I have to admit every time I see blue food, I want to eat it. And
blame it on Dave and Michael Loo.

The only ones I'll eat are Blueberries, Saskatoonberries,
Elderberries, plums, Concord grapes and Penicillin laced cheeses.

I found some orange cheese with a white edge in my fridge today. Picked
the white off. Had it been blue I probably would have just eaten it!

Continuing the orange theme ...

(I had to look up both Arrows and Ogunquit as they are quite
obscure; the back stories are interesting.)

Categories: Fish, Chinese, Sauces, Fruit, Vegetables
Yield: 6 Servings

Cod's not a favorite, but burnt orange and star anise would cover darned
near anything.

I've cultured blue mold on purpose by inoculating cream cheese ...
layering several slices of blue cheese and cream cheese on top of
each other and setting it aside at room temperature for a few days.
Blue cheese is expensive, cream cheese is cheap, making my own is
fun.



Cheers

Sounds like a good experiment. If all else fails it's a cure for
constipation.

inoculating cream cheese (with) blue cheese

Sounds like a good experiment.

Not really; it's more of a tried and true technique.

If all else fails it's a cure for constipation.

The result is perfectly wholesome.

Blue cheese and pears make such a wonderful pairing:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Pear And Blue Cheese Canapes
Categories: Appetizers, Sandwiches, Fruit, Cheese
Yield: 6 Servings

1 Ripe pear
150 g Dorset Blue Vinny or
Stilton Cheese
Thyme leaves
A little runny honey
Freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE CROSTINI:
12 Small, thin slices of
Baguette or sourdough bread
Olive or rapeseed oil

Preheat the oven to 190 C, gas 5. To make the crostini, lay the
slices of bread on a baking tray, trickle with oil and bake for
5-8 minutes, until crisp and golden. Set aside.

Peel and core the pear and cut into 1cm cubes. Cut the cheese into
similar-sized cubes. Put a couple of cubes of pear and a couple of
cheese on to each crostini. Sprinkle each crostini with a few
thyme leaves, trickle over a tiny bit of honey, then grind on some
black pepper to finish.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Kurt's Quick Fondue
Categories: Fondue, Cheese/eggs, Appetizers, Seandennis
Yield: 1 Pot

1/3 lb Gruyere cheese
1/3 lb Gouda cheese
1/3 lb Fontina cheese
1 c White wine*
2 T Corn starch
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of cracked black
-- pepper
Loaf of French bread
Cherry tomatoes

* = I used Sauvignon Blanc.

Grate the cheese, coat with the corn starch.

Heat the wine and pepper to a simmer in a pot, slowly add mixed
cheese one handful at a time. Transfer to that fondue pot you bought
at the thrift store for $5 and have never used.

Kurt's notes:
"I wanted to make something quick and fun for Valentine's Day; my
wife was stuck on the road for three hours (normally a one hour
drive). Luckily I have a grocery store with a wonderful cheese
assortment and Sterno fuel five minutes away..."
