Moon: waxing crescent. 8% full
I love cheese--not Velveeta or processed American cheese-food, but real cheese. I don't get to eat good cheese all the time, but every once in a while a splurge is in order.
Places to splurge: Zingerman's and iGourmet
No one on earth bakes better breads than Zingerman's! I highly recommend the Pain de Montagne--and get the giant loaf...it is perfect. Oh, and the chocolate sourdough and the chocolate cherry breads are wonderful too!
Zingerman's has cheeses and gift baskets and brownies as well as all kinds of "foodie" items. I can recommend their pomegranate molasses for pork roasts and turkey!
Oh, and if you happen to zoom through Ann Arbor, Michigan, stop by the store or the restaurant. Sometimes you could get lucky and happen upon their homemade chocolate marshmallows!
iGourmet is an online foodie store where hard-to-find items are in one place. I've been looking all over to find someone who actually carried Mimolette--and they've got it! Yay.
Cheeses I want to try:
Saxonshire--a five layer cheese alternating yellow/white cheeses: double gloucester, caerphilly, cheshire, leicester, cheddar
Mimolette--a round cheese resembling a cantaloupe inside and out with a nutty flavor. This cheese can come aged just a few months to about 18 months or so. Most people seem to enjoy them aged over a year.
Chimay Vieux--a Trappist Monk cheese with a hazelnut taste (I like Chimay beer, so I thought this might be interesting too.)
