Joy Of Cooking Update: Cheese Spreads

Posted by Trott

After a Joy Of Cooking hiatus, I did a sprint through Roquefort Cheese Balls (made for a birthday celebration at work), Liptauer Cheese Spread (ditto), Blue Cheese Spread With Walnuts (made for another birthday celebration), and Chutney Cheese Spread (ditto).

Joy Of Cooking Update: Situation Normal In Cheese Ball City

Posted by Trott

I didn't bother blogging about making the Taramasalata because I completely ruined it. I accidentally added many times the rice potatoes called for in the recipe. This was a bit of a shame because there was somewhat of an adventure trying to locate taram. (We ended up getting it at Indus in Berkeley.) Rather than try to make it again, I moved on.

The Cream Cheese Ball (pictured, photo by Humuhumu) fared only slightly better. I made it and tasted one bite, but didn't feel much like eating it after that. Neither did Humu. It ended up in the trash after a few days in the refrigerator.

These two events may be a sign of Joy of Cooking Project burn-out. However, an opportunity to get a recipe out of the way by bringing the result to a special event or party should never be passed up! That brings us to the Cheddar Cheese Ball.

My coworker Kirk does the AIDS Ride every year. This year, we're having a small party at work where people can donate money to the cause or otherwise offer support. I've made a donation and I've made a cheddar cheese ball.

Please consider making a donation at Kirk's AIDS/Lifecycle home page.

Fog City

A few nights ago, the Fog City Wrestling Twitter feed offered up a free t-shirt to whomever came up with the best answer to the question, "What's it like to be down with Fog City?"

Here was my answer.

Disclaimers: I recorded it quickly to get it posted in a timely fashion, so it's rough. I didn't have a guitar handy, so all the "guitar" parts are actually played on a bass guitar. I messed up and recorded some stuff stereo that should have been recorded mono, so as a result, there's no "guitar" in the right channel. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Check out some of our past jingles.

Joy Of Cooking Update: Out Of The Dips And Into The Spreads

Posted by Trott

Baba ghanoush resulted in many recitations of material from The State.

With that and eggplant caviar under our belts (pun only marginally intended), we are officially out of the dips and into the spreads. Tapenade is next.
