Cheese ROCKS!

Unfortunatley I am dieting at the moment, so cheese is a big no no, and it is the only thing I am missing.

I have never actually made Welsh Rarebit...we (my family an I) have always been a big fan of plain old cheese on toast....two slices of white bread,toasted, then thick cut cheese to cover it and melted under the grill, then lashings of ketchup or brown sauce, whatever you prefer. YUM!

I've hurd of "clotted cream" (which I think must be like cream cheese) and curd. Do you make your own curd or do you buy it? I haven't seen it in our stores as "curd." We can buy cans of "lemon pudding/pie filling" but the curd seems to have a completely different taste and texture. I do love both.

I made a lemon cake recently and used the curd between the layers of the cake and just spooned sliced fresh strawberries that were sweetened with a bit of sugar and a bit of whip cream over the cake... To die for!!!! is how good that was.

I also made a sugar cookie recipe and lined the tiny muffin cups with cookie dough and baked the cookie and just before serving I added the lemon curd with just a bit of whip cream and it was wonderful. I'll do that again but you can't add the curd until just before serving as the cookie soaks up the moisture and won't hold together if you assemble the dessert too early.
