Whats in your kitchen ?

About twenty dirty dishes (that's all of them), and I live alone. A piece of absolutely wonderful French cheese. So soft you have to eat it with a spoon, it has a light orange crust and I can smell it in my whole house. I love it, but I think it's a good thing I live alone!
 
A moth. I asked what the hell he was doing in my kitchen? He replied, sorry but I was flying past and the light was on
 
I have some Colorado Reaper chilli's which quite frankly keeps burglars, double glazing salesmen and representatives of some of the more unusual religious orders away from my man cave. If you have ever cooked with these bad boys you will fully understand what I mean
 
A red kitten, trying to steal my food before I've had a chance to prepare or even thaw it. I guess it's just concerned about the carbs I might eat (pizza-night). (I call it an experiment: trying to get the insulin-to-pizza-ratio right. Sounds a lot better than getting off-track, doesn't it? It's a learning thing, this insulin business! Although I'm fairly sure the main thing I'll learn is that I shouldn't eat pizza. Cat is right)

edit: Added a lot of cheese to the pizza (and onions and garlic), so I got the HF part right!
 
I do so want that recipe...

hoping....
Onion, oyster mushrooms or other mushrooms or no mushrooms if you don't like them, garlic, alwais a lot of garlic, optionally minced meat, bit of red hot pepper if you like it spicy, in a bit of butter/fat/oil until meat is brown. Rings of leek. Wait until everything is almost soft enough. Strongish tasting cheese spread, about three times as much as you think. Grated cheese (I use gouda, but I live in the Netherlands. I guess somewhat mature cheddar works fine as well). If you like it more creamy, add cheap cream cheese or double cream. Add water until you have a thick soup or a thin stew. Possibly add (half) a stock cube, I like to use mushroom stock cubes. Oh, and when I do the mushrooms, I always add a few drops of Thai fish sauce, makes them more interesting. Not nessecary though. Bit of fresh herbs and black pepper, spring onions on top makes it look and taste even better.
Easy, fast, filling, cheap, lots of healthy greens, low carb and really yummy!
 
Fish sauce absolutely unnecessary! The idea is to make your soup taste really cheesy ( ) , so cheeses like philadelphia (white cream-cheese, right?) are perfect to make the soup creamy, but not really for the cheese taste. On the other hand, I wouldn't say no to leek/cream-cheese soup, must be tasty as well! I would go for medium to high sharpish cheeses. I suppose my cheap-ass stock cubes have all sorts of evil ingredients, but it's my go to lazy, cheap and tasty dinner. Something definitely goes amiss with the 'lazy' part when I have to make broth first
Your soup will probably be completely different from mine (but mine is very different ever time I make it), but nothing much you can do wrong with this soup, so eet smakelijk!

And on topic: About 20 kilo's live oysters I have to open tomorrow to practice my oyster opening skills. Anyone with ideas what to do with them? I need a recipe for oysters which can be frozen...
 
Thanks! They have already watered, and I don't really fancy them raw. I'll eat a couple whilst shelling, but I would like to make some sort of warm winter stew with them, someting with bacon and onions or something like that. I can't seem to find any recipes though. I'm sure they exist, from times oysters were poor man's food, I just don't know where to look. I'll shell them tomorrow and they'll keep for another day in the fridge, but I think I need to do something with them on friday at the latest. Can you tell me how you smoke them? Sounds interesting!

And freshly made carb-free cheese-crisps. Will move from kitchen to belly very shortly, though.
