still using up summer's "bounty"
pretty light bounty here in the northwest where we had a very short summer

here's a take on a favorite tailgate item Noni brought to the UW game:
 jalapenos stuffed with creamcheese/bluecheese mix and wrapped in turkey bacon.

Noni's tailgate'n' jalapeno boats

Noni's had regular cream cheese topped with a salami strip and wrapped in regular bacon,
 and there were none left when it was over...
roasting actually removes much of the heat from the peppers- roast at 350˚ for about 20 minutes
be sure to use rubber gloves when cutting up the jalapenos or you'll be sorry, believe me
