Matters Of Taste

Truffled sheep cheese ? Fuck That Shit. ( i hate cheese )

Russell's Reserve Rye!!

If you've never had rye (as I had hadn't), but like bourbon or Scotch (as I do), you need to try this stuff. It's definitely a whiskey, so think bourbon; but then replace a bit of the typical bourbon sweetness with a spicy, grassy, anise/allspice/pepper zing. Delicious!

Also: fresh cherries ! Holy frikkin yum.

    Odd that you’d bring up truffled sheep cheese:

    We were at the farmer’s market this saturday and my 10 and 8 year old sons were having a great time looking around for free samples. They thought they’d hit the jackpot with some free vanilla bean ice-cream. Turns out, though, it was organically grown truffled goat cheese. I wish I’d had a camera to capture the look on their faces. they may never like goat cheese in their lives.

    ack! i actually shuddered when i read that.

    i welcome them to the club! :)

    personally, i am solidly against any cheese that isn’t one of the canonical pizza or cheeseburger cheeses – no blue/eu or Swiss, either! and it must be melted. i believe this makes me a better person.

    Another very very good rye, is (need to check this name, I might have it wrong) Alberta Premium. And Old Overholt is supposed to be good. Fresh cherries suck in my part of the world and it makes me unhappy.

    Alberta Premium, eh…. googling… reading… only available in Canada! damn that lovely country to the north!

    i’m not sure where the cherries i get come from (before they get to the supermarket), but they’re been good for the past few weeks. i usually get the Rainier variety, but they’ve been a little hard to find this year. the standard red ones are really good right now, though.

    No way dude, cheese is awesome, especially a good bleu.

    That’s right, I remember now, I bought Alberta Premium in the duty free shop last time I was in Toronto. We got fresh cherries out of the backyard when I lived in Modesto and they were a beautiful thing.
