Kurt's Superbowl party yielded such a surplus of food that his guests, so full of homemade empanadas and wings -- served in copious quantities despite warnings from Stephen Colbert -- were unable to consume it all. Luckily, our dear friend Lena was available to emerge from the comfort of her Snuggie(TM) and help us out in tackling the leftover jalapeno poppers, goat cheese balls, and ravioli.
The ravioli are easy enough; simply coat in egg, roll in breadcrumbs, and place in basket. For the jalapeno poppers, we halved and seeded the peppers, then filled them with a mixture of cream cheese and monterrey jack, then egged and breaded them. Finally, the goat cheese balls are simply egged and breadcrumbed as well, but with panko (japanese breadcrumbs). They're all fried together at 350, but the ravioli are going to cook first, and they float so make sure you turn them manually after about 30 seconds. What could be easier.
Anyone with a penchant for inscrutable After School Specials will be tickled by clips of Ace Hits the Big Time (1985). This classic tale of a boy with a stye, whose therapeutic eye patch looks so tough that it gets him tapped by the Purple Falcons who are in a heated gang war with the rival Piranhas, and subsequently by a big-time movie director, and his unwavering conviction that cake triumphs over hate.
Finally, to answer Kurt's question about the career trajectory of Horace "Ace" Hobart portrayer Rob Stone...
It turns out his superbly nuanced interpretation of the role of Ace landed him a sweet spot on the cast of the beloved series Mr. Belvedere (1985-90). Looks like that fictional talent scout in Ace spotted a very real rising star!

Print it! I'd like to give a big CA VA to our international audience, Vincent et Sandrine.
Thank you for another fantastic episode!
P.S. I really like Lena's claw, which makes a brief appearance commencing at approximately 8:45 and ending at 8:46.
I don't remember a good 50% of that, but what a good reminder that was! Great work once again.
I hope my claw doesn't scare anyone. It's quite menacing.

This was inspiring Kurt. I am now more convinced than ever that I too can make cooking an every other day activity. Thanks! When will you start taking requests?
Anytime! Our production schedule is pretty open, so fire away.
The more I look at the Mr. Belvedere cast shot, the more obvious it is that Mr. Belvedere himself sired that entire brood. Sorry Ueck, you've been cuckhold3d.
