If that shit was as healthy as touted, people would be cured of all ills just by opening the package in their house.

I don't buy all the hype, either. But I do have a pink Himalayan brick for baking/freezing, and I love it.
 
Has Laurel diversified?

I have just finished a block of cheese bought from Tesco's delicatessen.

It is labelled:

Laurel's Farm Red Leicester and is described as "Open texture with a mellow zesty flavour".

It was a good cheese.

Thank you, Laurel.

Edited to add:

Laurel Farm (not Laurel's Farm) is the source of the infamous Stinking Bishop cheese:

Anyone have experience with Gnudi? I'm intrigued. And I need cooking inspiration.

Only gnocchi, I'm afraid. I know that gnudi are supposed to be lighter and more pillowy than gnocchi, but I put my potatoes through the finest screen of my food mill and I have never had an issue. My gnocchi are super light and soft. After boiling I then finish/fry them in very hot butter and kick up the richness, but they are still super soft and fluffy. Keeping them nice and small is the key.

I have also been wanting to try gnudi, but thought because of the moisture content of the cheese that they might actually turn out heavier than the gnocchi. I think the flavour twist would be nice though.

I've made something very similar. Roman gnocchi. They were soft and pillowy with that semolina bite. Made it with a Roman type tomato sauce. They were a lot better than what I'd expected.

If you have Netflix, there is a great episode featuring Gnudi on In The Mind of A Chef, with April Bloomfield from the Spotted Pig, in New York. She made a Brown Butter & Sage Gnudi that looked awesome.

Well, I know what I'm binging on next.
 
My daughter and I attended a cooking demo on Tuesday night, at our favorite cooking supply store. Seven years old, and she has really taken a shine to cooking with her dad and mom. The folks at the store, friends of ours, were happy to see her attend.

This weekend we (father / daughter team) will be making homemade lobster ravioli with black truffle oil, and chocolate mousse, two of the many dishes featured on Tuesday night, that the chef graciously furnished the recipes for.

My little girl practiced folding and sealing 'ravioli' last night, using wonton wrappers. She is so stoked for the weekend, and wants to make the ravioli - dough, filling, and the finished envelopes of deliciousness - for everyone, herself (maybe with dad helping out here and there).

She thinks she can handle it all. And I believe her!
 
Yellow curry with potatoes along with the chicken?

Yes, and I think I'm going to roast carrots and add them in towards the end. I haven't made curry in a while - I'm craving it something fierce.
 
Yay, Topamax! I've had a glass of wine for dinner every night since Monday. :heart:

With just enough heat in it to make your forehead sweat?
 
I was going to make some cherry ice cream tonight, but I got lazy and just threw the cream, a bit of sugar, powdered vanilla in with a small bowl of frozen cherries and it all froze, tastes pretty good though.
