Here is something I baked called Bacon-Cheese Gougères. They have bacon, aged white cheddar, and Gruyère cheese. One stick of butter for 12, got real fluffy. Taste fantastic. (bacon, right?)
Used the recipe from Bacon-Cheese Gougères - Southern Living

I didn't fact check this, but I thought it applied

Quote:

Some things to ponder as we age

The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54

The man who wrote a famous book about jogging died at the age
of 52 (while jogging)

The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57

The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41

The best soccer player in the world, Maradona, died at the age of 60

And then..

KFC inventor died at 94

Inventor of Nutella brand died at the age of 88

Cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102

The inventor of opium died at the age of 116 - in an earthquake

Hennessy cognac, Irish inventor, died at 98

How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?

The rabbit is always jumping, but it lives for only 2 years.
The turtle that doesn't exercise at all, lives 300 years.

So …

Have a drink ...

Take a nap ...

And IF you wake up, have some bacon & eggs!

And cheese and butter

Gougères!

Served warm at wine tastings in France and as Holdiay hors d' ouvres in the California wine country. I make mine with Point Reyes Blue Cheese made by The Giacomini Family, third generation dairy farmers in West Marin, CA, who've been making farmstead cheese since 1959.

I got hooked on this cheese in the 80's and have been a strict devotee ever since. A Blue Cheese Salad Dressing on fresh Romaine Lettuce with specially prepared Garlic Pain a' Levain Croutons with Fresh Bay Shrimp is "Your Friend" as Stephen King says...,

Gil, I realy like blue cheese. Crumbled in a salad, blue cheese dressing, on top of a grilled steak, etc. etc..

Next time I make gougères I am going to experiment with different cheeses, blue cheese being one of them
