream cheese filled peppers, but these suckers looked so good with that crispy bacon snugly hugging them that I could not refuse. I was amazed at how good they were, I mean the pepper was tender and cheese was soft and gooey and the bacon...oh the bacon just brought it all home! My only regret that day was to not have piled on a plate of those jalapeños and taken some home! I decided I'd take a crack at making them myself.

You start out with your basic 3 ingredients: cream cheese, bacon and jalapeños:


Cut open the jalapeños, clean out the seeds:





 It's about a tablespoon of cream cheese per pepper. Oh and please oh PLEASE wear some gloves if you're gonna try this. I made the mistake of not wearing any and OMG did my hands burn for hours...no kidding!!

Put the haves together and wrap some bacon around them:




Stick them in the oven at 350 degrees and wait for the bacon to crisp and the peppers to get soft:


They are ready to be eaten! My husband really liked these. I had never eaten jalapeños like this before. I would like to make them again soon....but I need to make sure I have gloves this time!!

OMG SPIDERS!!!!!

I have to admit it, I'm scared of creepy crawlys..... especially the eight legged variety.  They really freak me out.  Since we've been in the house I've seen easily 4 or 5 different kinds of spiders eeekk!!!!

My dad was nice enough to buy me some veneno to spray all over the place.  I had postponed it because it's been raining.  Well last night I found an ant search party on my kitchen counter and I had no choice but to open fire on them.  I kinda got a little out of control and started spraying in the basement O.o That was a BIG mistake.  Spiders came out of no where!

I shrieked.

I sprayed.

I ran.

In the morning I checked to see if there were any casualties, all I saw was a few clumps of dark mass.  No I didn't take any pictures, I was too busy watching my back.  I made an executive decision.  I will seek a professional or ask someone to finish off the spray, and by someone I mean my dad or my sister-in-law, because lord knows my brother, although physically a giant is a chicken when it comes to bugs.
