A Cheesy Snack



Today is Valentine's day, my friend Mel is coming over to study and have a glass of wine with some cheese. When I thought to myself... Hey, there's something in Jamie's Food Revolution by Jamie Oliver that I'd love to try... I'm sure it was something to do with brie... Or cheese...

I rushed over to the grocery store picked up a baguette and some brie...
Had the fresh rosemary, olive oil and garlic already here.

Scored the top of the cheese, sprinkled garlic and rosemary on followed by a gentle drizzle of olive oil.

Put it in my oven set at 350 F. 10 minutes later I had a melted delicious cheesy snack for us to enjoy on this lovely study date.

Ingredients:
1 8 oz soft cheese (brie or camembert style)
1 stem rosemary
2 table spoons of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic

Really simple, simply delicious and beautiful. Anyone who wants a quick romantic lil cheesy snack should try this out.

The Other Day

I went to the grocery store and bought some fresh veggies... They weren't on shelves, I picked them from vines that grew inside the greenhouse/grocery store. I ate oysters and drank complimentary champagne as there was plenty of staff ensuring everyone had all they could eat and drink. They carried trays and seemed to always be there when you needed more champagne or desired some oysters.

I got to the back corner by the dairy and egg section and heard a three piece jazz band. They were great and really added to the experience. I walked away and went to the back kitchen area where I saw some friends already cooking, laughing and joking. Multiple beautiful kitchen counters lined the room... Like a luxurious home-ec class; I found a spot and cooked up some foie gras and had some more oysters and champagne.

Went to the dining/lounge area where Oscar Peterson was playing in the corner... Sat down, listened to the music, enjoyed the food with some friends and drank more champagne. We discussed many topics also told jokes and laughed... I woke up laughing that morning.
