{my favorite cheeses and how i like them}

port salut

to bring me wayyy back,

when a three year old me would

send mum to the store just for this cheese

{...and when i don't like cheese}

-at receptions when it's served in cubes along side crackers.

it's always such a game to see how one really does get equal proportions of cheese and cracker. it's just so impractical! i realize cubes probably look better than slices, but, people, let's be real. i'm done fighting with my cheese.

-when it slides off of my koronet pizza after the first bite.

-cottage cheese. BLECH.

-when my poor blocks of pecorino romano get mold :-( r.i.p.

nevertheless...

i love cheese!!

you got any faves??
