Goddammit you are awesome. You made Big Mac and Fluttershy, so I am all in favor of this project.

Okay, fine. From here on out I'm just going to act like there aren't any more yellow/red ponies if there are any more.

Image

Also some more info: These are made from wax rinds from mini babybels. The yellow ones are bonbels, the red for Big Macintosh is from cheddar, and the other red is from original babybels. The original's wax is sorta bad, it's like white wax with red wax on top or something, it doesn't mix well at any rate and is kind of crumby while you're working with it.

Big Mac is composed of wax from 12 mini cheeses, his hair is probably like 1 of the bonbels. Fluttershy is made of 8~9 of the bonbels' wax (whatever was left over after Big Mac) and her hair is from one of the originals and is thus crappy wax, same for Apple Bloom's hair and bow. Apple Bloom is from 3 bonbels's wax, 1 for her head, 1 for her body, and 1 for the legs. She was the only one I made in parts, Big Mac and Fluttershy I made by starting with a big glob of wax and basically "pulling" out appendages. All done while watching the marathon in synchtube...I tend to fidget anyway after sitting for a few hours.

Also I had more of the brie and it's growing on me...not literally though.

Edit: VV Actually...I can...I don't think it's the right shade, also it is very difficult to get it mixed. Thankfully I'm out of cheese and wax.

It's a shame you can't mix the yellow and red wax together to get orange; otherwise, you'd be able to do Applejack.

Still, those are pretty neat.

As I live in ND, we don't have Wegmanses. :fluttersmith:

However, I have a buddy that lives about an hour outside of D.C. and he works at a Wegman's, in the cheese shop no less! As silly as it sounds, I love this thread, because, now I have two outlets to talk about cheese.

Every town should have a Wegmans.

And a cheap, privately-owned liquor store that can stay open despite the blue laws.

They're building a Wegman's vaguely close, but for some reason it's going to take 3 years. I want to be the fuck away from here by then. But they did de-stupid some blue laws: the liquor stores (there are ONLY state-owned liquor stores in Montgomery county) can be open for like 4 hours on Sundays. They had previously cleverly thwarted my inability to plan ahead 24 hours by not selling alcohol on sundays! I guess?

More on topic though, it's as hard to get good cheese in a grocery store here as it is to get anything with alcohol in it. WHAT IS A GOAT? :fluttersmith:

At this point, I think blue laws have less to do with religious people and more to do with state governments enjoying the benefits of monopoly revenue. Hell, I live smack dab in the middle of the bible belt, and the harshest blue law that we have here is that you can't serve liquor on Sundays - the first time I went back east, I was surprised that liquor laws were actually stricter. :rariwhat:

I like cheese, but only ones with mild taste and I usually just slap it on sandwiches straight from the fridge. What I'm getting at is that I'm no good for hoity-toity cheese chattering.

However, I do have a tale of a bad cheese. My friend's folks had picked it up from some food fair, where it had been promoted as very healthy and nourishing by a cheerful young farmer. They tasted it, and thereafter used it to troll visitors by proffering it with much enthusiatism.

It was blocky, had a nasty looking sheen to it and was apparently physically incapable of melting properly. If you threw it into a microwave for long enough, it went from completely solid to a sad little puddle. Of course, it tasted horrible. Once again, a miserable failure in making enjoyable food "healthy", so it could be consumed in ridiculous amounts with no ill effects.

Shit had been synthesized from canola oil or something. :nnngh:

Yes, that counts as fancy cheese. And I agree, Bleu Cheese is kinda hard to mix with other stuff because it is so damned powerful. But, other than the classic uses, (crumble on a salad, pair with walnuts, dipping sauce for hot wings) you can make an amazing pasta sauce with it as well.

"Pasta fit for Princess Celestia, in only three ingredients."

(Granted, this recipe only works if you actually like the taste of Bleu Cheese.)

Image

Just carefully, and slowly melt it in heavy cream, toss with cooked pasta, snip chives on the top. As you can imagine, with only 3 ingredients, if you use lousy cheese, you'll notice.

The thing that bugged me the most about the original Fudd video is he did the butter backwards.

You need to butter the outside of the bread, not put butter in the pan, in order to have even browning! By just plopping a pat of butter down, you might end up with a splotchy mess of a sandwich! :rainbert:

Now, not a 100% cheese dish, but I've made this several times:

It is a Buckwheat noodle/butter/cabbage/garlic/sage dish that is loaded with delicious, melty Fontina cheese.

Hey now. I do it that way and I don't wind up with splotchy browning. Granted, I do grilled cheese all fancy-like on a cast-iron griddle, using the bottom of a small cast-iron pan as additional weight.
Here's how! :spike101:

1) Melt butter on griddle, using EXTRA LOW HEAT. Like, as low as your stovetop can go. Plop a slice of bread in the butter pool once it's all liquid, then wriggle it around a bit. Put an empty cast-iron pan on another burner and apply heat to it.
2) Add cheese(s) and other ingredients, wait for cheese(s) to melt. Feel free to cover with a lid or the heated cast-iron pan for quicker melting.
3) When cheese(s) are melted, apply the second slice of bread and press down lightly - you're basically using the filling as glue here - then flip the sandwich. You should still have a butter residue, since you've barely had the heat on. If you don't, move the sandwich to a cooler part of the griddle and melt more butter before moving it back.
4) Turn heat up. Apply the bottom of the heated cast-iron pan to the sandwich. Check occasionally until you reach your desired level of browned/scorched/burned, plate and allow to cool slightly, and enjoy.

My preferred grilled cheese method: Butter both sides of the bread. On the side that you're throwing the cheese on, sprinkle some garlic powder on there before applying cheese. Grill up and enjoy.

This is going to sound gross, and objectively (and health-wise) it is, but put mayo on the inside instead.

Things along those lines that sound gross are, more often than not, quite tastey. Like I only every eat my french fries with pickles and mayo(dip a fry in mayonnaise and wrap it in a pickle slice) and it's very good!(or as poutine which, as I'm sure you all know, is the best thing ever invented)

I put two slices of bread in the toaster oven, I put a slice of cheese on each slice of bread, I then crank the dial 90 degrees and wait. When the bell rings I pull them out and put them together, I then eat the sandwich. It's not grilled, but it's quick and easy. Other wise I make a cheese sandwich, butter one side, put on skillet/griddle, press down on top with a spatula for a bit, then butter the top, then flip it, press down for a bit, take off griddle/skillet, and eat it. I usually only do this if I'm making more than one and that only usually happens if I have company. Also I often make some tomato soup and dip the sandwich in it as I eat it.

Also I realized today that I had brie before, but it was wrapped in pastry stuff and baked, so it didn't register as the same thing to me until I melted some of it onto some bread. I also don't like the taste of the rind, but love the cheese.

Next up: muenster. And then...goat?

:dearcelestia: Dear Princess Celestia,

Today, I learned two very important lessons about cheese. The first thing I learned is that my family's grilled cheese sandwich maker* can't handle six slices of cheese at once, especially if four of them are larger than the size of a slice of Kraft Singles American cheese. The other thing I learned today is that grilled cheese sandwiches on potato bread made with Swiss, American, and Provolone cheese are awesome. :awesomedash:

In the interests of all things cheesy:

Red Lobster's Cheese Biscuits

2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup grated cheddar

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt or powder
1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon italian seasonings

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix bisquick, water and cheese. Drop by large spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. After baking, (while hot) brush on melted butter or margarine mixed with garlic powder, parsley flakes, and Italian seasoning. (Amounts will vary by the size batch you make, but a little goes a long way.) Serve hot.


The Bisquick may throw people off, but I've tried this recipe before and its pretty much an exact match tastewise for what you get at the restaurant.
