Beijing Cheese
At the local supermarket in Beijing there is only one type of cheese that we like. It is called “Beijing Cheese”.
It seems that people don’t eat that much cheese in Beijing, or in all of China for that matter. Cheese is pretty much served only in Western restaurants and fast-food places.
Beijing Cheese is delicious, though. It tastes like white cheddar blended with a few other cheeses. It is bold enough for our tastes, but not too strong.
We add a few slices of it to our bowls of pasta, and we use it in grilled cheese sandwiches. It tastes wonderful melted.
The creamy white color of Beijing Cheese is beautiful. Life in Beijing isn’t bad at all when you have Beijing Cheese!
Rotini with Three-Cheese Sauce and Parmesan
I made a bowl of rotini, topped with three-cheese sauce. Then I ate some of the rotini.
Unfortunately, I could hardly taste the cheeses in the three-cheese sauce. Fortunately, I had some grated parmesan in the fridge.
I topped the bowl with lots of grated parmesan. Then I mixed the pasta, sauce, and cheese. Finally, I ate it. I am such a cheese basket!
Ziti Pasta Topped with Edam
Sloan and I were hungry yesterday, so we ate bowls of ziti topped with tomato sauce and melted edam.
I have never eaten edam in this way before. It is surprisingly delicious when melted. It retains its distinctive taste, yet its strength is softened a bit by the melting.
