Skittle shots

Taste the rainbow? How about a rainbow with a hit!
You can create a sweet colourful vodka by mixing Skittles with vodka. The skittles dissolve almost whole and add the flavour.
On other websites they filter with a coffee filter. I didn't do that and got a little more white sugarfoam.

The downside is that it's still vodka and very strong. So mix it up!

Jalapeño poppers

Today at the supermarket they sold Jalapeño peppers.
I haven't seen those earlier, so time to try them out!
How hot they can taste is someting I learned the hard way. The seeds and inside of the pepper are super hot.
But when proper cleaned the outside tastes like a spicy bell pepper.

They're filled with cream cheese and oven baked. The bacon stuffed pepper tasted the best.
And it felt a bit like Russian roulette when eating them. Because if one wasn't cleaned properly then it would be super hot. But lucky enough that didn't happen.

Wash the sweet potatoes (and bake them in the oven for about 40 minutes)

When the potatoes are ready, scoop out some potato and mix with rest of the ingredients.

Ingredients:

• Sweet potato
• Corn, beans, jalapeno peppers, crème fraiche, grated cheese, cilantro, Mexican spicing

Shrimp bites

Today I made shrimp bites.
A snack cup with many different distinct flavors (shrimp, avocado, sour cream, chives, coriander, pepper, lime) and textures (toast, avocado, shrimp, chives).
This time the shrimps were prepared in the oven as test and that way they also taste nice. But next time I will just let them simmer with their marinade in a pan. That way they stay a bit more juicier.  


The snack cup could have been a bit thinner, but with every crunch you tasted a new flavor.
And off course presented on a nice plate.
