m4l…I eat cheese as dessert a lot. Saraghina has an excellent cheese course.

You and I should go over to Ideal cheese and we’ll get your wife some stuff that she’ll love

oh WOW!!! i just googled vinegar pasta salad and it’s a real thing!!! (hmmm i only have the first two ingredients, do you think the other ingredients are necessary?) wait, i have a frozen bag of collard greens, would that work in this kind of salad?. im afraid of mixing all this stuff together and ruin my food supplies for the next 5 days lol, i did that last time making a big thing for a bunch of meals and stupidly adding gross ass okra into it. there’s a reason okra is ALWAYS on sale at the supermarket: it’s gross

Arkady, yeah, most of the times I see it at 18 or so.

DIBS, wife like eating the cheese as a snack – ie cheese platter. she got me eating it too.

m4l – CostCo also has it for about $9. & it’s very good. Fairway has high & low – the really aged is quite expensive.

It’s on Smith St but they don’t always have it for $9.00
