This week continues the “why is there so much cheese!” theme for January 2024.
I love dill. I love how bright and savory it is. It is the perfect complement to so many things. Why not cheddar cheese?
The original recipe called for gouda. I don’t have gouda in my cheese drawer and I was not about to bring more cheese into the house. But I have some Unexpected Cheddar from Trader Joe’s. This cheese is a mix of parmesan and cheddar and is a whitish cheese.
Which makes it perfect for this recipe.
In my head.
As always, Cookie Thursday is a Thing started as experimentation on my coworkers and I’ve never really stopped.
But yes, the dill complements the Unexpected Cheddar perfectly.
The cookie, more like a cracker, is smoky and cheesy in all the best ways.
Apparently, this cookie doesn’t keep well. I wonder what I can add to change that?
To bring it back to the OR, sometimes it is the unexpected element that allows for the most exciting cases. This can be a code, this can be a power outage, or this can be a doctor yelling at you over the phone because the OR is running late. Again.
In these instances, the first thing to do is to keep your cool and reach for your calm. As my first ACLS instructor told me, “In the event of a code, the first thing you do is take your own pulse.”
Which is the unexpected element of this make? The Unexpected Cheddar? Or the dill? Or is it the synergy of both?
