Spicy Cheese & Bacon Loaf.

If you love cheese and bacon you will love this. It's great served up as a meal or cut up to share at a party.

You will need: 1 Baguette
   2cup/8oz/240g cream cheese
   1 red pepper (diced)
   1cup/4oz/120g mozzarella (grated)
   1cup/4oz/120g cheddar cheese (grated)
   1tsp ground pepper
   2tsp hot chilli flakes
   3 packs of bacon/jambon cru

First of all you will need to cut the Baguette in half length ways and hollow out the middle.

Mix the cheeses, pepper and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Stuff both halves of the baguette and place the halves back together again.

Wrap the baguette with the bacon or jambon cru.

Bake at 180ºc/350ºf/gas mark 4 for approx 25mins

Tina made this for us the other night and it went down a treat. You don't have to use chilli if you are not up to spicy food. We use Jambon cru instead of bacon as we are in France and Jambon cru is easier to get hold of (and cheaper). We also use Cantal cheese instead of cheddar.

Give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

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...
