Title: Blue Cheese. Or, if you prefer, Bleu Cheese
Post by: Reacher on May 10, 2023, 03:39:52 PM: I’ve been really feeling the blue cheese lately. The good stuff. Not the Kraft et al. My usual go to is Marie’s Raspberry Vinaigrette which is absolutely killer with red onions, Kalamata olives, and sliced carrots (on a salad of course). Has to be romaine.

Some baked chicken breast with lemon on a salad with blue cheese has been my jam lately. Anyone else feeling the bleu cheese?

Post by: illiniray on May 10, 2023, 03:43:16 PM: Are Roquefort and blue cheese the same thing?
Roquefort is a French version of blue cheese. It's made from fresh and unpasteurized sheep's milk and gets its blue veins from Penicillium Roqueforti fungus, initially found in the soil of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon caves, where the cheese comes from.Sep 9, 2022

They're discussing cottage cheese in the recruiting thread.

Post by: Reacher on September 27, 2023, 01:14:16 PM: Still hammering the blue cheese salads. Although I made a pretty big mistake last week. Saved .50 cents by buying Marie’s Super Chunk blue cheese. Should have stuck with the Marzetti’s it’s just plain better. Don’t repeat my mistakes. This has been a public service announcement.

Not if you’re into texture. I love a steak that virtually melts in your mouth.

I'm not saying Filet is bad. Just overrated. You can do the same with a New York strip or a ribeye.

Post by: No one in Mn on October 14, 2023, 07:23:35 AM: New at the Wild home games this year is the chicken sausage on a bun, with cole slaw and blue cheese crumbles. A bargain, I'm sure, at only $16.
No charge for the skewers tho.

Fishing is done and the boat is cleaned up and gets stashed away tomorrow.
A tough end to the season tho. The massive perch hatch this year moved out of the dying weeds and the walleye had more than enough food to eat. We outsmarted a couple of them tho.
