I love Goat Cheese, Feta chesse, and especially Mozzarella Cheese (of course) the real stuff not that rip of stuff, Italians takeCheese (and rice) so seriously check this out.
Parmesan is an excellent cheese but I wouldn't call it king of cheese.. I like cheese that is a bit nutty, hickory, smokey without a funny after taste.. I really dislike things with a funny after taste...
yes of course you can post recipes.. it is a cheese thread..just no maggots anyone......

I love fruits and nuts too, just not Californians..
Thing about baguettes is that you either buy a small size or share with family, because they become hard as a rock the next day.. but then I suppose you can slice them, add a little garlic and butter and stick them in the oven to accompany your pasta..
my family aren't into carbs.. they prefer beans and peas to pastas and breads.. a shame I say
Oh NO. No pasta? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
I think if i where to be cut i would bleed, Marinara sauce and pasta!!lol

Panera brad has an awesome baguette, but they are baked fresh without preservatives like packaged bread. My Nonna baked fresh bread usually a flat unleavened bread, sort of like Naan, evryday at 4:30 AM in the morning! .....................I miss my Nonna

i really have no idea what Californians are, but i hate Arnold Schwarzenegger (he is an enemy of Islam).[/QUOTE]
I forgot to share a recipe with you since you love cheese; pan fried white (or some other) cheese coated with flour. after coating with flour you can also coat in one egg before frying. delicious
this appetizer/meze is called 'saganaki' in greece.

I miss my ''nonna too''.. she too baked fresh bread daily... the middle eastern sort differs from the naan quite a bit.. but how basic is bread and how delicious when coupled with the right cheese..
we do have pastas occasionally, just no one in my family except me I think really likes pasta all that much..
sometimes they like this oven 'pasta' in bechamel (sp)? sauce and ground meat.. it isn't bad.. I just like penne than baked stuffed stuff...
peace

They sell orange flavored oxygen and live in a different planet than the rest of us...

Jazaka Allah khyran.. though I hate to cook this will come in handy
it takes a few minutes to cook, but you have to coat them with lots of flour and tap them with your hands (that's what i do). cook on high heat. i love cooking if i have time and there is nobody bothering me in the kitchen..

Dio è con lei!
we call our nonna 'tita' or 'sitto'
we had Italian neighbors in the mother land..
They pick up Arabic quick, and the cooking is somewhat similar.. I mean we have lots of shish kebobs and salads, and fava beans are very popular obviously, that is breakfast plus falafel and stuffed intestine (haven't had that in ages) -- thank God, since I don't think I'd tolerate it.. people also like liver fried and smothered with onions and
also particularly popular is koshri
which is a medley of lentil, and rice, and elbow macaroni and two types of sauces, one which is hot with loads of fried onions on top

As revence that you made me hungry (at the middle of night here) I try to make same to others (even those whose like cheese cakes):
White Chocolate Cheesecake
Bottom:
170 g unsalted butter
75 g pecans
170 g flour
1 tbsp powdered sugar
Melt the butter. Chop the nuts finely. Combine everything and spread into a buttered springform pan, lined with a round of parchment paper or cut out teflon sheet. (You can attempt to do this without lining, but I wouldn't dare.)
Bake at 175° for 22-25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely in the pan.
Filling:
200 g cream cheese
300 g white chocolate
25 g sugar
500 ml (2 cups) heavy cream (35-40% fat)
Melt the chocolate. Mix sugar and cream cheese and add the chocolate to this. Beat the cream until it holds soft peaks - don't overbeat it. Fold in with the rest. Pour into the pan, and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least three hours.
Topping:
500 g strawberries
Trim the strawberries to a fairly even size, and decorate the top of the cake.

Turkish white cheese ("beyaz peynir") can be very delicious. It may look like feta, but it is usually made from cow's milk. It tastes much better than feta IMHO.
Turkish white cheese is very varied in taste and texture, especially from region to region and depending on the brand and quality you buy. Sometimes it is very creamy and spreadable on bread and other times it is more dry and crumbly. It can be almost sweet tasting and other times very salty. Sadly I don't know which brands are good and which you should avoid. I like the salty types.
