The Perfect Burger

I've always liked a good burger. McDonalds was ok but I did prefer Burger King, think maybe it was because they were bigger and the salad seemed fresh and crunchy. But since Tina has been making these burgers from scratch at home I haven't had one out since.
I don't know what she does but they taste amazing every time.

This recipe makes two large burgers, if you need more adjust the ingredients to suit.

500g minced/ground beef
1 large onion
salt & pepper to taste
cream cheese or raclette
1 chilli

Tina grinds her own beef, you can also use shop bought ready minced beef. Cut up the onion and mix with the beef.
Separate the beef/onion mix into four balls. Next you will need to use the burger press http://a-fwd.to/5Eo6oDJ
Press each ball into a flat burger.
Take one burger and put some of the cheese onto the middle then add the chillis (optional). Put another burger on top and then press the edges together making it one big burger. You will have to mould it a bit in your hands but it should all stick together.

Now you can fry them up until the burger is cooked all the way through and then serve it up in a nice roll with fresh salad and whatever sauce you choose. Oh and not forgetting a slice of burger cheese.

Bacon wrapped Jalapeno poppers.

Until recently I hadn't even heard of Jalapeno Poppers. But when we had a glut of peppers from the plants we had growing I did a quick search online to find something to do with them. That's when I came across 'Poppers'. It seems they are quite popular in the USA and this is my own take on them. For this you will need: Jalapeno Peppers, Thin bacon or Jambon cru, Cream cheese and then what ever filling you want to put with the cheese. First you will need to take your Jalapenos and cut them along the length, some people leave the stalks on to prevent the pepper from folding outwards. I take the stalks off as I have never had that problem. What you do is up to you! Now you will need to remove the seeds and the membranes. Next step is the Cream Cheese! Here you can try anything, it's just down to your own imagination. I have tried mixing the cheese with Sweet chilli sauce, dried chilli flakes and I have even cut up some hotter chillis and mixed those ...

Time to up our compost game.

The time has come! That's right the time has come to sort out our compost. We have had a compost heap for as long as I can remember, but what have we done with it? In short.....Nothing! So its now time to do something about it. This is what our compost heap looks like at the moment. It contains the usual suspects like grass cuttings and garden waste. The heap starts off fairly high and does indeed compost down quite a lot. But we never do anything with it. And with the price of compost getting more and more expensive we should really be using what we have got. So we built a temporary compost bin! I say temporary as we have some works planned for next year which shall include more permanent compost bins. But this will do for now, the plan is to compost all garden waste, kitchen waste and brown waste. Brown waste will be stuff like cardboard, egg cartons, egg shells. I'm not sure of the ratios that are needed, but I'm guessing to aim for ab...
