Green Energy

They're green, are shaped like blades on wind turbines, and won't be an eye sore to all those living on Cape Cod. Maybe Obama should consider serving this at lunch in his new dining hall the next time he meets with world leaders to discuss alternative energy.




Enough silliness, here's the recipe:

Slice 2 large avocados in half, and remove the pit

Dice 1/2 of one large white onion


Mash the avocados with a fork, and mix diced onions into them


Add 1 1/2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese to the mixture


Divide the mixture in half, and place each onto it's own flour tortilla

Fold the tortilla in half, with mixture laying in middle, like a calzone. Butter a frying pan, and fry the stuffed tortilla on low heat, flipping until both sides are golden brown. Slice into 4 pieces, and enjoy with salsa.


While getting your daily fix of green energy, check out how Obama wants to get his.

California Tearjerkers

These hot little numbers will get your nose sniffling, and your eyes watering.

Stuffing: combine 8 oz. of cream cheese, 8 oz. of sharp cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise

The mixture should look something like this:

Peppers: slice 15 jalepano peppers down one side and remove all seeds and insides


Coating: stir together 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup of milk

On a plate, crush 1 1/2 cups of corn flakes

Put it all together! Dip each stuffed pepper in the milk and egg mixture, then roll the pepper in the crushed corn flakes. Lay peppers on baking sheet.

Place pan with peppers in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until cornflakes turn golden and filling begins to bubble.

While waiting for the tearjerkers to bake, take a run to the store and pick up a 6 pack of Pacifico, my personal favorite Mexican beer. Maybe you'll even be lucky enough to come across one of these buses. You will need something cold to wash these treats down with. If you plan on kissing anyone later in the day, you may consider some freshmint tic tacs as well.

Your end result should look as delicious as this:
