Fourth of July Food

This is Tom - a BBQ master on our block. Look at those loaded skewers! A scene from our neighborhood 4th of July block party.
Stuffed jalapenos - cream cheese, cheese, bacon and seasonings. Some were really hot, others weren't. It was a burning mouth lottery.

Jalapeno Popper Shots

Yeah, we've all had jalapeno poppers before...but these are different. This is an appetizer at the Spotted Donkey Cantina in Scottsdale, AZ - as Eat Boise is still sharing food from a mini-vacation. These are fresh jalapenos stuffed with cheddar and bacon and encrusted with a light tortilla batter. They're dunked in a cilantro buttermilk sauce. If you know of any Boise restaurant offering something similar, let me know because I'd love to eat them again soon.
