29 with cheese and wine

Here's me (and Binsey) with the spread we had for my wine & cheese birthday party a few weeks ago. It was delicious, and we had sooo much good cheese! I finally got to use the cheese dome my friend Holly gave us for our wedding, which was very useful since we got some real stinky cheeses. I also realized we need to have more parties!

Wal-Mart wins on Cheese

One more thing about living in the midwest in general - you're closer to Wisconsin than you are to Vermont. What does that mean? It means that most, if not all, of the cheddar cheese you find in the supermarket is ORANGE! And we all know that orange cheddar, even if it says "sharp" on the package, is pretty darn mild. Sure, they have specialty cheeses in the "gourmet" cheese section, but when I'm just looking for an everyday block of cheddar from the dairy section, it's all orange. EXCEPT at Wal-Mart, which is open 24 hours to satisfy my every shopping need, including Cabot cheddar cheese, which is in my opinion the best cheddar in the country. So relieved my cheese cravings can be satisfied!
