My new favorite place to buy neat cheese is... Safeway. Yes, Safeway. Not Whole Foods. The Whole Foods in San Ramon (and its parking lot) is why there's a waiting period to buy guns. Anyway, Safeway--in it's determination to be like Whole Foods but with Ho Hos and Pepsi products--has put in a little cooler with gourmet cheeses right next to its new olive bar. My thing is to try one new cheese every time I go in there, and the two cheeses I've tried so far have been hits. A few weeks ago I tried Dubliner Irish cheese and really liked it (good with stout!). Last week I picked up some white Stilton with lemon peel and loved it. I cannot get enough of this cheese. They suggest on the label to chop it up and serve in a green salad, which is excellent. I read somewhere to try it on a gingersnap. Must do that.

I'm just interested in way too much stuff.
