Blue Cheese

[j_halo7]

For lunch today, I made baked sweet potatoes with leeks and blue cheese, recipe courtesy of Hui Ling (duckholme). She had suggested the recipe after looking at my 101 list. In my list, one of the task is to eat blue cheese and another is to cook or bake 5 items with sweet potatoes so this recipe would let me kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

In the few times I've come across blue cheese lately, my thoughts turn to Yamapi and how he failed versus Aragaki Yui at Kuwazugirai. Wanna try ricotta, or cottage cheese? :)

Oh yeah, Yamapi and blue cheese. XD I'll have to taste a strong blue cheese for myself to see if it's that bad. :P

I'll be using ricotta next in an eggplant gratin! Is it edible on its own? I'll taste it by itself if it is edible as it is. As for cottage cheese, how can I use it? Eat with bread or bake or cook with it? Any suggestions on how to use cottage cheese?

Hahaha! Is cottage cheese really that bad? Now I must taste it for myself. :P

Blergh, I hate it. I haven't had it for so long I can't remember what it even tastes like - it just makes me shudder! It's eaten by depressed dieters with celery :(

I find ricotta to be quite watery and having a very very mild taste on its own and am only familiar with it in desserts. Ricotta cremes, yum!

As for cottage cheese, very salty. I don't remember ever trying/seeing it with something sweet except for fruits like melon but I love them on Ritz crackers and pizzas. The chunks don't seem to melt though. :-)

Seems like ricotta and cottage cheese are diet-friendly cheese. I can afford to lose some weight so I'll give them a go in the future. Thanks for your suggestions!
