A Man's Favourite Appetizer

Let me just tell you right now,,,,,the only thing your man will like better than this app is if you cook em in the nude.
Did I really just write that????

I'm serious.

This is an ole staple that I've cooked for years and years.  Fully clothed I might add.

Grilled bacon wrapped water chestnuts.

Can you say......YUM?

We had a function at the gallery last night and I decided to cook these up

So, here ya go.

Start with these ingredients:

soak the toothpicks for AT LEAST an hour (I didn't and I fried them)

cut the bacon into thirds TIP: Bacon cuts easier when it's REALLY cold

 Oh, I just had to show you these darling little bowls I found at Crate and Barrel this past weekend.
They look like they are larger than they are but they're actually really tiny.
Aren't they cute???

 Anyway....use WHOLE water chestnuts

 take a piece of the bacon

 and wrap it around the chestnut.  Then secure it with a toothpick

 Marinade them in Moores Steak Sauce
now...you can use Dales.  BUT it is really, really salty.

  Then throw em on a super dirty grill. (like mine)
yummerliciousness.

 Okee Dokee you prayer warriors out there!
