Dinner is Ready

I am sharpening my multitasking blogging skills in order to become a more frequent poster. This is hot in the oven right now for dinner. It is a delicious half wheel of of Reblochon cheese melted over layers of sliced potatoes and onions bathed in a creme fraiche sauce with garlic and dill. There is also some nice broccoli on the side that may get to visit the cheesy part as well.

Ohhhh...I am impressed (and hungry): displaying daily-in-the-life blogging skills (even text wrapped around a photo) and everyday culinary skills. I've never had this dish, do left overs make for a good breakfast?

Yum,,,,I'm a sucker for anything dairy and/or starchy, so this pretty much sounds like my perfect meal. (except for the cooked broccoli....blech. I don't do cooked veggies!)

wow, that's making me drool. it sounds awesome. is that a mild or a sharp kind of cheese?

I wouldn't have thought to try it cold for breakfast, but it would most certainly rank higher than other items tried for breakfast during the university days. Not being able to resist, it turns out to taste much like potato salad the next morning and never made it as far as getting reheated for lunch.

Then this is definitely your week for dinners here! Tonight was spaghetti carbonara and later this week will be french bread dipped in cheese fondue. Pancetta in the carbonara OK or does that need to go the way of the cooked broccoli?

is that a mild or a sharp kind of cheese?

It is a mild creamy cheese that is medium soft. St. Nectaire is also used for this dish, but has a stronger taste I do not care for. Neither one is particularly easy to find outside France. I know that Say Cheese in the SIlverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles and The Pasta Shop on 4th street in Berkeley would both have it.

oh man... sounds wonderful (but then, i've never met a cheese i didn't like). too bad i don't live in LA... i wonder if it would work with a nice fresh mozzarella....
