The food and drink thread

[Space Face]

I had some curry shots from earlier this year but I can't find them any where. Bummer.

Goudse kaas sounds so much nicer than plain old "cheese toast" - which my husband is a fan of for breakfast sometimes. He broils it.

Gouda, and smoked gouda, can be divine!

Interesting. Is this a regionalism? I call it 'grilled cheese.'

I remember in my first few months in Istanbul being invited for "tea and toast" (or 'tost' in Turkish). That's when I realized that 'tost' was actually a grilled cheese, and quite tasty, too. The Turks have some really yummy street food.

We just call it toasted cheese.

Mmm those both look good. The wife just informed me that I am having spaghetti for dinner. =]

I cook for the two of us almost every day, although very little Dutch cuisine that mainly consists of many types of cabbage, gravy, well-filled soups from the time when a lot of heavy labor was done and there were quite cold winters. I don't have the habit of photographing my dishes, I've done food photography for 30 years on a regular basis. I guess my last serious photo in this area must have been in 2008, maybe just put a camera next to the kitchen table for this food thread.

Since 1989 we live in the area where the original Gouda cheese comes from, the city of Gouda is less than 6 kilometers away, that's about 3.75 miles. I like all kinds of cheeses, as long as it's not blue cheese, starting my day with 'Goudse kaas' is still the best.

Looks good! My Turkish daughter had cheese on toast every morning for breakfast.

Almond, cream cheese pound cakes with raspberry sauce. These are a pain to make to get the ingredients evenly distributed. The good thing is they freeze well.

Pear and blue cheese with home made croutons and honey mustard dressing.

Thanksgiving pumpkin pie

I made this last Christmas. Banana cake by scratch and I made the chocolate trees. First time using the can spray for the green.

Flat bread pizza. Sun-dried tomato, garlic, spinach, cheese. I make this often for myself. Husband usually has meat on the grill.

It's grilled cheese here, too - if it's an entire cooked sandwich. Looking at gk foto's picture again, I now see another piece of bread to the side, which does look like it's going to be grilled cheese - if he cooked it. With a single slice of bread layered with cheese like that, and broiled, here it would be called "cheese toast." I find it nasty, since only the top of the bread and the cheese itself gets that nice char - the bottom of the bread stays soft. ewww!

Someone ate the 4th of July cake while I was cooling it before frosting. I am on strike.

Respect - we have none here, Captain!!!

Cheryl, your food looks fantastic - especially that flatbread pizza. YUM!

Lot of good cooks around here, it seems.

Not this time Don, 32C out so not going to add heat to the house. Cabbage rolls look good.

Love pears & blue cheese but not sure honey mustard goes with it. I do make my own honey mustard.

What would be a good dressing? I've only had it with the honey mustard and trying to think of an alternative.

Love cabbage rolls. I quit eating pork and thought about using ground turkey. I do make an exception every Christmas. My daughter's inlaws make an old family recipe Galunke (sp?) The mixture is pork cabbage rolls in a large pot with layers of bacon and shredded beef, tomatoes and lots of spices.
