food adventure

so honestly one of the reasons i am returning to the no bread life is that i want to eat cheese and not feel guilty. yes the guilt is of my own creation but i also find that when i eat as much cheese as i like AND as many carbs as i like -  i have to go buy new clothes because the old ones somehow shrink when i am not looking. so. today i went out and bought cheese. somehow no one i knew from the cheese mafia was working, so the cheese addicted/restricted mister looked on and tried to help me pick out cheeses that would be fun. which in a way was probably both fun and torture.  so here is what i got.

Dutch Maasdammer
wow what an expected odor when i opened it up. i had also just poured some wine so i was all - this wine smells odd. but the flavor? butter heaven with just a teeny tiny underlying naughtiness that lingered. i like.

Salemville Gorgonzola
the cheese mafia writes that it is good in salads. they are very very wise people. wow.

and now what i haven't opened yet:
Pt Reyes Farmstead BLUE
Widmer XSharp Cheddar (aged 4 yrs)
Longhorn Cheddar
Bravo Silver Mountain Cheddar
French Cantal
Pepper Jack

thanks for all the cheese suggestions - next time i print out that list before i go to the store
:)

i started to make a suggestion, but then i got distracted... here's my cheese suggestion...

Geitost (pronounced "Yay-Toast")
Its norwegian and usually packaged as a little red plastic cube.
And it taste like very smooth cheese.
Very smooth chocolate cheese.
But not in the totally digusting way you might think.

hilarious
no the cheese
sometimes when they have the chocolatey thing going on they are extra sugary and since i am carb watching and sugar = carbs it would be a no go
