Douglas, I notice that you are a repeat toothpick user. At the Bi-rite these days, they have taken to putting out cheese samples at the most popular time for shoppers. From about 5:30 on, there are delightful little ramekins full of little bites of cheese—midnight moon, piave, vella mezzo, pecorino with truffles, sareanah farmstead, reggiano. the dry cheese section of the bi-rite is the perfect place to end an early evening run. if you are sweaty and bright red in the face, no one else will even come near the cheese samples and you can easily eat the whole little dish of queso iberico, using only one toothpick. and sometimes, in the refrigerated section, they have a little plate of crackers spread with a luscious dollop of Humboldt Fog, a delicious aged goat cheese that while having a creamy texture, is decidedly not a cream cheese.

The name of the cheese
As a youngster, I really liked the book "I Am The Cheese" by Robert Cormier. I think it's time for a re-read. As I recall, "The Chocolate War", also by Robert Cormier, was pretty good too. Those books, along with "A Separate Peace" (John Knowles), "Catcher in the Rye" (Jerome David Salinger), and the major Hollywood movies "School Ties" (Brendan Fraser) and "Dead Poets Society" (Robert Sean Leonard) made me so glad I never had to attend an elite all boys prep school on the East Coast. Based on the above evidence, it just seems like those places were hotbeds of misery that specialized in producing teenage souls blackened like little pieces of charred toast. Also the death rate at such schools seems to be alarmingly high. On the other hand, the popular television program "The Facts of Life" and the novel "The Bell Jar" made it seem like elite girls schools on the East Coast were really fun places where everyone roller-skated around and made out with charismatic British poets.

Velvet revolution
When are we going to talk about Velveeta? I was just online visiting the Kraft Foods Interactive Kitchen, and I noticed some really cool recipes using Velveeta. Like one called "Golden Sauce". Also, Velveeta has other uses, such as: my dad used a block of Velveeta to teach our dog, Pepsi, to sit & shake. And when are we going to talk about QUESO? Oh my god, there's something called Cheese Fudge and you can make it with Velveeta. Things are looking up. lka
