Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place a little water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Cut open the lobster by inserting your knife just underneath the head and the cutting down, splitting the belly (body and tail). Remove the "inners" (heart, guts, etc., but not meat). Steam the lobster for 7 to 10 minutes and then remove from the pot.
• Stuff the Seafood Stuffing in the lobster's opening and top with the crabmeat.
• Place the stuffed lobster, belly-side-up in a roasting pan. Add the lemon juice and a little water to the bottom of the pan to keep the lobster moist while cooking. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or just until the claws begin to split. Do not allow the lobster to dry out.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and then add all the seafood and saute until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Mix in the crackers, and add lemon juice, wine, and salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Add the bacon to a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it's just starting to brown slightly and render its fat, 3 to 4 minutes. Add in the chopped onions and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and almost melting into the bacon fat, 30 to 40 minutes. If the pan starts to look dry or is browning too much, add a splash of water to deglaze.
• Stir in the brown sugar, cayenne pepper and grated garlic, then add the balsamic vinegar. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thick, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Pulse until the bacon is chopped slightly finer, 5 to 6 pulses.
• To serve, top the toast with the bacon jam and garnish with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small saucepan combine the buter and minced garlic-keep warm over low heat.
• Cook the lobster tails in boiling salted water until done-about 5 minutes.
• Drain and submerge in cold water to stop cooking process.
• Cut a lengthwise slit in the tenderloin within 1/2 inch from bottom.
• Open.
• Sprinkle with the lemon pepper.
• Remove lobster shells and discard.
• Place tails"tail to end" down the center of your tenderloin.
• Whisk butter-garlic mixture and drizzle 2 T.
• down lobster tails.
• Wrap beef around the tails and tie with cooking twine at 1 and 1/2 inch intervals.
• Place roast on a rack in roasting pan and sprinkle with lemon pepper.
• Roast uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meat thermometer will read 140 degrees for rare or 150 degrees for medium rare.
• Saute the shallots and mushrooms in the butter garlic mixture until golden.
• Add the wine and heat throughly, reducing just a bit.
• Remove roast and loosely cover with foil.
• Let stand for 5 minutes before carving.
• Cut into thick slices and offer the wine-butter sauce at table.

Steps:

• Clean and trim the radish bulbs of any errant leaves or roots. Coarsely grate the radishes with a box grater or food processor disc.
• Wring the excess water out of the grated radishes using cheesecloth, a kitchen towel, or paper towel. (They're more watery than you think!).
• Stir the radishes, scallions, softened butter, and salt together with a fork or pastry blender. Add more salt if needed.
• Scrape the butter into a serving dish and refrigerate for an hour to allow the butter to re-firm slightly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Line a sheet with foil and coat with butter or grease. (I didn't use foil and did not need).
• Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
• In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture.
• Cut the slices of bacon in half crosswise and wrap each pepper half in a slice of bacon, using a toothpick to secure the bacon.
• Arrange the peppers on the baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until bacon is crispy and browned. Serve immediately.
