It arrived on Christmas Eve and the aroma has become more pungent each day. A small round Camembert that lurked for a while with Stilton, Brie, Cheddar and Double Gloucester. For the last week the smell has had to be contained in a sealed box but even so it has escaped to pounce on fridge openers bombarding nasal passages. It was so strong that plans had to be made to ensure that the fridge door was open as briefly as possible. Today it had to be tackled.
I removed the outer wrapper, squidging to check it was ripe. Perfect. Re-wrapping it, I covered it with foil and popped it into a hot oven for twenty minutes.
The most divine lazy girls Tuesday tea and I notice that the smell seems to have faded as the flavour has developed!

…it looks tasty, at least I think. I’m a lousy gourmand…
Ooh yummy. I am indulging my usual January blue Stilton binge. But a good ripely pungent Camembert would go down nicely. What did you have with it?
Ooh more yummy, just seen the pic. I read this on my email, so hadn’t seen the black olives and everything else.
Mmmmmm, gooey goooey with cranberry sauce. Delish!!!
It was lush – shame I didn’t stop a tadge sooner!
Simple pleasures my friend. Margie
Oh, I just love cheese. There isn’t one I don’t enjoy. I don’t think I could have attempted that one without help. My favorite is having cheese and wine parties. It’s simple, the variety of cheese and wines are endless and very little cooking and clean-up. MMMMmmmm …. will have to consider having one soon. BUT … it will have to wait as i just packed away my Chirstmas tree and decorations today ( January 10) YES … a bit late. Actually, I liked the way they looked so much I was considering leaving them up all year … LLOL
Toodles,

P.S. I like the word – squidging – I am making it the word of the day. ~~~ : – )
Do you realise what you have done? Now I am hungry…
Gilly, you tormentor. I’ll have to stop writing and walk into town to get some cheese!
I just love cheese of all varieties, well I just love food really 🙂
People can be like that too…..the more their flavor develops the less they stink
Brilliant you’re right of course!
Oh man…my mouth is watering. Yummy!
Yum.
Referring to your photos and writing.

Oh wow I have never baked camembert. That looks yummy!
Lol you take off the plastic wrapping and usually there is a paper one underneath then put it back in its box, about 20 minutes gas mark 5ish.
Yummy cheese!!
