Carmelized onions and blue cheese? Ewwww.

What's wrong with the more traditional berries and brie?

Dice and saute up some pancetta (or regular old bacon); throw in a bag of baby spinach (arugula also works well), and maybe a bit of white wine or stock. Once the greens are wilted, toss in the blue cheese (gargonzola does melt better, but most blue will work). If you like, add a handfull of walnut pieces. And/or some sundried tomatoes.

Toss with pasta of your choice.

This sounds tasty and also less dependent than mac and cheese's bechamel sauce to be well-combined. Or maybe it's because my dad used to make mac and cheese with whatever cheese was on hand and as a child I was traumatized by chunks of mold in my dinner.

I understand. It's kind of sad when old men on canes feel it will be welcome -- and it was -- to hold open a door. I guess the positive way to look at this is it made him happy.

Last weekend, I had some delicious rosemary creme brulee at a restaurant. I imagine it is easy enough to recreate at home with steeping stems of the herb in the cream. I found a recipe on Chocolate and Zucchini which is metric, with centiliters and the like. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding a site with easy metric conversions for cooking? Or alternatively, a recipe for rosemary creme brulee that is in standard American measurement units? Google was not very helpful in either regard.

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks but this one doesn't have the centiliter conversion. I became a lawyer because I fuck up that kind of math like how to convert the centiliters to milliliters first.

liter to centiliter? take out two zeros.
cl to l? add two
25 cl= .25 liters then use the conversion.

This is the recipe. I am trying to figure out the most accurate conversion for the cream:

Pear Rosemary Crèmes Brûlées

- two large twigs of fresh rosemary
- 20 cl whipping cream (regular)
- 20 cl whipping cream (reduced fat)
- one ripe pear
- 4 egg yolks
- 50 g sugar + 10 g to poach the pear
- a healthy amount of cassonade (brown crystallized sugar)
