Lunch, Saturday, August 3, 2013

Strawberries, sheep cheese, Traditional Chex Mix and sweet iced tea. Arranged on a colorful tray I lucked into at Joanne's last Saturday when I had the Zipcar for hours and hours of errands. A 70% off sale on outdoor dining items. Besides the tray, I got the cup, too. So, they're meant for children, but I don't care. It's a way to exercise portion control, don't you know?

As far as I'm concerned, the best sheep cheese, ever. With Sole di Sardegna in my life, I don't miss cheddar cheese. This stuff is so fine, eaten at room temperature as it was at lunch yesterday, with various complimentary foods. Shredded for tacos or burritos or chili or spaghetti and meatballs. Or melted as the insides of divine grilled cheese sandwiches.

Hate to tell you this, but it expired in April....

I recently began to try new foods, one of which has been cheeses! I have found a few smoked varieties that I have become quite find of. Haven't found a BlueCheese that doesn't make my hair curl but maybe it's just not for me! Always enjoy reading your posts even though I don't comment!

Dear Anonymous, there is nothing wrong with the cheese. My son, who knows about these things since he works at a food purveyor, says it is more than likely the born-on date for the cheese, not an expiration date. But, heh, thanks for looking at each photo! That's great! And thanks for commenting, too!

The strawberries and cheese work for me. You can have the chex and iced tea.

Er.... "da consumarsi entro il" translates to "To be consumed by".
Of course, they might mean 4 Dec 2013.... ;-)

Anonymous, my son who bought the wheel of cheese for me at his place of work checked when he arrived there this morning. It is indeed the best if consumed by date of 4 December 2013, in the European fashion of recording a date. So, like I said, there's nothing wrong with the cheese. I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Thanks for thinking of the other way to look at the date and for translating the Italian. Thanks for taking the time to let me know, too.
