I  Cheese


For a Valentine's treat I headed over to my favorite cheese shop, Venissimo, to pick up some tasty eats for John and me so we had something to nibble on while we waited for the chili to cook.  I knew we were going to drink some bubbly with the cheese and said so to the woman who was helping me at Venissimo ( as a side note--this must be one of the best jobs around, and I would gladly sacrifice some weekend hours to devote to the cheese shop, in exchange for cheese of course).  A gleam came to her eye and she started pulling out the most delicious selection of French cheeses--a triple cream brie, a hard and swiss-tasting cheese named Comte, a salty blue cheese Saint Agur, and our favorite of the day ewephoria.  Ewephoria tastes like an aged gouda and it was super sweet and delicious, perfect with the elegant bottle of Taittinger champagne we shared.  Talk about true love!
