The bacteria that helps make the cheese causes the holes to form. The larger the holes, the more time it's aged, and the more flavorful it is

Ooh...

I thought it was a joke.

Nope, science!

Interesting

Facts! @KumquatLord

Dinner. Steak, salmon mixed veggies and baked potato.

Very healthy.

Minus the stick of butter on the potato...

🤣🤣

And no seasoning!?!? What did you do to the fish? Or steak?

Butter

😅

Touche

Light seasoning on both. Steak sauce for steak.

What kind of seasoning?

Very light lemon and horseradish seasoning.

Huh

Has onion, pepper, salt, horseradish, mustard, dill. Bunch of stuff. Kept very light so didn't overpower salmon. Light lemon.

Mixed seasoning for steak.

Nice!

I ate the hell out of it all.

🤣🤣🤣

I love how there's more meat on the plate than anything

I mean.. The potato is almost the same size

So good enough

Hey @[TDE] Smokie that’s all a man needs is a big hunk of meat 😆

yeah.. I'm going to agree with that, @Spectre.

dammit... now I'm going to have sex on the brain for hours.. ugh

🤣

Questionable

read pinned messages!

Vegeterian Morrocan soup (my own recipe combining two other recipes.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tbsp paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tomatoes (finely chopped)
generous pinch saffron (about 20 threads)
2 quarts low-sodium vegetable broth
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
2 cups red lentils, rinsed
2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Greek plain yogurt (few dollops)
Fresh mint
2 lemons, gut into wedges

Instructions:
In a large soup pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Cook the onion and carrots until the vegetables are tender and begin to take on color, 7-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, spices, salt, pepper and saffron. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and tomato paste
Add the broth, Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the lentils and chickpeas and simmer until the lentils and chikpeas are tender, about 35 minutes. The soup is meant to be thick, but if it seems too thick, add water, 1/2 cup at a time, to reach desired consistency.

Garnish each serving with mint, a dollop of yogurt, plus the lemon wedges.
