Brie and Triscuits
Triscuits are not the most appealing crackers to eat with brie. They are quite salty, and the salt distracts from the natural goodness of the brie.
Nevertheless, last night I ate many Triscuits with brie.
I’ve almost used up the large wedge of brie that I bought last week. It is sad because soon I will have no more cheese. Well, I do have some cheeses in the freezer that I can melt, at least.
Cheese Loves Me
I was at the grocery store the other day, in the cheese section, of course. Remember how I bought a wedge of brie? That was the day.
As I was leaning over the cheese display, I noticed that some of the cheeses were jumping! I had no idea why, but I thought it was cute, so I didn’t report it.
A wedge of Coeur de Lion Le Brie jumped high enough to brush my cheek with a kiss. What a nice cheese! I just had to buy it, because it loved me. And so I bought it.
Brie Sandwiches
Today I made Brie sandwiches, using “Enriched Finger Rolls”. I grilled them like grilled cheese sandwiches.
They were delightful, like little puffs of clouds.
I accidentally burned them a little, so I had to scrape off the burnt part. But despite that, they were delicious.
Coeur de Lion Le Brie
I haven’t been buying cheeses lately. But today I gave in and bought a beautiful wedge of Coeur de Lion Le Brie.
It was on sale for $7.99/lb (normally it costs $8.99/lb). The wedge I bought was $5.57.
I was considering buying a piece of Havarti instead, because it melts so nicely. I was looking at the prices - $4.49 for a little block of Havarti, versus $5.57 for a superwedge of Brie. The superwedge was clearly the winner, for its largeness.
It was packed on April 18, 2005, and its “sell by” date is May 2, 2005. That leaves me over 12 days to eat it. I think it won’t be a problem at all.
