Oh, cheese, I love you so.
The greatest thing about cheese is that when you accept cheese her your heart, she gives love back to you. Unlike most snacks, cheese is a real food with real nutrients and real character.
Really delicious food encourages mindful, healthy eating. I can scarf down 200 calories of potato chips in an instant and still not feel satisfied, but eating the same amount of aged gouda is ten minutes of meditation. I nibble and chew and enjoy the sweet, caramelly goodness of it all.
Chevre just cries out to be accompanied by sliced, ripe tomatoes and fresh basil, a mound of sauteed greens or maybe a bit of honey.
Bleu cheese loves nothing better than to be crumbled atop a huge green salad.
Paneer would never be seen in public without her best friend, mounds of perfectly spiced spinach.
Cheddar prefers the company of sliced onion, a whole-grain roll and plenty of Branston pickle.
To paraphrase Emma Goldman, if I can't have cheese, I don't want to be part of your revolution.
Cheese. Yum.

Or Gouda. One of my favorite memories with DH was lying half-out of a tent at the top of a mountain eating smoked Gouda and watching an eclipse of the moon.

I have a lovely chunk of applewood smoked white cheddar in my fridge. I slice off a tiny 1 oz piece every couple of days, if I've been a good girl. It's my treat to myself.

Fave low maintenance dinner - some nice cheese, walnuts, an apple or pear, a few crackers, and a glass of wine. Remember the softer cheeses are higher in butter fat than the hard cheeses, consider your *sin* count accordingly.
Went to a wine and cheese tasting sponsored by a local wine shop a while back, very interesting and tasty. Amazing how some wines or cheese tasted differently - separate then paired together.Beth
