I'd drop a couple of butter pats into each half and sprinkle on the black pepper liberally. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm was that a quick ride to heaven or what.

17. Tabouli
Olive Oil is one of my favorite foods and when mixed with tomatoes and bulgar to make Tabouli I get a smile inside and out. I mean think about it.

Black pepper teams up with lemon juice painting a tangy and spiced collage with a parsley paint brush. It all becomes a symphony of flavor to excite your senses and please your guests.
