reikaHad an unexpected craving for blue cheese yesterday. I usually am not a fan -- some of the blues that I've tasted were too overpowering and pungent. In the world of stinky cheese, I'm still a beginner. I don't think my palate is sophisticated enough to appreciate them just yet.
The cheesemonger at Murray's, though, was great. I asked him to suggest one for me, and he picked out Bleu d'Auvergne. He said that it was a "good beginner's blue," and even their site supports this by saying that the cheese is "mellow and meaty."
Dinner was quite nice & simple last night: half a baguette and a green salad with toasted walnuts and honeycrisp apples with bites of blue cheese. That was nice.
