Goat Cheese Stuffed Apricots With Honey
I have a message for that guy who decides what day holidays are on. It’s awesome when he picks a day of the week, rather than a date of the month. He did a great job deciding on Thanksgiving and Easter, but a spectacularly awful job for Halloween and the 4th of July.
So I have some changes to propose to…that guy. Whoever he is.
The 4th of July should be celebrated on the first Friday in July, so that the 5th of July never has me sitting in an office trying to participated in work related functions with the remnants of my "casual get together turned late night party" still hanging onto me like a overly tired toddler. I do realize that if you name a holiday after a date, then it really messes people up if it doesn’t occur on that date, as in, "Are you coming over for The 4th of July on the 6th of July?" But, Holiday Naming Guy is to blame for that.
So my suggestion is that Independence Friday is now to replace (or rather move) Mid Week 4th of July celebrations. All the same patriotic fun with out the comprehensive country wide lack of productivity the following day. I might have to start lobbying for this as soon as I can beat the crap out of who ever invented Day Light Saving time, that Guy is a real A-Hole.
Goat Cheese Stuffed Apricots
12 apricots
6 to 8 ounces goat cheese
3 tbs raw honey
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Grab a small piece of goat cheese, about the size of the pit you just removed and roll it into a ball. Place it in the center of the apricot. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with pecans.
I also cut these in half again before serving, but that’s your call.

You crack me up! I totally feel you on sitting in the office after a midweek holiday. It sucks. The only good thing is that traffic was glorious today.
And btw, these apricots = AH-FREAKING-MAZING! Need to make this ASAP and use up that goat cheese in the fridge.

I SO know what you mean about the post holiday recovery. I was a wreck on Thursday. Oh, and I could eat 10 of these.

Holiday day picking guy totally bites. These apricots look good for a party and I bet they could heal you from an ill-placed holiday day.

I just came across your blog. To be honest I can’t read it anymore, well at least until after lunch! Your food looks so good, I’m starving now. Keep up the great work.
Cheers,
