Toothsome offender

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. MY NAME IS: Leslie Kather­ine Albrecht

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
