Just popped in the oven bacon wrapped apple and cheddar stuffed pork chops. Mashed potatoes, sugar snap peas and carrots will complete it.

It's kind of funny, but I sell some product to high end cheese shops. The heads of those kinds of shops, called Cheese Mongers, while cool guys are definitely snobs when it comes to cheese. Cabot is viewed as schwag and called wax bars. :lol:

Personally, I'm down with Cabot and have a similar back ground as steeze with their store in Waterbury.

never realized it was in waterbury. remeber the round bread rols they had? you could take all the sample cheese and nuke it. that stuff always made the trip back to burlington soo much better.

Cabot is kinda swaggy (More then OK for cooking)...farmhouse, unpastureized cheddar is where it's at....like shelburn farms....you used to be able to go and volenteer to help wax. At the end of the day Ross would let you sample some of the "not for sale" goods. He gave me some 3 year old cheddar that was crunchy with calcium. A bit much for snacking, but in a nice sauce....Yow!

From my experience, Cabot is OK for a commercial-grade, mass production cheese. I've always liked smaller batch cheeses. There is a fine small cheese producer here in NW NJ, Bobolink Dairy. Organically raised cows that are only pasture-fed. Different batches of cheese will taste different based on the different grasses and herbs on the pasture the cows grazed prior to being milked.

Their cheddar, drum and frolic cheeses are my favorite.

And they make some ass-kicking breads in their brick ovens.

me too:spread:

same batch of leftovers i had last night!

I guess mine could be considered leftovers too. Stopped by a friends house and they were having it and I asked if I could get a hunk of it:lol: Being single and living alone you tend to not make a lot of this type of food cause you end up eating it for 2 weeks.

I'm going to be suprised when I get home from the office in 15 minutes :eek: I'm hoping it will have something to do with the package of chicken legs that have been in the fridge the last couple of days ;)
