Creamy goatcheese with pomegranate
Creamy goatcheese with pomegranate and chives
Wow… if you are reading this, that actually means that it worked! You might have wondered where I went to the last couple of days but I have been very busy behind the scenes with changing over all my websites (and there are six in total) from one host to the next.
My friend and Dutch blogger Kay from Kayotic Kitchen first alerted me to the fact that maybe I was paying just a bit too much on my hosting package and then when I went to Germany Meeta told me pretty much the same thing. Time for me to start looking at other options.
While I have been really happy with my hosting company the fact of the matter is that I am now going from something like 1200 euro per year to a total of 90 dollar a year… That is too big of a difference to dismiss!
I’ll spare you all the nerve wrecking details, but as I said; if you’re reading this.. it is working!!
What else is going on here; I had my second meatcourse which I will tell you all about later. I had a couple of really fun cupcake shoots and in the meantime I am starting to think about Christmas menu’s.
It’s been difficult getting my head into cooking mode with all that is going on. On top of that I am also worried what January 1st is going to bring. With Tom still looking for a new job and the change over to the studio it’s quite a bit of changing around here lately but that’s ok. Change is what makes the world go round right?
So to give you a lovely and very tasty recipe I am bringing you this creamy goatcheese with pomegranate which is fabulous as a quick lunch spread but would also be ideal for any party. Try it you’ll love it!

Hey there Simone!
I missed you :0) and am glad you are back to the blogosphere. I was laying low for a while, a lot of writing for school, and now we have friends visiting from the US for an Irish Thanksgiving! So, we just made a batch of cheese and it is ricotta like, and now I am going to use this recipe for an appetizer this evening!
Perfect timing :0) I do not have a pomegranate but have some beautiful persimmons so will make do with that. Welcome back and can’t wait for the meat course update xx

he Mona! Yes it was a nerve wrecking process and I’m surprised that all the checking I did actually paid off. Only one site is still not entirely the way it should be but most of them are up and running with just a tiny few glitches..
It’s just takes sooo much time! I think this will be brilliant with ricotta and persimmons! Meat course update will follow soon! We did lamb and pig..

Delicious with fresh homemade bread! And so prettily presented.

As a goat cheese-lover, this dish is calling my name!
Good to hear and see you’re back in business (and what a difference switching can make!). I understand your worries about the uncertain future. I truly hope everything will eventually work out well and that the worries disappear very soon. Let 2012 be a wonderful year:)
