adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Life: Make] Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers Want a super easy appetizer sure to please all of your friends hanging out watching the NFL playoffs or the Oscars? I find this one pleases both crowds and everyone in between. And it is SO. EASY. Ingredients: 20-25 fresh jalapeno peppers  
16 ounces cream cheese  
2 cups shredded cheddar (or jack or jalapeno jack or other delicious) cheese 
2  16 ounce package of thickly bacon or turkey bacon Directions: Cut stems off of peppers (or if you’re lazy like me leave them on) and cut them all in half longways Remove seeds from peppers Fill each pepper with cream cheese and sprinkle cheese on top Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around each pepper half Place on baking sheets and place in 450 degree oven for 12- 15 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked and looks crispy (and totally delicious) Remove and serve when cooled Note: Have a grill? Even a baby one like some of us city dwellers? Skewer them up - like in the photo above and fire up the BBQ. They’ll roast quickly, deliciously. Put a bit of foil below and it will protect them from any awkward sticking. Takes about 4-5 minutes on high heat.

    BACON makes everything better. The “bad” stuff always tastes so “good”. Everything in moderation…
