I do like cream cheese but I do not necessarily have a favorite brand.

If you are ever in Tillamook, Oregon though you may wish to visit the creamery there.

I was able to buy some Georgian Blue Stilton at the local market.  An excellent tasting cheese!

I usually get Philadelphia cream cheese from Target as the usually have the lowest prices unless a local market offers it at a low sale price.

I may try that Stilton cheese some day.  But some cheese with blue mold in it does not even smell good.

Hi One and All

My mum and I both love cheese. I guess I inherited that trait from her. She enjoyed watching how various cheeses were made and I found myself fascinated by it too.

Here is a story from when I was working in Sydney. I got a contract located in Wollongong about 85 kilometers (53 miles) from Sydney and every day I traveled there by train.

Every Friday after work we had a small gathering with snacks, cheese and drinks.  Before this time in my life I had never tried blue cheese and was reluctant to do so. However, on one occasion I was asked to try the ubiquitous blue cheese. I finally gave in and to my utter amazement it tasted like the food of the gods.

To this day blue cheese is one of my favorite cheeses. It never fails to bring me joy and of course a cheesy grin

Best Wishes Always

PS If you only knew Chrissy, how wonderful blue cheese tastes like.
PSS Blue cheese origin is France.  Stilton cheese origin is UK, but still a blue cheese.

Was your blue cheese crumbly?

Bleu cheese is also one of my favorites. I like Philadelphia cream cheese too.
I have never tried Blue Stilton, but now I must!

The only thing I like more than chocolate is cheese.  ;D

You can have crumbly and creamy blue cheese.  I have had both and there are about 15 types of blue cheeses.

Just try a tiny little bit on your tongue first and see how that goes.

Sometimes I see blue cheese as an option for a salad topping.
It is crumbly.

Crumbly is a good salad topping. I like Bleu cheese salad dressing if it has chunks in it.

The creamy kind is great for English muffins, toast, and bagels.

Well maybe I will try a little bit of it.  I have had it before long ago but it did not become a favorite type of cheese.

Speaking of salads and toppings, have any of you had a wedge salad?
It seems like a solid 1/4 head of lettuce as its base.
Blue cheese was a topping I noticed for it.  Tomatoes too.

I never ordered it because I thought it was ridiculous to order one at a restaurant as it is so simple and quick to make, and inexpensive to make, at home.

Hi One and All

Cheese cake made with Philadelphia cream cheese, with a biscuit base.  Is definitely a nice desert to have.

Cheesecake can be very good.  I like the graham cracker type of crust with it.

I usually buy the little squares, like about an inch square, so I do not consume many calories at any one time.  Much easier to do that than cut a narrow slice.  Just eat one or two pieces.

I like blueberry bagels.
Some others can be good too.

They taste better to me if they are warm.
Sometimes toasting is fine, sometimes a brief microwave time just to warm it up works for me.
No soggy bagels, please.
