Ah, la vache!

I opened a three month aged farm cheese this afternoon. This one is special for me. The herbs I used are from my sister and brother-in-law, brought back to me from a recent business trip to France. My sister-in-law, besides being incredible, sweet and talented is also smart. How smart? Like food scientist smart!  The company she works with in France also produces chocolate covered marzipan. I just happen love fresh marzipan! She always brings me goodies, I love her. Sorry, I'm not trying to brag.
 I just wonder sometimes how I ended up so incredibly fortunate and I'm not talking about the marzipan.



Oh right, my cheese. Holy cow, it's good! Half of it I'm going to rewax and give to my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas. Tonight I'm going to use the other half on a grilled cheese with sauteed apples and smoked ham. MMMmmmm. For now, I really must force myself to stop nibbling on it!
