Gosh, the Russian spammers are active today.
Less to interfere with in The States.
 
Murky, blustery and just a little bit soggy here chez Casa Reynard today.

I didn't sleep well, because they were doing work on the railway. Between the arc lights, the sound of machinery clanking past and every so often the house bouncing up and down as they were thumping something, it was rather hard to drift off...

Anyways, I spent the morning processing a whole case of tomatoes, separating out the ones that could be stored and chopping up and roasting (with balsamic vinegar) the ones that needed using. I have also roasted peppers, garlic, onions and courgette.

Those mixed veg will join some of the tomatoes in a pot of soup. The rest of the tomatoes will go in the fridge.

Almost time for lunch.
 
Sucettes bacon? :unsure:

A recipe popped up on Pinterest that I would like to try. A small ball of Mozarella goes into a larger ball of minced beef mixture and inside an ring of onion, wrapped with bacon and then baked. Could you use any cheese instead of the Mozzarella?

You could do, but it might not melt. The advantage of mozzarella is its low melting temperature.

Sounds quite tasty, though. :hungry:

You suggested buffalo mozzarella in a previous query of mine.

Shouldn't all mozzarella be from a buffalo?
:scratch:

Good question! I think last time I chose a weak version of that cheese. Can you get weak and strong versions? I usually stick with Gouda cheese, or other more usual type.

Btw does anyone else use Pinterest? It's not just for knitting and sewing etc, but all sorts of subjects.

Quite probably, but buffalo mozzarella is a bit spendy for cooking with - it's probably best left to having in a salad with tomato, basil, avocado, salt, freshly-ground black pepper and a drizzle of really good extra virgin olive oil... :hungry:

Mozzarella is a very mild flavour regardless of what milk it's made from, although buffalo mozzarella has the most of what little flavour it does have. If you're looking for a pungent version, there isn't one. Although I have noticed that Tesco sell smoked mozzarella...
