Passing our regular gas bar on the way to bowling we saw the price

Having a Hallowe’en party? How about this for your table? By the way, I am going to be sharing this on my local radio station next Tuesday.
Black Widow Goat Cheese Log
- SERVINGS: 12 servings

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 very large shallots, thinly sliced (2 cups)
- 10 ounces fresh goat cheese, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 ounces Greek feta cheese, at room temperature
- Black sesame seeds, for garnish
- 1 piquillo pepper, for garnish
- 6-inch painted twigs, for spider legs
- Crackers, flat breads and bread sticks
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter. Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Scrape the shallots into a food processor and let cool. Add the goat cheese, cream cheese and feta and puree until smooth. Scrape the cheese into a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Shape one third of the cheese mixture into a ball and roll in black sesame seeds to coat; shape the remaining two-thirds into a larger ball and coat with black sesame seeds. On a serving board, press the balls together to form the head and body of a spider. Cut the piquillo pepper into 2 small triangles and place them on the body in an hourglass shape. Serve with crackers, flat breads or bread sticks.
Have a great day’'

ReplyDeleteI thought it was quite something when I came across it. Sharing it on the radio will be fun.
DeleteThe USA is producing it's own gas/oil? That's news to me. our prices fell but not far and they are going up again.
ReplyDeleteJoJo, where have you been? Texas has always produced oil. Not sure where else though.
DeleteThat cheese log is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOur prices have hit about three bucks a gallon - that's cheap. And BP gas is all American.
Isn't it.
DeleteGas has always been cheaper in your neck of the woods. British Petroleum is all American???????
That cheese log sounds yummy. I think I'll be trying it - but maybe not as a spider given some of the family don't share my live and let live attitude to them.
ReplyDeletePity, the spider part is such fun.
DeleteAlex sent me over to see your spider and boy, is it frightastic. Love it. Wishing you an oogie boogie Halloween and congrats on your bowling.
ReplyDeleteIt's good isn't it? Thanks for the visit.
DeleteVery cool. Alex sent me directly to this post because of that spider.
DeleteI don't know if you have checked the radio link - top right - I talked about the spider there this week.
