That means you didn't age it long enough. On the other hand, too long,
and it smells too much like ammonia. The one I had last night was good,
but getting a little old.

Default Stinky Cheeses W/Recipe

I like all the stinky cheeses. One of my favorites is Bierkäse,
followed by Butterkäse. It's pretty hard to find in Chicago so we
usually have to get it in Wisconsin. Monroe has lots of cheeses we
don't usually see. They've got things like seasoned cheese curds that
are to die for. We end up eating too many on the way home though. <g>
The plain ones are great tossed on a pizza.

Another stinky cheese I love is Greek Kefalograviera. It works
wonderful with this recipe and is a fabulous appetizer.


Fig And Walnut Tapenade

1 cup chopped dried black mission figs
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup chopped/pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup toasted and chopped walnuts

In a medium saucepan combine chopped figs and

water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally

until liquid has evaporated and

figs are soft. About 7 minutes.

Transfer figs to a mixing bowl. Add olives, olive oil,

balsamic vinegar, capers, and chopped thyme. Mix and

add salt and pepper to
taste.

Refrigerate for 24 hours. (up to 3 days)

Bring to room temperature and mix in chopped walnuts.

Serve with Kefalograviera cheese slices on thin slices

of French Baguette bread.

Other Greek cheeses will work as will Manchego or

Blues.

Do NOT serve cold.

For me, a good brie just has to be runny at room temp. ;-d

Now I like Butterkase! Boars Head makes an excellent one.

I've saved that to disk, but I honestly prefer to eat these types of
cheeses as snacking items with a good red wine. I used to eat them on
warmed sourdough wedges until that started making me ill. Now I just
eat them with a spoon. ;-d

Those aren't stinky.
If you want a really stinky cheese, try Olmützer Quargel.

Cheers,

Default Bird Eating Spider?

Reminds me of something that happened in Viet-Nam in 1969. We were taking a break near
a cane hedgerow when somebody noticed a monster web ( about 12 feet across) between
two segments of cane. The spider in the center was more than a foot across the
outspread legs. We cut off a piece of cane and teased the spider into dropping from
the web. Using the piece of cane to catch the strand the spider was dropping from we
set it down in front of one of the guy's pet monkey. ( Thought it would scare the
monkey.) It surprised the hell out of us by running up to the spider, grabbing it by
bunching up the legs near the body and eating it. SERIOUS Yukk.

Never did find out what kind of spider it was. But it looked sort of like this one.
