Welsh Rarebit
Another Mrs C.S. Peel inspiration. We have had this twice. The only difference this second time is 5g more cheese and 2 tbsp of cream. What a difference! The beer is not over-powering at all and it really is delicious. So dig in!
The preferable base is lightly toasted wholemeal or rye bread.
Ingredients
20g unsalted butter
20g flour
75mls beer
1tsp mustard
90g strong cheddar cheese
2 tbsp double cream
1 egg yolk
1. Melt the butter over a medium heat and stir in the flour.
2. Let it mix together well then add the beer off the heat. Stir well.
3. Add the grated cheese and mustard, stirring well over a medium heat.
4. Let is cool for at least a few minutes before adding the egg and cream otherwise the egg will scramble.
5. Spread on top of lightly toasted bread and grill until golden.
6. Salad tossed in olive oil, white wine vinegar and a little Maldon salt, the Italian way. (details above second photograph on link) is a good accompaniment.
As of now (4) people have had something to say...

First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question
that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear
your head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in
getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but
it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Cheers!

Thank you. I rarely get feedback like that other than viewing my weekly statistics, so I really appreciate your comment!
I am attempting to write a book at the moment and in doing so find that I can spend a whole day seemingly staring at a screen and achieving nothing. Then I will leave it for a couple of days and delve back only to enjoy reading what I have in fact done during that time I thought I was going round in circles. For me it is a slow burn however. How Nigella wrote her first book in 6 weeks beggars belief. A university professor once told me that in order to work hard and succeed, you need to play hard. So plan your time – that’s what I try to do – until I am distracted by a lovely message like yours!
Good luck!

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great.
I do not know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
