Long before Ratatouille came out and made the thought of rodents in the kitchen anything less than disgusting and a sure sign that the proprietor needs to have the lights dimmed and a board of health sign hung in the window, the rat-themed Chuck E. Cheese was welcoming in children of all ages (though single men over 40 going there would be met with a raised eyebrow) to munch down on unwholesome food and run their parents to the poorhouse requesting quarters to play their endless supply of arcade games.Those of us who grew up on the Canadian side of the Canadian-US border will recall with varying levels of fondness being trundled over to the place on a special occasion -- like the first time a "D" didn't stain a report card -- for meals. Indeed, in the 1980s, after mom and pop Canuck had finished making their contribution to the bankrupting of their country by cross-border shopping and filling up on cheap USA gas and smokes, they would often share their savings bounty with the kids by t

Cheese, glorious cheese. Or so says the Dairy Council. But it is general believed that cheese was made by a failure in ancient milk storing practices. From Wikipedia.org:
Since animal skins and inflated internal organs have, since ancient times, provided storage vessels for a range of foodstuffs, it is probable that the process of cheese making [...]

When we think about comfort foods, we tend to give in a bit more towards chocolate or desserts, but for some of us, savoury dishes go more towards comforting our palettes than sweet ones. I am one of those with a huge sweet tooth, and almost always give in to my dessert temptations; but lately, I'm trying to extend my skills by experimenting a lot more with new spices and herbs, and combining classic ingredients in a contemporary style to create a savoury tantalizing dish. This weekend, I decided to realize one of my whims - I'm a huge fan of muffins, and so I thought why not make a Savoury Muffin! when Indians think of comfort food, 9 people out of 10 zero in on "Paneer", or Cottage-cheese. So I too chose paneer as my main ingredient, then started adding other stuff, some inspired by my sense of taste and smell, some purely by instinct, and some simply because they are favorites!:) So what things finally made it into my muffins?? well, it was mainly Sun-dried tomatoes, cottage-cheese,

Baked Macaroni and Cheese is on my list of personal comfort foods. This is not the neon orange cheese food that comes in a box from Kraft (though I admit I love that as well), but rather a creamy concoction started on the stovetop, but finished to a crusty perfection in the oven. If you'd like something a little quicker you don't have to finish in the oven, but then you lose the combination of the crusty goodness along the edges and top mixed with the creaminess in the middle. I always use finely shredded sharp cheddar, but feel free to use your cheese of choice. For a sharper flavor, substitute a 1/2 cup of the cheddar for a 1/2 cup of blue cheese. This recipe is featured in one of my favorite cookbooks, the Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook, and made with little variation it's just that good. The only way to really mess this up is to use high instead of medium heat when using the saucepan. Ingredients assembledWhisk flour and melted butter until smoothAdd Milk and whisk until
The Appleton Post-Crescent is reporting that Disney has sought out a cheese carver from Little Chute to carve a cheese figure for the release of Ratatouille on Blu-Ray and DVD on November 6. Cheese carver Troy Landwehr planned to finish this week his cheddar rendition of Remy, the French rat and chef-in-training of Disney and Pixar's summer animated feature "Ratatouille." The carving will be delivered and displayed as part of Disney's "Ratatouille" DVD release party in Hollywood. says the article.In case you are wondering what cheese he uses, "Good ingredients, you know — we've got to start with quality Wisconsin cheddar," Landwehr said. You can watch a video of Troy carving the figure here.

MIXED MUSHROOM & GOAT CHEESE Ingredients8 oz mushrooms (I used an equal mix of Shiitake, Cremini, and Chanterelle)2 tbsp unsalted butter1 small onion, finely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary2 tbsp finely chopped chives1 tsp finely ground long pepper¼ tsp fleur de sel6 oz goat cheeseMethod1. Cut the mushroom caps in half and then into ¼ inch slices (throw the stems in the green bin). 2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Just as it begins to brown add the onions and garlic. When they get soft (around 4 minutes) add the fresh sage, rosemary, and long pepper. Stir and give these aromatics time to meet and mingle, just a couple of minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and let them get all wilted (5-6 minutes), they’ll reduce in size and but get concentrated in flavour, especially with those herbs.3. Crumble the goat cheese in a medium bowl and pour the mushroom mix on top. Stir together so that the cheese melts.

Normally for breakfast, I have a couple of eggs on toast with cheese. Cheese makes everything better, in my opinion.Today I decided to replace the cheese with slices of ham. I know! I know! It was a huge change for me. I nearly had a panic attack. (Okay, I'm totally joking about that.)But, the whole time I was eating my breakfast, I was thinking... why did I screw with a good thing? I'm definitely one of those people that think, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it."Ya know what I mean?
Because I worked two days of overtime a week or so ago and had a little extra $ after paying the bills, I divvied up the money amongst the offspring and told them they could spend it on whatever they wanted. The older female offspring bought CD's and Male Offspring #1 bought a magazine subscription to a "Psychology Today," otherwise known as "Playboy."So I took a gaggle of kids to the mall yesterday to let them spend their money. Male Offspring #5 immediately bought another Bible. What he's going to learn in this Bible that he hasn't learned from the 32 other Bibles he's bought is beyond me. Male Offspring #4 ran to the craft store and bought ...sigh...more twine. What can I say? At least I know what to buy him as gifts. Male Offspring #6 picked up the "Ultimate Gum Kit." I said, "Let's see if I have this right, you want to pay $29.95 for a kit to make gum, which costs about fifty cents a pack."He said, "Smart, huh?"I know I told them they could buy whatever they wanted, but I fel

Here's a cheese spread I used to put out on the bar at my restaurants. It has a real zip to it! It makes a great nosh at a cocktail party or a late night snack. I first tasted this type of cheese spread back in my college days; whenever we drove drove across the Ohio River into Kentucky, I'd encounter some of this zippy cheese spread in some of the bars we'd visit. Some cheese spreads call for chopped pimento, but I prefer the roasted garlic flavor. Try this recipe out and start experimenting with your own flavors!READ MORE...
Risotto and arancini are a recurring on these pages... this one is a quite straight-forward risotto. The arancini at the end are filled with more goats cheese and bacon.
Recipe I eat many times I love pizza so I am always creating new ways for pizza. I use multi grain tortillas then paint olive oil or other oils or butter on the tortilla then bake it in the oven until it is crispy or hard then take out of oven put toppings on. I use chunky salsa instead of pizza sauce because it gives it more flavor and a hot spicy taste. I put any kind of meat topping on like shrimp, beef, turkey, chicken, bacon or other. Most of time I add raw garlic or garlic powder, olives, onions, peppers, mushrooms or any other topping you like. Then add mozzarella cheese on top then put back in oven until cheese is melted. It tastes so good. - Buy Books Recipes - Buy Pizza - Buy Tortillas - Buy Salsa - Buy Olive Oil - Buy Mushrooms - Buy Garlic - Buy Onions - Buy Olives - Buy Mozzarella Cheese
I get a lot of flack for this, but I think Criss Angel is the hottest thing ever. I even said so on a very busy message board filled with gossiping women and I got a lot of "eeww, he's cheesy." I thought about it, and realized, OK, the man is a little cheesy. But I like cheese. The man oozes sex appeal down to his painted black fingernails. He definitely rocks the black nails better than Pete Wentz or Dave Navarro, I think. Yet he's a little metrosexual and tres dramatic. Call him what you like, I think he's hot. I'll bet he can make women's pants disappear.I heard he's dating Cameron Diaz. What is the deal with that? I see him with someone a bit edgier. I can't figure out who he should date. I guess that means he should date me.
Currently, we are just leaving ramp, fiddlehead, and morel season. Let it be known through-out the land. Actually I’ve just been told we are officially out of ramps season now. See, that’s how quick seasons pass. If you don’t grab foods when they’re fresh, you are out of luck—flavour-wise, and what other “-wise” is there? I tend to stumble into each season, wandering through a market I’ll spot, say, ramps, and immediately know I have to rush about trying to find out where they hid the morels and other vegetables that arrive at the same time. When I was young I was blissfully unaware that all foods had a season. Being city-raised as far as I knew, we had sweet corn simply because we were at the cottage. It was Fenelon Falls food, Hickory Beach food, like the green beans eaten fresh along the rows of the Harrison’s farm where we ran. We were on holiday and the food was just there. Now I know that my family cottaged at the end of July and August, the time that green bea
Greeks view the olive, the bread and the wine as symbols of life. The olive, the fruit of the sacred tree, is processed in many ways. Oiled or vinegared, they accompany practically all dishes.Bread is a necessary accompaniment to all meals. Often bread is served with Feta Cheese. Feta, which has been known in Greece for centuries, always accompanies their traditional country salad.I won´t say this salad is a Greek dish even though many ingredients are items of a Greek Country Salad. I have been to Greece twice and never did I see Feta Custard on the menues. I wrote down this recipe several years ago and don´t remember where it originated. This salad is a meal in itself; tremendously tasty and healthy.INGREDIENTS:Serves 4* 600 g salmon, cut into cubes* salt and pepper* olive oil* 1 large tomato, cut into chunks* ½ cucumber, cut into slices* 1 red onion, cut into slices* black olives* green olives* salt, pepper and sugarCROUTONS:* white bread, cut into roughfly 1 cm cubes* 2 cloves ga
Here's a clone for another of KFC's famous side dishes. We'll use easy-to-melt Velveeta as the main ingredient for the cheese sauce with its very smooth texture. Then a bit of cheddar cheese is added to give the sauce a sharp cheddary zing like the original. It's a very simple recipe that will take only 15 minutes to prepare. That's great news if you're a lazy cook like me who wants to dig right into the tasty vittles.6 cups water1 1/3 cups elbow macaroni4 ounces Velveeta cheese1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese2 tablespoons whole milk1/4 teaspoon salt1.Bring water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Add elbow macaroni to the water and cook it for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.2.While the macaroni is boiling, prepare the cheese sauce by combining the remainingingredients in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir often as the cheese melts into a smooth consistency.3.When the macaroni is done, strain it and then pour it back into the same pan, without the
“He was a wise man who invented beer,” Plato correctly noted, but it was an even wiser person that coupled it with aged cheddar to make soup. Come to think of it, it was probably a couple of people, the same ones that first mixed chocolate with peanut butter. I rooted around the lumber room of the internet looking for the history and found nothing. The origin of cheese predates recorded history and beer is one of the oldest human-produced beverages, so I’m assuming the recipe is likely as old. Beer (due to the brewing process) was safer to drink than the water and milk (which was usually preserved as cheese) so I’m sure the nomadic Turkic peoples sat around the yurt campfire eating this wonderful silky soup while listening to a Manaschi reciting some beautiful epic poem as the sun slowly nodded below the horizon and the stars began glistening wetly over the dry evening, they relined in the silent embrace of nature and nibbled peanut butter cups for dessert. Don’t quote me on
I'm back and it feels great!!!As I promised yesterday I'm itching to get back into the kitchen. After a busy week that included Biteclub I feel like cooking greek food. Or maybe "greek style food". Let's not get too involved with what constitutes "greek food". When I head into a greek restaurant on the odd occassion, I certainly don't see my mother and father's cooking on display. It's similar but not the same. Moving on...As I returned form the Fox Studios Farmers Markets with a whole bunch of goodies, my mind was racing about what I was going to prepare. I remembered the halloumi cheese I had bought the other day at Broadway. I looked at my banana chilles, and I thought voila!!! A marriage made in heaven. Halloumi cheese originates from Cyprus and is traditionally made from a mixture of goats and sheeps milk. Naturally its hard and quite salty and has very similar characteristics to mozzarella. It has Jekyll and Hyde characteristics though!!! Cook it and it goes sof

I always dreamt of opening a cheese shop, selling the best cheeses (most prominently from France) and good wines to go with them.If I'm ever going to fulfil my dream, I most certainly have to leave Appenzell first.Whenever I visit a market here, there are always two or three locals selling their home made cheese. You may go to any of the local supermarkets and find yards of cheese on display, most of it with signs that say 'Local Produce'. Driving around the area or hiking the mountains, even, you will see signs that pronounce 'Chäs vom Buur/Farmhouse Cheese'.I can spend hours at the various sales points, wondering whether to take the cheese from Village x, Cloister y or Alp z, whether I might prefer the raw milk, or the pasteurised and which of the goat's cheeses will be better.There are cheeses with caraway, bear's garlic, mountain herbs, peppercorns, olives, and you may choose between young, medium, mature or very mature - some of them even look as if they could move of their o
Every now and then someone asks me what it’s like living in the middle of the forest. These are generally not Swedish people. Swedes know what it’s like. Sweden is a forest.After we go through the standards (It’s quiet, It’s green, It’s private, It’s beautiful, and We got critters), the prospects of duck acquisition always come up.Where’s the closest grocery store? Do you have a movie theatre?How do you survive the winters?Which sometimes lead intoAre you depressed?Do you worship Satan?But that’s another blog.Sure, living in the middle of fucking nowhere has its complications. Brief answers to the aforementioned questions are:Our closest grocery store is 21 km / 13 miles away, in Grythyttan, a hustling and bustling center of economic activity. Here you will also find the gas station and the bank. The bank has been closed for about a year now, but is still a prominent feature of the town square.We do not have a movie theatre.
