Special Cheese Delivery!

I am so torn about our very good friends' upcoming move to Oregon. I
will miss their proximity, but I so look forward to the gourmet
adventures that await us!

On a recent visit to their new home they were kind enough to offer to
pick up some cheese to deliver back to me here in Manhattan Beach.

The Rogue River Blue was sold out, but my number two choice was
available - Caveman Blue. Creamy, meaty blue cheese with a lingering
finish.

I brought it out at the recent QuesoBeso tasting event and the 1/2
wheel sold immediately! That's good cheese!

Make it Big! It just makes sense.

Our Sunday night pot roast dinner was interrupted by an invitation and while we did eat a bit of the roast, and it was lovely, most of it was saved for later in the week.  Last night we had the leftovers and I have to say, the thing cooks say about foods getting better over time... it is just SOOO true. 
So, why don't I always make a double batch when I'm making anything that is braised, slow roasted. And come to think about it,  any soup or stew too! 
I've been cooking for a long time. I suppose some lessons take longer than others? 
New house rule: MAKE IT BIG! Carefully save the leftovers in the freezer or refrigerator. Take advantage of a night off of cooking knowing the dinner waiting in the freezer is even BETTER than the fabulous slow cooked meal you made over the weekend!
Enjoy!
