My taste buds love me, my digestive system does not.
When I was younger I loved Bleu Cheese Dressing. I used it on salads. I used it on venison my uncle would bring us after his hunting trips. Bleu cheese dressing was my condiment of choice.
I was also sick a lot when I was younger. And when I was finally sent to allergy specialists at the University of Utah they found that I was highly allergic to cat dander, grasses and among other things mold. Guess what. Bleu Cheese is mold.
Last night I had my Northern Italian Feast class at Sur La Table. Good God, the food was excellent. If anyone wants any of the recipes for Tuscan Bread Soup, Rosemary Roasted Potatoes, Asparagus Gratinee, Filet Mignon braised in Chiati or Panna Cotta with balsalmic marinated strawberries, just email me...oh yeah and wine...white and red. The food was so rich that the small tasting portions we had were more than ample. Unfortunately, the Asparagus Gratinee - which was delicious had Gorgonzola. That, my friends, is italian bleu cheese. I was not going to pass up this taste....and my stomach is now punishing me for it.
The bad thing about loving food so much, is when you have food allergies. If there was an allergy shot for mold, I would ask for it in a heartbeat just to enjoy bleu cheese again without the gastrointestinal distress it causes.
If any of you ever come to town and want a good meal, let me know. I'll whip up last nights menu.
