ABT Virgin
 

Today I will make my first-ever ABTs :clap2:.

A friend from ELk Grove, IL brought up 2+ pounds of Japs (.49¢ a pound!!!) :becky:.

Ready to get de-seeded and deveined....ready for a quick soak in water......:bow:

Outstanding. On your next batch (it won't be long....), I'd recommend leaving the ends on and snipping the stems only. It helps keep the filling from oozing out when they're cooking.

Great job - keep the pics coming!

Writing down in my notebook...........

looking good you are off to a great start

Have Fun With It!!!!

That's the right way to start 'em!:cool: Can't wait to see the end result.

Keep the pics coming...lookin good...

Gonna fill with pulled pork, too.

First of all, we have some severe weather, so the awning had to go up.

All wrapped up and ready to go.

NOw the neighbors keep stopping by to "check" when they'll be done.

On little tip for a ABT noob -- especially if you are drinkin' beer while making them. When that beer reaches your bladder, use extreme caution when you decide to relieve yourself. Touching one's junk after cutting and cleaning a bunch of jalepeños can drastically alter one's comfort. :shocked:

It doesn't hit you right away. It takes a few minutes.

Yes, I learned the hard way. :rolleyes:

CD

And....the money shots......

And a few plated.

People came LOOKING for me to tell me how much they liked them.

Nice, Jeff!

OUCH! Great advise.:flame:

You had me at the begining, but the pulled pork put it over the top .....AWESOME :thumb:
