Steps:

• In fry pan over medium high heat, warm olive oil.
• Add onions, season with salt and cook until onion is soft and translucent, 6-8 minutes.
• Add chorizo and cook, crumbling with the back of a wooden spoon, until meat is cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer chorizo mixture to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool to room temperature.
• Prepare a grill for indirect grilling over medium high heat.
• Cut 1/4 inch of top of each jalapeno pepper.
• Using a thin knife, hollow out centers of peppers, removing seeds and ribs; do not cut through the flesh (I got a special tool from WS to make this easier).
• Transfer chorizo mixture to small bowl, add cheese and stir to combine.
• Using fingers stuff the center of each pepper with 1-2 tablespoons of chorizo mixture, pressing it down to fill the entire pepper.
• Place filled peppers upright in the pepper roaster. (any lefover filling can be used for nachos or scrambled eggs).
• Place pepper roaster on grill over indirect heat, cover grill and roast until peppers are tender, 20-30 minutes.
• To test for doneness, insert a paring knife into the side of pepper; it it pierces easily the peppers are done. Interios peppers will be more crisp than those alonge the outside of roaster.
• Transfer roaster to a platter and serve poppers immediately.

ORANGE MADELEINES (WILLIAMS SONOMA)

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven, preheat to 375°F Using a pastry brush, heavily brush room-temperature butter over each of the 12 molds in a madeleine pan, carefully buttering every ridge. Dust the molds with flour, tilting pan to coat the surfaces evenly. Turn the pan upside down, tap it gently, and discard the excess flour.
• By Mixer: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, granuated sugar, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed until pale, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Sprinkle the sifted flour over the egg mixture and mix on low speed to incorporate.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the orange zest and half of the melted butter just until blended. Fold in the remaining butter.
• Divide the batter among the 12 prepared molds, using a heaping tablespoon of batter for each mold. Bake the cookies until the top springs back when lightly touched. 8 - 12 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and invert it over a wire rack, then rap it on the rack to release the madeleines. If any stick, use your fingers to loosen the edges, being careful not to touch the hot pan, and invert and rap again.
• Let cool on the rack for 10 minutes. Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the tops with confectioner's sugar and serve. Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. Before serving, heat the cookies in a 250F (120c) oven until warm, then dust with the confectioners' sugar.
