We have semi recently acquired a smoker. For all of you long running southerners, I know this seems somewhat like blasphemy. But I am from Seattle. So if anyone is to blame, it is my Texan husband. As it turns out, I am the one that bought HIM a smoker. Yeah, I know, right? So we have been making grilled and oven roasted bacon wrapped jalapenos for a long time now. Like a loooooong time. I am no stranger to bacon wrapped jalapenos. Mine have always had a mixture of cream cheese and my BFF goat cheese it it. Goat cheese makes everything better. If you disagree with that statement you can just go away now. Okay, fine, stay, but I reserve the right to like you just a little less. Personal differences aside, I think that if you DO make these, we can agree that smoking bacon wrapped jalapenos is a major game changer! Like damn. These were tasty. I loved them before. But I am now in love. My daughter informed me the other day she was in love with pudding pops, and that she was going to marry a pudding pop. Although that seems like a pretty one sided relationship to me, I would extend similar feelings to these smoked jalapenos.
You don't have a smoker. That's fine. You can of course use the same recipe and cook it in the oven. But if you do have a smoker, I highly recommend going that route.
Also, I made another last minute decision, which will now be a go-to upgrade. Honey. Yes! I added honey. It was a subtle flavor. But it definitely contributed to the salty and spicy flavors that were already going on. I can safely say, I will always be adding honey to my bacon wrapped jalapenos now. I already made a honey and goat cheese dip. I know the flavors go together. I thought to myself, hey, why not. It turns out that my impulsive nature is occasionally genius. Kinda like my choice to marry my husband after only knowing him 5 months. Yeah, crazy! And no, I was not pregnant. lol.
Ingredients/Instructions:
10 large jalapenos
8 oz goat cheese
4 oz cream cheese
2-3 tbsp chopped cilantro
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
20 pieces thin cut bacon
1. Halve your jalapenos, lengthwise, and scrape the seeds and the ribs from the jalapeno.
2. In a bowl, mix together, room temperature cream cheese, goat cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Add honey and cilantro and mix again.
3. Use a spoon to generously fill the jalapeno halves. The filling should be just above the top of the jalapeno.
4. Wrap the jalapenos with bacon. Place them on a baking sheet wrapped with foil.
5. If you are cooking them in the oven... bake them at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
6. If you are using a smoker... this is what we did. Smoke for 2-4 hours depending on smoker temp (ours was 2 1/2 hours at 225 degrees). We had it in there with the brisket we were smoking. So our cook temp was centered around the brisket. If you are smoking something else that is at a different temperature, that will effect the cook time of the jalapenos.
Allow those little f-ers to cool before eating. For real.
Enjoy!
The way most of us use Network Manager
Developers working on GNOME’s NetworkManager tool are seeking your help.
The hope is to gather feedback on what features of the Network Manager are useful, where it can improve and, importantly, how it compares to the command-line Network Manager compares.
The Ubuntu manpage describes nmcli as:
“…a command‐line tool for controlling NetworkManager and reporting on its status. It is not meant as a full replacement for nm applet or other similar clients but as a complementary utility to those programs. The main usage for nmcli is on servers, headless machines or for power users who prefer the command line.”
Didn’t know there was a terminal-based Network Manager Client (nmcli)? Then this survey might not be for you.
If you have used it, or are capable of giving it a go for the benefit of this survey, do share your opinions.
The survey will help GNOME developers understand how people use the client, highlight areas where it is lacking, and reveal what they can (hopefully) do to improve it.
“We especially want to learn about how useful do people deem the command line interface and what are the areas we should improve in.”
You can let them know your thoughts by filling in the form below.
NetworkManager Usage Surveydo you ever buy postcards, not to send to anyone, but as a small memento of a visit somewhere?
Last week I couldn't resist picking up the top photo, of Hunstanton, in the Rock shop.
My Lovely sister in law popped the bottom one in with my birthday prezzie......she is so thoughtful..........
I know I take loads of photos, but I still love a printed image and they are so inexpensive.
I think my favourite postcards are not photos though....but art of various sorts.
They don't have to be of the place we have visited to bring back memories.
I love these cheerful postcards I bought on a rainy seaside visit back in 2012..........
They made me smile when the weather wasn't kind. Read about that visit HERE.
These colourful Janet Bell images are wonderful don't you think.
I bought them last year in Cornwall, and they remind me of a day spent at PORTH BEACH, even though they don't feature images of the place it's self.............
Here's a lovely postcard sent to me by Heather......I love it's cheerful flowers and it reminds me of a happy giveaway win.............
This little picture is not really a postcard, but part of a letter.
When I left home at 18 years old mum wrote to me in my student accommodation. This sweet drawing was at the bottom of one letter. I loved it so much I framed it and hung it on the wall...........
It's tiny, smaller than a postcard, and the van is my first car.....a little red mini van....happy memories.
This week, for the first time in ages, I've been enjoying a little drawing.........With my favourite old pencils.......
In my messy drawer I came across these...........
They are blank postcards............I could design my own postcard, but what to draw?
The paper is really for painting on so it's quiet rough, but I like that they have the lines on the back, ready for a message and a stamp.............
What did I draw?
Featuring that clover munching hare and my favourite butterfly...........
A little memento of a happy time.
This was a sweet and simple Saturday morning project that I really enjoyed doing.
Do any of you lovelies have a postcard collection?
On Wednesday I planned another long walk....brisk and sweat inducing to count as a good work out......for various reasons I'm not running at the moment.
It was a cool, hazy morning. I walked along the roadside on a country road with no footpath
