We love cheese

The other night, whilst perusing the late night grocer for something for supper, Sweetheart had the idea to get a bunch of different cheeses and some crackers and just have a little free for all. I thought it was a great idea and bought some Ben and Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Crunch ice cream to go along with it.

I love letting Sweetheart pick out cheeses or new foods for me to try...this is becuase he always manages to get something that I wouldn't dare try on my own, and it's always delicious. (Except for the whole leek fiasco that I won't go into now).

He picked out about 4 cheeses that were all equally delicious and I nearly burst from stuffing my face, they were that good. I don't really buy any bleu cheese becuase the look of them usually puts me off. Somehow Sweetheart knows how to get around the looks thing and pick out something spectacular.

At any rate, the next day, I was bragging to Rue about the Cheese and Crackers (and Ice Cream) picnic we had, while we walked to her flat.

We discussed with much fervor the risk of spending money on an unknown cheese, for fear that it will taste as bad as it looks.

The woman walking in front of us, upon hearing our chat about cheese, stopped abruptly and turned around.

'I couldn't help but over hear you talking about cheese,' She said to our surprised faces. 'If you like cheese, I highly recommend h. Mellis on Great Western Road...they let you try the cheese there in the store. Mind you, they aren't cheap, but you can get some really great things in there.'

I've heard of H. Mellis before, and I had been ready to suggest it to Rue before the lady turned around. But, no matter...

At any rate, that's Glasgow...people always looking to help and to share and to be overall friendly.

Today the weather is patchy grey skies with intermittant moments of misty rain.
