The following is how I made today’s bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers.

  1. Put cream cheese in a bowl.  Throw in a random amount of cheese.
  2. Slice the jalapenos in half and cut out the seeds.  Think to yourself that maybe the jalapenos aren’t very spicy.  Take a bite of a piece.  Nope, they are very spicy.
  3. Wash hands.
  4. Get the bacon out of the fridge.  Cut 5 slices in half.  Well, roughly in half.  Whatever.
  5. Wash hands.
  6. Put the cream cheese in the microwave since it’s still not soft.  Melt the cheese you threw in.  Oh well, it’s fine.
  7. Scoop an even amount of cream cheese into each jalapeno half.  That’s even, right?jalapeno slices filled with cream cheese
  8. Wash hands.
  9. Touch the bacon.  Get out toothpicks.  Oops.  Do that the other way around.
  10. Wrap the jalapenos with half a slice of bacon and use a toothpick to secure.jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese wrapped with raw bacon secured with multicolor toothpicks
  11. Wash hands.
  12. Throw out the rest of the toothpicks cos you touched them after touching raw bacon.  
  13. Put the jalapeno poppers in the oven for 20 minutes.
  14. Don’t let them cool and eat a green one.  Yum, very tasty.  Try a red one.  Learn quickly that the red ones are the spiciest.cooked bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers on the pan they were baked on
