I did have to look up baked brie and it does look tempting. I may try that one though, purely for science you understand. Maybe on a freshly baked baguette of course.
If I could I would. But I don’t know how well it would travel in the post and I’m not sending it to the US as it’s illegal. Be safer to send over something like a Kinder Surprise.
i’m gonna say that this actually a statue of red and not ash ( @treefroggy can you plz confirm)
I understand! I couldn’t resist the verbal appearance of an offer.
When my grandma would go visit family in Germany, she would bring back Kinder eggs to give to me. I understood they were illegal. That was a formative childhood moment, getting the little toys AND pretending the eggs were GI Joe or Lego air tanks.
Believe me, if there was a way I could bring unpasturised cheese over I would.
I do love how that Kinder Surprise, which you can buy pretty much anywhere here, has this mystical quality for Americans as the forbidden chocolate. Without ruining it for anyone, the toys now are pretty damn terrible and are nothing compared to when I had them as a kid. Plus the chocolate has palm oil in it too, so they’re not quite the same for taste as well.
I think it’s to avoid them and keep that memory as perfect as it was for you!
Well that was awesome!!! Thank you kindly for the recommendation, of which was enjoyed as previously discussed with a freshly baked baguette.
We’re down to 1.5kgs now, having given a bit to our neighbour. Think it’s time to start freezing it as there is other cheese in the fridge that may get jealous of all the attention it is getting. Specifically mine: Tomme - Wikipedia
Hell yes, what did you put with it, besides the baguette?
I have to admit I have only had baked brie a couple of times, but it was so good the first time that it really made an impression on me. I think it had some kind of dark berry jam.
Well aside from dinner which was salad, just the baguette. Sometimes when something tastes so good you want it minimal and that was a prime example of it. I’m working on tomorrow’s cheese adventure, I think I may go with for me the ultimate sandwich: sundried tomatoes, Jamón Ibérico and brie. Again, in a fresh baguette.
You see a pattern forming huh!
If I had the kind of access to fresh baguette that you do, I would fall into that pattern too
Ironically we only just had the boulangerie reopen in our village after six months without one. Sure we can go to the next one over, but not having one within walking distance for the first time in a decade was a strage experience. Luckily the new owners make a damn fine baguette tradition, which is actually far more serious here than people rmay ealise:

Yes this is the law that states what constitutes une tradition.
I’m hungry now. But what to have…
when I worked at Panera you had to do baguette training and then demonstrate you wouldnt fuck up too bad, and only then would you be issued the little scoring knife. So I get it
The brief mention of Metroid Dread as “Dread” in another thread made me momentarily hopeful that someone was talking about the horror TTRPG “Dread.”
The most distinctive feature of the game is that action checks are determined by pulling blocks from a party Jenga tower (Reddit). If the tower falls when you pull from it, you die. It’s the stuff that makes for legendary one-shots.
When I first heard about the game at a party with my gaming friends, I misheard “Dread” as “Dredd,” and thought the tower was a really cool concept for living on the edge as a judge in Megacity One. Eventually I learned my error, but it turns out an original author for Dread (Epidiah Ravachol) actually published Dread: Dredd a couple of years ago. Thus, my long-ago eggcorn finally has come to life.
A new entry in the Jessica Pegula is cool and relatable saga:
JPeg made it to the finals of the Miami Open (a “1000-level” tournament, which is a big deal, just smaller than a Grand Slam).
She lost in the final to Aryna Sabalenka, who also beat her last year in the finals of the Cincinatti Open (another 1000-level) and the finals of the US Open (a grand slam)
Jessica gets her revenge by stealing Aryna’s celebratory margarita from her
i don’t know what you’re talking about, but i like your energy.
It seems unusual in highly competitive sports for something so friendly to happen between two opponents after the match. Were they already friends? What’s going on?

Which of you sickos is going all in on Hogan’s Alley as an investment strategy?
That’s like $150 of eggs.
