Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Shock here, too!

First time I've accidentally done that!

Tell a lie.

Second.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Hmmmm.

It was ages ago.

Someone had accidentally double posted and when I tried to fix it I ended up deleting totally the wrong post.

Seriously, DeeDee. I am really sorry.

I would never delete anyone's post on purpose.

Never.

Maureen (Mews) (mews) | 711 comments Do they have tinned condensed milk out there Patti? Maybe a spot of that would do.

No scrap that, it might make it too runny and mushy then. Lol there is a good reason I don't cook much.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments We do have cream cheese at the moment. Or would that be too sweet?


message 557: by Maureen (Mews) (new)

Maureen (Mews) (mews) | 711 comments Hmm could give it a try and do a bit of a taste test while it's cooking, then add a bit of salt if need be.

Like I said though, there is a good reason I don't cook much ;-)

Don't know if anyone was after it, but I suggested to put the recipe that hubby's grandmother (proper Welsh lady) used to use when making hers. Hubby makes big batches of them at Xmas time, we usually scoff them down like there's no tomorrow !

No I don't like cheddar.........I'm really annoyed that 2 out of 3 of the nearest supermarkets to here have masses of cheddar (which is from the other side of the country) & NO WENSLEYDALE (which is from just up the road)

My grandson is a Wensleydale addict, thanks to Wallace and Grommitt, and he is only 3.

You have to be careful if you see cheddar on the menu in America as it's used as a generic word for processed cheese slices over there. I've been very disappointed in the past...

Ah cheese... The savoury rival to chocolate. So many lovely varieties.

You want to try and get hold of Wensleydale down south! It's even tougher to get Cheshire.


Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments Coming from the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area I love white stilton, its nothing like the traditional blue, but you can only get it occasionally and towards Christmas its in the supermarkets but with cranberries & apricots, (not the same at all) the plain is wonderful, its a bit like caerphilly/ wensleydale/ lancashire ish, crumbly, white and a bit 'beery' tasting.


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments I love Stilton too Lynne. Caroline, we can send food parcels.


message 576: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments just plain old cheddar does it for me, that and the cheese you get like a sausage. i dunno what it is it never lasts long enough to read the label. I used to get a chunk of Edam cheese as a treat when i went to the local grocers with my mum, i do love edam...


message 577: by P.A. (new)

P.A. Fenton (pfenton) | 151 comments Ooh, cheese talk.

If I had to choose one cheese to eat for the rest of my life, it'd be Parmigiano Reggiano. Years ago we went to a friend's wedding in Tuscany, and they had a whole wheel of the stuff out at the pre-reception drinks. There was a fork stuck in the middle of it, so you just dug out what you wanted. Superb.

Also a fan of a good Comte in winter.


message 578: by Patti (baconater) (last edited Oct 03, 2011 01:23AM) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Mmmm Parmigiana Reggiano...I had a dish of artichoke hearts bathed in olive oil then covered in a thick layer of shaved Parmigiana Reggiano in Rome. It was meant to be a starter but with some lovely bread it made for a wonderful main. Fantasic family-run restaurant with huge portions. Dave and I found ourselves returning there every time we got peckish.


message 579: by P.A. (new)

P.A. Fenton (pfenton) | 151 comments When we visit Tuscany, my wife and I will often make a meal of just a wedge of Reggiano and a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino.

Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments Paul if you like comte cheese, try the Beaufort, its magic. We bought a kilo in the cheese factory and almost ate it all in the car park.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Oh, cheese! With home made chilli jam (made with home grown chillies tomatoes and onions) and home made bread. Oh, I might have to have a lie down for a minute!


message 582: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I served a rather nice cheese board Saturday night. A roquefort, a smoked cheddar, a creamy French sort of Brie that I can't recall the name of and a couple others...with quince paste and a homemade chilli chutney that one of the guys here made. In spite of everyone being completely pogged after the curry the cheese board was demolished.
My bestest friend got back yesterday so we're going to her's for dinner next weekend. Can't wait to see what goodies she brought.

Beaufort, noted. Thanks Lynne.


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments When I was a lad I used to do a lot of cycling. One place I used to go to was a ford in Catherine-de-Barnes. On the way was a small general store with its own bakery. I would stop off and purchase some Cheddar, a cottage loaf and some fresh tomatoes. I'd then go down to the ford and have a picnic, sometimes with friends and sometimes alone.

Heaven.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I've just sorted the leftovers into ready meals for the freezer. Got six. That's after Dave having three curry meals yesterday and another for breakfast this morning. I have no idea how many people he thought he was cooking for. Grief.

I'm doing your prossie sauce again tonight, Geoff. Going to serve it with grilled polenta and homemade spicy pork meatballs. I can't face another curry for a while.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Hope it wasn't the Cornelius Curry Patti? No wonder your air conditioning's been on the blink!


message 587: by Maureen (Mews) (new)

Maureen (Mews) (mews) | 711 comments Do you have a recipe for the spicy pork meatballs, Patti? I usually cook for the family on Boxing Day (I like to give mum a rest since she cooks for the whole family on Xmas Day). It know it's awhile away yet..lol...but I am already looking for ideas. The meatballs and Geoff's sauce might work a treat for that. ;-)


message 588: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I don't really have a recipe, Maureen. I'm just going toss a finely chopped onion, loads of garlic and chilli, an egg and maybe a few breadcrumbs if it's too wet in with some minced pork, shape into balls and fry them up. I might have a nose through the spice cupboard and add a dash of herbs or something, too. I'm using pork mince cuz there's no beef here at the moment. Could use lamb, too. Or turkey or chicken mince but they may be a bit dry.

The chicken curry wasn't too bad at all. It was nicely hot without destroying the flavour. Dave did a great job of it.


message 590: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Erm. I think I may have put too much garlic in the meatballs. My house reeks. Devoid of vampires, though.


message 591: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments You can't have too much garlic. I love the 'reek'.


message 592: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Just took them from the oven. They're quite nice. Friend here suggested baking them rather than frying them as they hold their shape better. She was right. Easier too. Sauce is simmering, polenta ready to pop under the grill. Dinner will be ready when the smoke alarm goes off.


Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments Oh Ignite, you can have too much garlic, the aioli here is so powerful, I can eat it but I really hate myself the day after. I have one friend who eats so much of it I have to leave the windows open when she's been here. (Still its supposed to kill off ones worms);o)
