Cheese. I love cheese. Although I try to limit the amount of cheese that I buy, somehow we’ve ended up with 18 different cheeses in our fridge right now. That’s just crazy. My current favorite is a Danish Gorgonzola that I’ve been crumbling into salads. The bite of the blue cheese is a nice contrast to a tangy dressing.
I’m not sure when this love for cheese began. We always had mild and sharp cheddars in the house when I was growing up. Cheddar cheese on wedges of red delicious apple was a regular favorite especially while the family gathered around the TV. Even now, I snack on slices of cheese on crackers or a soft cheese spread on a crusty bread. I doubt this is good for cholesterol levels, but I’d give up egg yolks and bacon before I’d give up my beloved fromage.
Perhaps someday I’ll get to tour France and taste a few of the 1000+ types of cheese that they make. Oh, and France has that wonderful bread to go with all of that cheese. . . I better start saving those frequent flyer miles.

Mmm, cheese. Is there much better than warm brie perhaps with brown sugar and almond glaze paired with crackers? Me thinks not.
Have you tried Wensleydale? It’s ausgezeichnet!
Wensleydale? Not yet. I think that one of Wallace and Gromit’s favorites though. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
