These are one of the trashiest and most ridiculous of snacks, from the depths of the 1960s suburban USA. There are many variations around. My mom used to make a version with either apricot jam or orange marmalade and BBQ sauce and homemade meatballs. The very trashiest version is the one that Jessica made: a bag of frozen meatballs, a jar of grape jelly and the same amount of your favorite bottled BBQ sauce. You dump the bag of meatballs in a slow cooker, mix the jelly and BBQ sauce in a saucepan and pour it over the meatballs. Two to three hours on HIGH or about six on LOW and there you go. Everyone laughs like mad at them and then they evaporate in 15 minutes and you wish you'd made more! 😁
I made this version for my wife for the Superbowl.
They turned out about as well as the game.

I can't find the recipe I used last time, but I think it went something like this.
Soy
Brown sugar
Garlic
Ginger
Gochujang
Sesame oil
Last time I made them, I just skewered them and grilled them over charcoal and they were pretty chewy.
Shelby at some point mentioned that she puts them in a pressure cooker first then fries.
I plan to pressure cook then grill.

I've been a KC Chiefs fan since the first time they won the Superbowl. A lot of lean years with a few good ones in between. Pretty cool to have a good team again.
Normally, I would fire up the smoker and do a brisket with a bunch of sides. But with the virus, it's just me and my wife this year and there's no way we could eat that in a month. Add to that the fact that she doesn't like football.
I think I'm doing apps. Deviled eggs, ABTs, maybe chile con queso. I did Korean grilled chicken gizzards one time that came out pretty good. I may try those again.

My wife was out running errands this afternoon and stopped by Jason's Deli for a 1/2 of a muffuletta.
Pretty tasty.

I only tried once. It was a complete disaster.
My wife requested a cheesecake made from the fake sugar in the yellow box. Splenda?
The recipe called for a lot of it. It looked beautiful coming out of the oven. Nicely risen, slightly browned top. Looked like a really nice cheesecake.
No one took more than one bite. It was so bitter, I'm not sure anyone swallowed their first bite.
Shivers.

I will never again buy a can of PAM without reading all of the label.
It said PAM, I bought it.
Then I made late-night chicken wings in the air fryer.
I mix half cornstarch and half flour and season with a boat load of cayenne and some Lawry's salt.
Arrange in the air fryer and spray with PAM, close it up and shut the lid.
10 seconds into it I'm asking myself where that weird vanilla scent is coming from.
PAM baking spray with vanilla, WTF is that? And why does it need vanilla in it? Who doesn't add vanilla into their baked goods?
After cooking, the wings were then tossed in a sauce of Frank's, El Yucateco Caribbean and coarsely ground black pepper.
With enough El Yucateco, I think I killed the vanilla flavoring.

I had never heard of Duke's until moving to KY about 10 years ago. Seems to be the favorite here. I can't tell much of a difference between Duke's and Hellman's to be honest. I usually get Hellman's because Duke's only seems to come in giant economy size.

About this time last year, we got into a discussion about stuffed jalapenos. (Yes, I'm back to armadillo eggs and their ilk!) @FauxPas linked to this recipe, and perhaps made it. @blue_dolphin showed her results here. @chileheadmike showed his ABT's here, and @ElsieD showed her results from the linked recipe here. I finally decided to try the baked version of jalapeno poppers that blue_dolphin and ElsieD had done. I did this after thawing a bunch of bacon in preparation for wrapping it around the jalapenos. The spendwithpennies version has you slice the jalapenos in half, stuff each half, top with a panko/melted butter mixture, and bake. It sounded like a great Friday evening dinner.
Success! Instead of bothering with the bacon, I added finely-chopped Genoa Salami from a roll my sister had given us for Christmas. I'm beginning to the think the meat and stuffings don't need to be very specific, unless you're trying to roll it around a stuffed pepper.
This treatment was delicious, and think the recipe must be very forgiving. Next time maybe I'll try the spendwithpennies verion of Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers. Maybe they won't be very different from chileheadmike's Atomic Buffalo Turds, although I notice something extra in the filling. @chileheadmike, what is that nestled between the cream cheese and the bacon in your photo here?
I use a little smokie. Pulled pork works well too.
Yours look delicious.

It could get a bit salty with an "enhanced" turkey.

My wife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary on Monday. She requested stuffed chicken breast. I buy a whole chicken and filet the whole breast in one piece. I pound it thin and the stuff with a mixture of cream cheese, crumbled bacon, sauted and chopped spinach, green onions, Worcestershire, Tabasco and a little fresh ground nutmeg. Flour/egg wash/bread crumbs and then pan fry both sides and finish in the oven.
Served with smashed new potatoes and asparagus grilled with garlic butter.

My daughter, SIL and 1.5 year old granddaughter had to cancel their trip from Minneapolis due to the virus. Younger daughter will be here, she lives in an off campus apartment here in town, we rarely see her with school, work and practicum.
On the menu will be honey brined and pecan smoked turkey.
Deviled eggs
Sausage dressing
Mashed potatoes
Slow cooked all day green beans with country ham.
Corn
Rosemary/chive rolls
Gravy
Bourbon pecan pie and Dutch apple pie.
Seems like a lot for just three of us, but the youngest daughter is demanding dressing so I'm doing the whole shebang. I offered to do steaks or lasagna or something non traditional. I think she'd be happy with just dressing and gravy.

Maybe this is regional. My mom and the nuns at school always referenced starving kids in India.

Mine is a two day process.
Day 1 I simmer a whole chicken with a box of Swanson's broth, usually the low sodium one.
Remove chicken, let cool and pick the meat.
Then return the bones and skin to the stock and simmer for another hour or two.
Strain and refrigerate.
Next day I pull off the chicken fat and heat the stock.
Add onion, carrot and celery along with some Italian seasoning and a lot of freshly ground black pepper.
Simmer till tender then add the chicken meat.
I salt at this point.
I add Reames frozen egg noodles (yeah, I call them dumplings)
Cook over low heat for 20 minutes or so.
I thicken with a flour and water slurry.
Gets my kid home from college.

@TdeV Here is my tried and true recipe for bierocks
Preheat oven to 375F
Filling: *note* Make the filling enough in advance so that it's all the way cool. Don't want to stuff dough with hot filling. Sometimes I make the filling the day before and keep in the fridge.
Venison burger (or hamburger...make sure it's well drained after cooked) about a pound
1 large chopped onion
Bag of coleslaw mix (or make your own or use just plain cut up cabbage--bag of slaw is a good time saver)
About half a cup or so of sour kraut
Salt and pepper
Caraway (I love the taste, but hating biting into the seeds, so I use ground)
Shredded cheddar cheese
In a large skillet, heat a bit of veg. oil and throw the onions in. Cook for a bit, then add your meat and seasonings. Cook until meat is done (drain if needed). Stir in the coleslaw mix (you might not want the whole bag--eyeball it--the meat should outweigh the cabbage by a bit. Let cool.
Dough:
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. water
6 T. butter
1/4 c. sugar
3 1/2 to 3 3/4 c. flour
1 T. yeast
1/2 t. salt
1 egg, beaten
Grease large bowl.
Combine milk, water, butter and sugar. Heat on stove until temp is 110F.
In mixer combine 3 1/2 c. flour, yeast and salt. Slowly add milk mixture and the beaten egg. Mix for about 3 mins. Increase speed to medium and mix until dough is smooth. If dough looks wet add more flour 1 T. at a time until dough clears the sides of bowl, but sticks to the bottom. Transfer dough to bowl and let rise until double.
When dough is ready, roll out into a square. Cut into smaller squares (I usually get 4, but you could get more if you make the smaller). Spoon filling into the center of each square and top with shredded cheddar. Pull opposite ends of each square together and pinch to seal seams. Turn over onto parchment covered pan. Bake in oven for 22-25 mins.
Thanks, I'll have to make this. I haven't had one since we moved from Lawrence, KS where we used to go to Runza's.

I'm not familiar enough to answer your questions about clams, squid, duck, or bitter melon. But I can make a trip up there to check it out.
The meat stew stuff they put over spaghetti is spelled chili.
Chile is the sweet/hot fruit of the vine.
I've never used chilli

Hey, if Rotus can hate on green bell peppers, I can hate on Cincinnati chili. I stand by my statement.
Also famous from Cincinnati is Goetta, which is pretty good.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetta
And Graeter's Ice Cream, which my wife and kids really like.

I live about an hour South of Cincinnati. We really don't get there all that much. We've been to a couple of museums and the aquarium, but very few restaurants and markets. They are known for Cincinnati chili, terrible stuff. Loaded with cinnamon and served over spaghetti noodles with fistfulls of cheap, orange cheese piled on top.
One interesting market is Jungle Jim's. I spent a couple hours in there just wandering around. I did manage to spend a good amount of money while wondering though.
If you need some reconnaissance, let me know.
