Wish I could convalesce at your place. I’d kill for a grilled cheese but I don’t dare go in my kitchen until Eric can clean it after work today. Sigh.

I got a shit ton of that Gouda too.
I ordered a pound by mistake (insta cart) and I’m the only one who eats it :grimacing: and it’s already been in the fridge almost a week.

I’ve frozen basic, like emmetaler type cheese. The texture suffers some, it’ll be a bit crumbly but taste should be fine if you don’t keep in your freezer until next year…

Edited to add: if you’d have me over, this wouldn’t be a problem. I eat a lot of cheese, gouda is delicious!!!

We aren’t big on freezing food. When we do it usually goes in there to die. We’re bad. And it just doesn’t taste as good. Except spaghetti or lasagna. That works.
And as you can see we eat out too much. This post pandemic is more typical of the wife and my eating habits. It’s what we like to do. I just wish Flag had better restaurants. Might have to move to Scottsdale. :cactus:

Wish I could have y’all over :slightly_smiling_face:

Spaghetti and lasagna are perhaps only things I don’t freeze at all! :joy::joy::joy: I get what you’re saying tho. We all have our own ways with food. Eating out is very expensive here, so I stick to home cooking most of the time :blush:

Wasting good cheese is blasphemy! Could you incorporate that to bread baking? Mac n cheese? Pizza? The world is your cheese my friend.

Ya ordering to go food just don’t taste good. Unless maybe good pizza. Or BBQ. Maybe Chinese if you got really good Chinese near by. By the time it gets to the house. Meh :expressionless:
Pretty brave of you to order the fish though. :grinning:

I think it would have been good at the restaurant. I just think our patch sucks out here. The food is not as good as the ones in Texas
We do have a good Japanese place but they don’t deliver

@MrsOdh yum, yum and yum! I want to come live (and eat) at your house! That looks marvelous. You are very inventive with your cooking! It is so wonderful for your children! Yours looks much better than the packaged one! :heart:

When I have had to, I have frozen cheese and used it later for cooking. Think about frozen dinners, like lasagnas, and many others that have cheese

Mine–> broccoli with dijon, salmon with lots of basil, avocado w the same
Bon apetit everyone!

Thank you. I think it kinda comes with living here. If we don’t have it, we need to create it. Also Pinterest is an awesome place for inspiration :blush:
You’re welcome anytime dear, I always cook for a small army so there’s plenty, in case of guest.

:joy: I can see how that can be useful. It reminds me of a fun story. A few years ago (like 15 years :joy:) when my sister have moved into her own apartment she’d forgot to buy toilet paper. And as you know there’s a bit of a distance to the store. Her friend came over uninvited to borrow the bathroom when we where on our way out to the store. Toilet paper is out,but we didn’t really think of that in the moment. After a while we hear my sister friend shouting. “Hey, Becky (that’s my sister) there’s no paper”

My sister: I know, we where on our way to get some.

Friend: Okey, so what the heck should I do know? I need some paper.

My sister: Well, just put your butt in the shower and wash instead. That’s how the do in other countries. Pretend that you’re on vacation, you’re not at home anyway.

To this day, that’s still a running joke in our family. :joy:
