I did not know that.
Although i was once at a long lecture about where Charles Dickens visited in Illinois.

He is supposed to have stayed as a guest of Anne Lister, who also had the Bronte Sisters as frequent visitors.

I'm just about to have a veggie vindaloo curry. Not being a curry/spicey food fan,especially very hot stuff i think i'll regret it!

I was sweating like billyo , just from the smell of it coming from the microwave.

Morning.
It is bright and sunny here but chilly outside . I've just been out to feed the birds .
Looking for a Schrodie when strangers or Wow wows are about is a bit like looking for the Lockness Monster , but I did manage to find one ! A Schrodie that is !
A small flock of young Starlings had just found the food I had put out but flew off when I went out to scare the big grey Hoover bird off . Woodpigeon!

A bit like Bewick Swans ?

I put the laptop to sleep last night. But instead of waking up this morning, it had gone into a coma and wouldn't respond to attempts to get it going again. I had to crash it. That woke it up. I think I may switch it off tonight. It clearly needs the rest.

Stilton a suitable substitute for brie? I think the picker at that business needs a training update.
In answer to your question though, yes, stilton can be substituted in recipes calling for other cheeses. It's good grilled, crumbled in salads, or in quiches, pasta sauces etc. BUT, you do need to like blue cheeses. It can be a bit strong for someone who might only be used to mild cheese.

As to your neighbour. Perhaps it might be time to take down the Xmas lights festooning the outside of your property? The life-sized, LED-bedecked Rudolf and the Nativity laser show might be ready for a rest ... well, until the 1st Oct., natch

I agree that Stilton and Brie are like.... chalk and cheese... and that someone needs more guidance. I like strong Cheddar as long as it does not blow the top of my head off.

It is a very small business. They changed their marketing strategy at the start of the lock down. They stock a large variety of food items.
They deliver to my doorstep and the quality is very high, prices are good. I would not usually eat Stilton but it is only a small chunk (200g). I think they used to sell cheese by the kilogramme, and now repackage it in smaller portions. I might even like Stilton in colly cheese, as per the suggestion by @Reynard. In a nutshell, I do not feel I should complain.

She'd have fitted in quite easily, I think. Not afraid of telling it as she felt like saying it.

Warm, mostly sunny and a bit breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Feel so much better after sleeping a solid 10 hours. Just chillaxing today. Am curled up with Poppy, watching the cycling.

Although I did so a bit of bike fettling this morning.
