As usual the weekend flew by far too fast. Mr. Cheese and I took a much-needed day off on Saturday and drove up to Crossville, TN for the Homestead Apple Festival. We brought home some regionally made and/or grown goodies that I'm super-excited about (yes, I get that excited about food): Mutsu apples, hot sauce, 4-year cheddar from a local cheesemaker, and blackberry jam and pickles from the Mennonite community in Sparta.
We also bought some Norwegian Ski Queen Gjetost cheese at the cheese shop. I sampled a tiny cube of it at the cheese shop and was intrigued, but it was the cool packaging that convinced me I had to have it. Ohhhh myyy....If you're a cheese lover, you must try this unusual cheese. The creamy texture and caramel color and flavoring are unlike anything I've ever tasted. We tried it sliced super-thin on a crusty wheat baguette and it was heavenly. I could eat this every day. Mmmmm...breakfast cheese...
How was your weekend?
mmm cheese!!
ReplyDeletei invited my friends for hari raya (its like xmas but for muslim), this saturday will be hari raya open house for relatives... expecting 50-60 pax coming, its gonna be tiring
ReplyDeleteIt's quite unusual for non-Norwegians to like that goat cheese :-) I used to eat it when I was as a kid (probably because a boy I had a crush on in kindergarten always had it on his sandwiches, so I did too). A lot of people like to have it on buttered waffles.
ReplyDeleteNever seen this brand or packaging before. Looks cool.
i love it when you say MR. CHEESE. for some reason i am picturing beverly cleary's "the motorcycle mouse". i think that is what it is called? cute kid book.
ReplyDeleteand i have to try that cheese!!!!
Yum, you've made me hungry! Need to get out to a local orchard and pick up some fall goodness in the form of donuts, apples, ciders, etc. Cheese would be a perfect accompaniment!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun outing. I think I need to buy that cheese just for the name!
ReplyDeleteFresh and tasty...you got me! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to eat loads of that cheese in college. so good!
