    Yep. Like BMO3, I'm a big fan of GOOD cheese (note: does not include anything called "cheese food") DH likes good cheese too, but he doesn't like the stronger or stinkier types- but oooh I like them ALL! We made a special trip to a gourmet cheese shop owned by a real Frenchman last month- he imports special cheeses and you can of course taste them before buying. TOO WONDERFUL! Afterwards, we make our special cheeses last a while, eating little portions every day like treats...

    Making a big ol' crock pot of vicchysoisse.

    Now I want the CHEESE and wine to go with it!!!

    Oooh, a nice stinky cheese to offset the onion and potato... a robust smooth red wine to go with the cheese (and to sip with dark chocolate for dessert)

    Or maybe a delicate crumbly farmer's cheese with a dry white wine, and pears for dessert?

    Or neither, since I have no $$ and don't get paid until Monday. Poo.

    DH is an all cheese kind. Strong, stinky, whatever. I am not a cheese person. Except Queso.

    Vicchysoisse was a spelling word of mine in 4th grade. My fabulous teacher liked to sneak words in like that, gosh she was amazing.

    Knotted- Our new HEB Plus (grocery store) has an entire gluten free section. I thought of you when I saw it.

    Vicchysoisse is done. I vote for the crumbly dry farmer's cheese, white wine, and pears.

    Maybe I'll freeze some, so I can have it later with the cheese, wine, and pears. After payday.

    (AA: ooh, a whole gluten-free section! very cool! OffTheGrid, Wahine, and I will be over shortly!)

    Gee, Knot, now you've met my whole family! I felt bad today because I couldn't just hang back with you. Three is a slightly tough number of riders because there's always one out. But maybe I made some brownie points with my son because I kept Megan occupied while he went car hunting (unsuccessfully again).

    I had leftovers for lunch AND dinner. now off to do some house chores

    Oh tomorrow, we're doing a south end ride, if any Seattle folks are interested.

    Knott - have you ever thought of changing careers to become a private GF chef. I'd hire you if I could afford you. Especially on IM years. I'd love to have someone cooking for me everyday. DH is not so adept in the kitchen I'm afraid and I'm too picky to let him learn by experience.

    Ooh, an everyday chef? Can I get one too? You could help me re-introduce foods and figure out which ones are killers and which ones aren't. Wanna?

    Fabulous idea!

    Aggie, you should see our yard. I don't have enough energy to take care of this, let alone someone else's yard!! Nope, didn't get on my bike, but DH took his new carbon fibre road bike around the block a few times. You should have seen his grin when he got home! I guess tomorrow we'll have to decide which bikes to take. I'm voting for mountain! That's where my heart really is.

    Yummy dinner. T is full now. mmmmmmmmmmmm

    Yeah, private GF chef for triathletes who can also do PTA adjustments! There's your niche market. Go for it.
