75g blue cheese

8 Brazil Nuts

16 jumbo raw cashews

24 large medjool dates

Equipment:

oven

baking paper

baking sheet

knife

microwave

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 375FRemove the pits from the dates by slicing them across the top from one end to the other with a paring knife and carefully prying the pit out with the tip of your knife.Stuff the cavities with a Brazil nut, 2 jumbo cashews or about half a teaspoon of blue cheese (goat cheese is also fab, if you don't like blue cheese)Wrap a strip of bacon around the date, making sure that both ends of the strip overlap some and to keep the seam neatly tucked under the dates. Set the finished dates on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 375F for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until bacon starts to turn golden and gets slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving. These stuffed dates are at their best warm but are also delicious cold.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
