Cheese shop



Tonight we had some amazing cheeses including a BOSIAN one (no, not Bosnia, but Bosia in Italia) called Langherino (read link for funny English). OK, try to find that in your cheese store. Mmmm! Cheese is really one of the most incredibly good foods. I wonder who made the first cheese? Someone that by mistake dumped some acid (wine, vinegar, lemon juice) in boiling milk? Scooped out the curds and then forgot them, and voila' - aged cheese? When I can't sleep I think about these things. The first bread, the first meatball, the first chile relleno - how and when did it happen? Except recently, after reading the book Catching Fire - How cooking made us human, I guess I mainly have been thinking about the first steak and baked sweet potato. I wonder what the hominid was thinking when he ate a baked tuber the first time, don't you?

PS. Kids and PP - thanks for all the firewood work today, you are all amazing.
