Blue Cheese is proof that cheese is a living thing. It has it's own little microbial world.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 10:13 amI had the same thought. But my kids like carrots and Lima beans and are carnivores at heart. I don’t love sour cream myself-think theres a solution that doesn’t involved any whit cream based item beyond a form of milk? I’m weird don’t like ranch, blue cheese dressing (hard/crumbly is my jam though), sour cream. I’m sure it’s based on repressed memories from my childhood days in the confessional booth with a friendly priest but can’t otherwise explain it.

Just be sure you wrap it in a fresh piece of plastic wrap every time you use it.

Re: Food thread - All things food-related
Actually, plastic wrap is about the worst thing you can use to wrap real cheese. Cheese is a living thing. It needs to breathe. Plastic will promote sweating and encourage bad bacteria and an unpleasant plastic smell. If you don’t have parchment paper in your kitchen then GET OUT! PP or wax paper is the way to go. I use lightly waxed deli sheets as they are the perfect size and weight. You’ll also want to store your cheeses in least cold area of fridge. For me that in the northernmost part, the furthest away from the freezer and/or ice machine.get it to x wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 11:11 pm Just be sure you wrap it in a fresh piece of plastic wrap every time you use it.

Re: Food thread - All things food-related
If you know someone who has a Costco membership - at least near Thanksgiving/Christmas they usually have a two pack of large rolls for a fairly reasonable price. For me, who uses it when baking to avoid washing the cookie sheets, the pair last a couple of years...Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 12:38 pm Parchment paper is so expensive but now I know.

Re: Food thread - All things food-related
Just to add context, I buy small pieces of cheese and eat them over several days, no longer than a week. If it's a tad bit wet, it spreads nicely on a cracker.get it to x wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 7:21 pmNever had that problem with plastic wrap. I do use parchment paper in the kitchen.

Re: Food thread - All things food-related
Haven't eaten kasha since I moved to Lake Wobegone over 35 years ago. Made myself a bowl and cannot believe how good it tastes or how much it fills you up:
https://www.food.com/recipe/kasha-buckw ... eal-268976
In truth, I had not been aware that it is sold at Target's. How could I have missed it all this time? Dunno but am sure glad I found out.
When I asked the store clerk about where I could find it, he said he had never heard of this before. I mentioned how versatile it is as a side dish (cooked with beef stock) or as breakfast cereal or as an addition to pancakes. He sounded intrigued, bought himself a box, and thanked me for recommending it.
GREAT stuff.

Re: Food thread - All things food-related
Better plant yourselves some mulberry bushes/tress fellas, turns out the berries (really a fruit) are just the frosting on the cake.
Mulberry tea, anyone? Will be making some of this today. Might throw a little honey in there, got some strawberry mint growing all over the place, probably good with a little of that mixed in there too. Mulberries from the gods, leaves have all kinds of health benefits too.

Looks good. But as with my no bake cheesecake, I would have added some sugar to the mix as it enhances the flavor of the cheese. Alternately, I would lace it with some melted caramel syrup for added flavor. There's just no end to the many varieties of this delightful treat.

Re: Food thread - All things food-related
Okay boyz, it's mulberry tea time, both hot and iced.
Was all ready to say it's not all that great but it's actually pretty good. Tastes like a mild green tea, would definitely be good with some honey in it. The iced made with the strawberry mint in it is pretty darn good, refreshing and a nice flavor. A new little something, I like it.
Edit: Added some honey to the hot tea, definitely the ticket. Tasty.

Re: Food thread - All things food-related
Mulberry tea is known to be an excellent antioxidant. How are you preparing the leaves? In normal tea preparation, the leaves are slightly crushed which breaks up the cells then dried. Do you do this or just dunk fresh leaves.DMac wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 10:32 am Okay boyz, it's mulberry tea time, both hot and iced.
