Recently my mom took me to a Whole Foods for the first time, and I went to town on the place. Not buying things - their food is expensive! - but eating the samples.
The samples, the samples, the glorious samples! They had chocolate pita chips, which sound strange but taste delicious, and vegetable chips, and three kinds of cheese on display: a cream cheese and something else and a brie with special fruit-and-nut crackers to spread it on.
Their cheese display in general was just beautiful. Somehow, without noticing or planning it, I’ve become obsessed with cheese. I have two kinds of sharp cheddar and two kinds of blue cheese in my fridge, and when I need to motivate myself I promise to buy myself goat cheese for ever goal reached. (Goat cheese: the engine that ran my grad school applications.)
I think I should branch out a little. Not in order to forsake cheddar and blue cheese, but to taste the other cheeses of the world. Jarlsberg, gouda, edam, brie - I’ve had brie before, and I like it, but it’s too expensive to buy regularly. Sheep’s cheese. Can you make cheese out of any kind of animal milk? Is there elephant cheese? (Oh, oh, for the real connoisseur: dolphin cheese! I just googled it. It exists.)
Anyway, after despoiling the Whole Foods sample cases, I purchased a box of biscotti. Where have biscotti been all my life?????? Lying around being expensive at me, apparently. I’m going to learn how to make them and life will be delicious.
