Yum Daisy! That sounds lush! My hubby loves that kind of cheese - I have never tried it but think I will be! Do you buy it at the cheese counter, or already wrapped, etc?

Sounds good!

hi BL
i get it ready wrapped - just on the cheese bit at supermarkets.

tonight i had garam masala spiced brown rice with peas and pumpkin seeds

brown rice and garam masala cooked in tablespoon of olive oil for 3 mins in a frying pan. Added 1pt of marigold stock and simmered sort of risotto style for 25 mins. Added in petit pois and cooked for 5 mins more. drained then tossed in lots of warm, toasted pumpkin seeds.

had it with half a fish cake

really really nice - very more-ish ( but i resisted!)
