Last Saturday, we bought about 10 fresh jalapenos at the farmers market down the street from our house.
Today, we still had nine left. We have only fixed Mexican food once this week. Let's face it, jalapenos are just not that common an ingredient if you aren't cooking Mexican.
We decided to use the rest of the jalapenos (that were starting to wither) to make jalapeno poppers. Deseed them, stuff them with monterey jack cheese, dip in batter, then fry. Fry them in the fry daddy that you got as a wedding present. That makes them really great.
an upclose look at a perfect specimen. this jalapeno was red.John shows a plate of our entire meal: the jalapeno poppers, refried beans, and spanish rice. It was quite a delicious meal. Tomorrow we have to go to school for orientation.
For some reason, at William Jewell, the incoming Freshmen have their first class meeting for their GEN ED 100 on the saturday before classes actually start. I just have orientation for the continuing education class that I am taking. booooorr-r-r-rring. even if it's boring, it's only for an hour. it will just be a tour of the campus, with a stop by the book store to buy books for the semester. it'll be a lot like a tour of a city in Europe: the tour guide will show us the city, then take us by the fanciest gift shop in hopes that we'll buy something.And, what would a post from Laura and John be without a very cute photo of one or both of the kittens?
It just wouldn't be right, and it just wouldn't make much sense!
Here they both are, taking a nap together on the couch. sooooo cute!

my index finger is still burning from handling the jalapenos for too long.
Daddy thinks that meal looks pretty good! He took over my computer while I talked on the phone to my 2nd cousin, Debra Skelton Skipper. She lived around the road from me when we were growing up and we spent a lot of time together. She just moved to Southhaven. Maybe I'll get to see her again some time now!
If the plane is out of its annual by September 22nd weekend, we might try to come up that weekend. Do you have anything planned for then? Will that work for you guys? Dad and I can get a hotel room if there is one not too far from you. If Joe comes, maybe he can sleep on your couch.
What do you think about that?
I'm ready for a new post!
