We only have cheese in the house when guests visit.

Imagine that, if you will.

I'm so middle class, I shit politeness and tutting.

how do you survive in a cheeseless house? or do you classify every living being in the house as a 'guest'? there are so many things you can do with cheese! so many cheeses to do things with! and many of them are english! what are you - some sort of queen-hating, cheese-snubbing infidel?

if this is the new british middle class, i weep for your country.

*mutter* because of health and that.

Everyone dies of heart attacks in my family. I won't.

Because I'm gonna die of misery at not eating cheese.

ooooo - i think i've had that! i think that's the one i used in a sort of philly steak sandwich a la alton brown, made with the chine or whatever he called it, that you end up with if you cut up your own beef tenderloin (boy, do i ever sound like a foody now). anyway, it was, indeed, excellent!

ok, payday on friday: make note, stop by trader joe's on the way home for bread and cheddar with caramelized onions.

(the main problem i have with buying cheese at trader joe's is that while i am looking for the one specific type, i see like 3 others that look good and then suddenly i have a basket full of cheese.)

I'm hungry now. Smile

We're getting a Trader Joe's close to us! An hour away, but it is inching closer. It's one of the very few things I miss from living in DC for several years.

You would have thought Oprah was filming her Christmas episode here when they built ours. People were flipping out. You couldn't go anywhere without strangers asking if you'd heard the news.

I think it's because they sell Charles Shaw wine for $2.49/bottle, personally. Bunch of winos.

I'm just happy with some good mozzarella and some nice plain medium cheddar. Although I love crumbled parmesan on things with tomato sauce.

Oh man, some nice meaty, hearty spaghetti sauce with melted mozzarella on top and crumbled parmesan... And some cheddar on the side for snacking... I am so hungry now.

I cannot wait for Sept. 1 to get here. More cheese! And other food-type objects!

1. Trader Joe's cheddar with caramelized onions
2. TJ's smoked gouda
3. Spicy hummus
4. Pita chips with sea salt
5. Spanikopita (frozen)
6. Personal-size margherita pizza
7. Gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce (frozen)
8. .... $2.49 bottle of cabernet to drink with your cheddar.

There, I've made out your shopping list. Try to spread it out over several weeks, or you may be drowning in cholesterol sooner than you planned.

If you think 1000 day cheddar is too expensive, here's a solution:

1. Buy 1-day cheddar
2. Wait 999 days

Problem solved.

Holy shit Dogen.

I love Gnocchi, Pita And Spanikopita.

*fistbump*

You don't even have to feel bad about spanikopita, it's like greek food for Popeye with all that spinach.

Also fresh tzatziki makes everything even better.
