I thought I'd share our goodies with you. Enjoy some good eating; 
Elizabeth made bread to put smokies in; a Christmas morning tradition that we missed this year. Then I made a pan of sweet potato fries so we had a vegetable.
It's hard to believe but those are jalapeno poppers. I love them. Unfortunately I can only eat them if I make them. I am meticulous about getting every seed and every smidgen of pith (the white stuff) out of them. I also try to chose the largest and bluntest tip peppers I can find (I've heard those are the mildest). Andrew even ate one and declared them very good. I ate about 6, well really closer to a dozen, and 1 of them had a mild bit of heat to it but not enough to cause me to start coughing.
Our sweet plate;
My favorite chocolate butter cookie with melted chocolate chips on top, peppermint truffles, balsamic truffles, and date dingbats. The kids also had a root beer float. Everyone had plenty to eat.

notes: The white chocolate peppermint truffles were LOVED by the kids. I didn't really care for them; too sweet. The balsamic truffles were very good. The date dingbats were an experiment to make something for Angela that were wheat free. They didn't stay together very well (but I didn't really follow the recipe amounts very well either-I substituted rice chex for the rice krispies too) so I pressed them into a small cookie sheet and poured a can of sweetened condensed milk on top; then they stuck together but were VERY sweet. So 2 a day would be enough for anyone.
Hope ya'll had a great holiday and will wake refreshed and ready to start a new year tomorrow. Personally I wish there were a few more days in 2008.

I have several relatives who eat gluten free so I am becoming a pro at meringues. The favorite so far is coconut.
I am a LOVER of poppers! I bought a popper cooker at HEB and one at a craft show and have been known to make 30-50 at a time!!! These guys http://www.irondesert.com/?gclid=COedsoDN8pcCFQudnAod7xoXDQ at ChiliGrill, sell a "cleaner outer thingy" that is fabulous. I got mine when I bought the grill from them (3X as expensive as HEB) but it was worth it to get the "cleaner outer thingy."
I love those poppers...love em! Don't you find that there are never any leftover, I always feel like I should have made even more than I made!!! The one thing I'm always afraid of when making them is that some of the juice will squirt in my eye, I always wear glasses when cleaning the peppers! I'm going to check out that cleaner outer thingy Morah mentioned. Oh and yes, I think you are right about the bigger and less pointy tipped peppers being the best.
