I like Triscuits!!

Lobelia - you mentioned a grocery that has a nice cheese display. We have that here in Wegman's and I have found the people who behind the counter LOVE to make recommendations and allow you to taste a lot of different cheeses. Maybe your store will do that for you.

If I'd known sooner you could have had the leftover brie that I found lurking and furry in the back of the fridge and stinking the whole thing out. Strong words were had with the household cheese-snarfler.

We have a few really, really good cheese shops near us. One even sells *gasp!* unpasteurized cheese!

They're always more than happy to have you try whatever they have. I can't even walk in there without dropping $50 or $60, but it's so freaking good!

They sell a really nice smoked gouda that I use to make macaroni and cheese (makes it taste like it has bacon in it), so yummy!

We also have a really good greek grocery store I think I mentioned upthread that has the greatest deli - a feta bar, an olive bar, and really great meats and cheeses at great prices. I love going there and stocking up! Hmmm, maybe a trip there is in order this weekend. With a quick stop at the cheese shop

and a couple of bottles of wine! Sounds like my weekend plans are in order!

Yeah, I'm surprised at the smoked cheese hate.

This is a Kroger that just remodeled and now has a market look/feel to it which is wonderful. Very nice shopping experience. However, the employees are still standard grocery store employees, which are quite often very nice helpful people. But the sullen-looking young woman behind the counter just looked like she wanted to go home and while you can't judge a book by its cover, I just didn't pick up a feeling that she knew a damn thing about cheese. I'll reassess next time I go in

Sounds like we've planned exactly the same weekend

Smoked cheese-I have to cut the outside off, most are away too smokey for my taste. Or maybe you are supposed to do that?

I made a brie and Apple quesadilla and dipped it in raspberry couli. Happy happy girl.

i love triscuits. though only the original ones or the low sodium ones (those are the best, even better than the original). i tried a few of the flavoured ones and they're nice at first but then quickly become cloying and now i'm over them and back to plain.
they're yummy, crunchy and delicious and i think i just really love the texture.

triscuits remind me of shredded wheat.

This totally occurred to me.

I went shopping Sunday and got provolone, Swiss, white cheddar, brie and a roasted garlic/herb spread. And made a grilled cheese sandwich. It was awful but so freakin' delicious. Melty and gooey and sexy...

Oh my fucking god, what a mouth orgasm.

If you have an Aldi near you, they stock some high end cheeses for reasonable prices. A wheel of smoked gouda is like $3 at my Aldi, and HyVee sells it for at least $6. I know they also have goat cheese and others. You totally have no guilt about buying a ton of fancy cheeses.
