smelly cheese and chocolate dreams.

Ingredients for a delicious meal of raclette and crepes

     On Monday March 21, Jason and I made the most delectable Dinner! Ever since his mission to Geneva, Switzerland, Jason has a love of cheese. So naturally, he's been craving some of the Swiss and French cheese he was use to eating on his mission: and not just any cheese- gourmet cheese: and not just any gourmet cheese- Raclette.

     Now, apparently you're supposed to melt it on a raclette grill, but obviously we didn't have one of those. So, we improvised and melted it in a pot on the stove. The only bad thing was that we kept having to heat it up. Anyway, while I was grating and melting the Raclette, which smelled horrible by the way, Jason made chocolate crepes. Mmm...oh yes, we are very cultured (I won't mention that I put way too much vanilla extract in our crepes).Once our cheese was melted into a really nasty consistency, our potatoes were baked to perfection, and our crepes were, well, crepes, we were ready to eat! 

Cooking together in the kitchen

     We put our LUMP of Raclette on our plates and I put just a little bit of it on my baked potato and I absolutely loved it! It was so good! Let me tell you, looks (and smells can be awfully deceiving.We had to wash it down with hot raspberry herbal tea because apparently, if you drink something cold with it the cheese hardens into a ball in your stomach making it difficult to digest. 

     Our crepes weren't the best, (we'll just blame the vanilla overload) but they were still good and especially with none other than Nutella on them! It was so much fun cooking with Jason! I look forward to doing it in the future.

Anything with Nutella is amazing
