What to Make

Bacon-wrapped barbequed water chestnuts

Marinate a can of whole water chestnuts in soy sauce for at least an hour. Then wrap them in half a slice of bacon each and hold in place with a toothpick. Bake them at 350 degrees until the bacon is cooked. Remove and cover in barbeque sauce. Cook again for another 5-10 minutes until the barbeque sauce is all nice and bubbly. Remove and allow to cool. Okay fine, don't. Remove, attempt to cut in half so they fit in your mouth and then proceed to the freezer for some ice to soothe the burns on your tongue. I suggest the former method rather than the latter. Either way, they're a great appetizer idea.
