Every now and then, on special occasions worth celebrating such as This Moment Right Now, I like to make something truly criminal for dinner, like this:
Cheese for dinner … why not?
Do you have a guilty pleasure? What is it, and how often do you let yourself indulge?
New love. Exotic destinations. A once in a lifetime adventure. What could go wrong?
“Wow, what a book. Exciting. Dramatic. Honest. Torre DeRoche is an author to follow.” —Australian Associated Press
“A funny, irresistibly offbeat tale about the risks and rewards of living, and loving, with an open heart.” —Kirkus Reviews
Tell me your story. Write a post on your blog outlining your fearful adventure. It could be something ridiculously ambitious, like an epic journey around the world on a unicycle, or something sweet and simple, like going to a nursing home to read books to the elderly. It can be anything at all. Just two conditions: it scares you, it excites you. Find out more…

This is what my life has been missing, although I did not realise it until this very minute.
I’m both delighted and extremely sorry to have introduced you to this.
Oh, hell yes! And chocolate for dessert!
OMG – I’m verily GASPING for breath here at the mere sight of it!
And here I (foolishly) thought Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia was good. Shoot – compared to that luscious cheese concoction, the B&G’s akin to frozen dishwater (that previously washed a few cherries of course)!
Ew! Frozen berry dish water icy poles. That’s quite a horrible thing to imagine.
I live in Asia, Torre. The land that cheese forgot. That last photo of your post just made me weep a little.
If I could, I’d send you cheese, but instead I send my condolences.
Oh.
Emm.
Gee.
That looks amazing! I’ve done baked camembert before but never thought to add the garlic, balsamic and rosemary. That’s going to have to be tried, and soon …
My guilty pleasure at the moment tends towards Nutella, straight from the jar, with a spoon. Oh yes. Before I moved here I’d go for cheese over chocolate every time, but Italy has changed my tastebuds. That’s what living in a country that subsists on coffee and cake does for you.
I’ve been doing a bit of Nutella-by-spoon lately.
Sat at my office desk salivating and sincerely hating you right about now Torre haha. Think I better get my butt to the supermarket =) Yummy!
Sorry!
looks bloody lovely, most def. Cheese over chocolate over ice cream every time. Well, apart from, I do make the most truly delicious fudge which is making me almost dizzy just to recall. God, food can be good.
Fudge. Mmmm . Few things are more criminal.
My guilty pleasure is french fries. I am vegan so I don’t eat cheese or I would eat this right up. I can not resist french fries. I try and eat them from places where I know they are cooking them in a semi-healthy oil but that is defiantly my weakness. The cheese entree does look delightful!
Fries are pretty good. Which places do them in semi-healthy oil?
That looks absolutely delicious.
CHEESE!
Cheese is a pretty amazing thing. My guilty pleasure is really just copious amounts of ice cream.
Cheese IS amazing. I’m considering recreating my blog and turning it into a cheese shrine.
Do you eat it in slices, like a pie?
You use bread sticks and eat it more like a dip.
Oh my God! That looks delicious. I’m making it tomorrow!
I don’t really have too many guilty pleasure dishes that I make for myself. It’s usually me going out for ice cream or a hot fudge brownie sundae. Mmmm… wonder if the cafes are still open
Hot fudge brownie is my new fantasy after having it at Nobu (not a sunday, but bready on the outside, melted chocolately on the inside). Oh so good.
Well this was sounding good as you went along and then you baked it! Thats when it become awesome. I love those “This Moment Right Now” moments when we throw everything out the window and just have what we want.
I’m a big believer in those moments up until the point that my waistline starts to get angry.
Love the idea of cutting tops off and stuffing garlic cloves inside. Will totally do that!
Garlic cloves stuffed inside anything is a good idea.
WHY did you post this? You know some of your readers live in countries where the cheese selection is limited to Kraft singles. And now I’m licking my computer screen.
I hope you used some rubbing alcohol on your monitor before licking.
okay, you made that look WAY too easy…like easy enough for me to do it! and now i’m tortured as the chinook has a stove top but no oven! my friends are sure to drop dead of shock when i offer to cook dinner at their house
I know a great recipe for stove-top bread
i may have just died and gone to heaven. experienced enlightenment too? how have i never tried baking cheese in balsamic, rosemary and garlicky goodness? wow.
honestly, this, i have to try.
Drool.
