I saw it for the first time yesterday and put it on my to make list. It looks so perfect.

Glad to quick get a picture of the last 3 of these before they got eaten. Picked some jalapeno gigantes. Stuffed with a 1 lb. tube of seasoned mild sausage, an 8 oz package of cream cheese and 1 cup of grated parmesan (I used parmensan/romano). Brown the sausage let drain briefly on paper towel. Add while warm to a bowl with the other ingredients. Mix well. Clean the peppers after cutting them in half. If you like them hot keep a few seeds in them. I cleaned ours thoroughly. Stuff after the filling is chilled, easier to pack it in. Wrap with a half slice of bacon. Bake on a rack over a cookie sheet at 325 for 45 minutes to an hour. Time varies depending on the pepper size and bacon thickness. Take out when the bacon is done. Yummy!!! I usually make up a batch of filling and today did the first 4 peppers out of the garden and easy to do some more this next week with the rest of the filling. It will keep just fine in the fridge.

I made a big mis-remember! The one I had was actually an Acme Juicerator - round, and when you looked down inside it had a basket. It looked a little like a washing machine, and it would get unbalanced in the same way.

Maybe they’ve improved on it now, but if I were in the market for a new one, I’d buy something more like the Champion; you can do a lot more with it.

My mouth is watering, luckily we will be eating soon.

Can someone please tell me how to get the sticky glue residue off of glass & plastic? WHY DO MANUFACTURERS TORTURE US THIS WAY?????

[Jamestown1630]

If you mean price tag residue, here are some ideas:

Also, sometimes Goo-Gone works. I’d be comfortable using it on glass, at least.

I saw the ones that pugmama posted; but did your Mom have a Falafel recipe, too?

[MomwithHope]

I would use a single edge razor blade.

“pugmama” Never heard of this one. Yes, the best you have ever tasted. A few secrets to boot—try and find them! (But I will give them to you.) Did you make the hummus?

[Jamestown1630]

I haven’t had time yet, but I will try it. That last batch was huge, and we’re still to get through it ;-)
