mount cheesemore

i am so busy deep frying bacon that my super-hero typing skills have returned. you are probably saying”get over the bacon-we have” and actually i have but i have 2 more bacon-y things i need to do. 1) the bacon explosion-which is a woven mat of bacon wrapped around sausage that has a filling of fried bacon. 2) i just forgot. the bacon explosion blew my thoughts out. and my superpower typing is much faster than my brain. my actual new passion is blue cheese. i wanted to start a cheese club called the cheeses of nazareth (thanks to wally for the name) but its much harder than it sounds. nobody wants to ship a bunch of cheeses to a bunch of nobodies. i must have called a dozen cheese companies who just didn’t care about me. anyway, back to blue cheese-our favorite is a goat’s blue called humboldt’s fog outta california. it is gooey and stinky and as i found out through leaving it in my car overnight, it is best at room temperature or warmer. kroger actually has a really decent selection of blues-today i got a danish blue and a castello that are both quite nice. it ain’t no central market but hey who is? the point of my blue cheese saga is that i saw a restaurant menu that had a bacon and blue cheese soup! heaven. i have been playing with it all day and the funny thing is that my friend esther was just telling me about a cranberry soup she made and i thought i want to make that too! for the vegetarians. somehow, the cranberries talked me into letting them visit the blue cheese and well, we are having a cranberry and blue cheese soup-no bacon for the vegetarians.

tonight:

• blue cheese,cranberry and bacon soup(mariel,i made one just for you without blue cheese)
• peppers stuffed with wild rice and artichokes
• fresh pineapple upside down cake
