I just hope its not cigarette ash.

Market, yessir.
Cheese, bingo bango bongo.
I forgot to get the name of teh cheese. I'm sick. So a little bit out of it. I detest being in public when I'm sick. But I had to go to market. Evidement.


This cheese is quite good. It is actually a tad bit spicy. I think. My taste buds might be tricking me with this cold. Its very creamy and 7/10ths smelly. There is also ask in the middle. That's the black line you see. It is quite a good addition. But, what kind of ash is it. Better not be cigarette ash because I eat enough of that shizz accidentally in my kitchen.

Fromage II

Mmmm Fromage. Seriously. Just the facts today people. I went to market again. It wasn't as lively and full of the certain french-i-ness that it had last weekend. I think it comes from the amount of rain we've been having. The french like to hole-up as it is on Sundays, but even more when it rains. But I nonetheless got some amazing cheese. I was trying a few different types, but then this one hit me. And VOILA, decision was made.


It is a slightly strong chevre. When it is a tad cool it has a crumbly texture in the mouth, when room temp or warmer it is nice and gooey. mmmm. I am currently eating it with a Provence Pear and it is divine. I think I like it better when warmer and gooey.


I also bought this massive mushroom. I'm planning on having it for lunch some day this week. Potentially wednesday when I have a 3 hour break in between classes. I need to buy some mozz or possibly parm to cook with it. hmmm the possibilities.


Well I am off to write my glorious Hinckley Intern paper. Gotta get done at some point right? Yes yes, oh yay. To quote the Streets.
Signing off,

Fromagggggggggge---
I have started on my quest through the cheese land which is akin to heaven in my eyes. I am buying a new cheese every time I go to market/the store. I will keep track on here. Provided with descriptions and very, Very, VERY jealousy envoking pictures. Enjoy!
This is the first one. C'est Tomme Brébis. It was aged for 3 mois. 3 months. They also had the same aged for 6 mois ET 30 (THIRTY!!!) mois. I tried it, I think 2nd, and there were about 9 cheeses. and I KNEW it was the one I was buying. It's absolutely delectable.


It is quite soft (only aged for 3 months) and creamy. It's not very sharp, but has almost an earthy flavor. It is also slightly sweet, and fairly rich.


I will keep everyone updated, even if you don't want to read about it. We also bought some jambon cru (aged ham) that was aged for a year. Yes, be jealous. Except those vegetarians out there. Just be, except understand what you're missing. Love this market. Love the damn thing. I'm already sad to think about not being able to go to it....and it's the 13th of septembre! nevermind, I'm reveling in the fact that I have 10 more months.
