I absolutely love cheese. I think it goes back to the fact that my gramma always had cheese on the table (along with bread, butter, pickles and cottage cheese) at every lunch and supper. I have more experience than most in my life with different cheeses....but I am still basically a cheese virgin when you think of all the cheeses out there. I am having lap band surgery and one of the foods they encourage at your meals is cheese because it is both a diary and a protein and some fat. I think I may do a cheese a month thing....trying a new one each month...really whenever I feel like it but you have inspired me to at least do it once a month. I love strong cheese. Right now my favorite and maybe my most exotic is hard asiago wedges. And one of things I have craved most while on my preop diet is a good sharp cheddar. What could be better to go with my cheese than your wonderful books?? except maybe delicious bread...but that will come later. Your books are not only great for the mind...they dont have calories.
