Well that was quick. Just yesterday I mentioned that any day now someone will snatch me up for a job. Sure enough shortly after applying to a couple jobs yesterday morning I got a phone call from one asking to set up an in-person interview. An hour later I had a confirmation e-mail for an interview on August 18th! I should foretell things more often on this blog – it’s magical. I did just apply to two more perfect-for-me jobs O:-).

Goat Cheese Stuffed Bacon, Peach, & Basil Burgers 2

To celebrate this crazy turn of events lets have some fun with our food by combining meat and fruit into one crazy-awesome burger. This burger starts off decently normal with a little pepper mixed into the meat and bacon for topping but then you stuff some goat cheese in the patty and add peach chutney, peach slices, and basil on top. Sounds weird but tastes delicious. If you are skeptical assemble it with everything but the peach slices, but put them on the side to try. I bet they will end up on that burger if you give them a chance.

Bring on the Bacon!

I will definitely trust you on this flavor combination, unusual as it sounds. Last summer we stopped at Snake River Brewing in Jackson Hole WY and THE BEST pizza on the planet. It had chorizo, peaches, BBQ sauce, goat cheese – and in the non-peach season they apparently do it with figs. So I’m putting this on my list of recipes to try. :-) And I sure hope one of these companies is smart enough to hire you.

Gourmet burger for sure. I know basil, peaches, and goat cheese go well together. Sounds like perfect burger toppings!
