Although these aren't all really "side dishes", I'm putting them here because they are not "main dishes".

The first is cherry-smoked bacon (makes incredible BLT's!) and the second is a salad of "gourmet cucumbers" I get in my supermarket, with edible nasturiams that I grow.

Hey, I GROW the flowers OUTSIDE!! LOL!

Oh, I almost forgot the ABT's - a requisite when smoking other things!

What all is involved in this? looks interesting.

Thanks for the nice words, LS!

ABT's are "Atomic Buffalo Turds", and if you type that phrase into NCT's "Search", you will see that a bunch of us make them.

Here's an example of a good thread started by Love2Q http://www.netcookingtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5458&highlight=Atomic+Buffalo+Turds

Briefly, while wearing disposable gloves, I cut the jalapenos in half, lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes. Stuff with cream cheese. Top with a half of a cocktail frank (optional - I don't do that anymore), and wrap each cheese-stuffed pepper with a half a slice of bacon (I cut them in half lenthwise, with scissors). Smoke, grilll or roast until the bacon is crisp.
