Bryan,

As If!:D No, I was actually attempting to "soak" in the hotel tub, yet as we all know they are too shallow! And with too many parts out-of-the-water, it is easy to get cold, and want to exit said tub faster than neccessary.:o

In any case, was in a cab this morning, going to the local grocery, when the driver almost hit the curb, as a very hot latina girl was standing on the corner! Ha!:p

(Am sure she could have been an actor on one of the above mentioned sites!)

In any case, I have just prepared a low-cost appetizer:
Vegetable Skewers:

Cut into quarters the following:

Red bell pepper
Green bell pepper
White onion
4 mushrooms (of choice)
1 Cumumber
1 Squash

Thread vegetable portions onto skewers, and top with cherry tomatoes.

Spray entire skewer with vegetable oil or brush with butter.

Grill on low heat for 30-40 min, turning often.

Enjoy!

Devil's Eggs
Eggs (as much as you'd like to make)
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
Chopped Chipotle
Grounded Cayenne Pepper
Sharp Cheddar cheese, thin slices
Lil' Mayonnaise (Not miracle whip)
Ground Black Pepper
Dietz and Watson Champagne Dill Mustard
Salt

--------------------
1) Hard boil the eggs for a good 15 minutes

2) Slice Eggs cleanly in half, with a spoon, carefully remove cooked yokes into a bowl. Place egg whites on separate plate.

3) Put in Mayo, Mustard, and Ranch dressing. Mix vigrously, if what you have is a chunky pile of yellow and who knows what else, add in a little bit more of all the previously added condiments. The end result should be a thick, yellow collection which can be formed and stay still. If its drippy, you need to add in another egg cooked egg yoke.

4) Add in chipotle, Black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, and chipotle. Mix it around once again, then place into your egg whites with a spoon. Fill in the hemisphere and spread the mix over the circumference and onto the rest of the white, using the back end of a spoon.

5) Add cheddar cheese on top, sprinkle with cayenne. Then serve.

The finished result is an extremely delicious party snack with a bit of a kick. Heaven during the boxing match, hell in the morning.

Best hot bean dip EVER!
 

I had this over the past weekend, and good gracious it's good! :D
All under $20 too. I based it on a recipe I found here. I added a few ingredients, and took a couple out. Feeds about 6 or so, just double it for more guests to enjoy! Here it is:

Ingredients
1 can- Refried beans (I used Old El Paso brand)
1 can- Tomatoes & Diced green Chilies (Ro-Tel brand)
1 can- Tomatoes with onion and green pepper (Del Monte brand)
1/2 cup- Sour Cream
4oz- Cream Cheese softened (I used 1/2 of the 8oz rectangular box)
1/2 oz- Taco Seasoning (Half of 1oz packet)
1 pkg- 3 Cheese Blend (Shredded)
1 pkg- 4 Cheese Mexican Blend (Shredded)
1 can- Diced Jalapenos

Directions

Mix softened cream cheese and sour cream together in a bowl until no longer lumpy, then blend in the refried beans, taco seasoning, and about 1/2 cup of each of the cheeses. Spread into a 9X9 casserole dish. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. While the bean mix is baking, strain then mix together the tomato & green chilies with the tomato with onion & green peppers. Remove the bean mix from the oven, and spread the mixed tomato slop in an even layer over the mix. Top with a generous portion of the 3 cheese and 4 cheese blends, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melted. You can either use the diced jalapenos in the mix, or serve on the side. Serve with baguette slices or tortilla chips. Enjoy :cool:
