Entry for September 06, 2006

One of the ladies at work is leaving our department and going to another. She might even be going to first shift, dont know, but she is leaving us. We all like her, so a sandwich bar potluck was organised. The sign up sheet was put up in our department, and I signed up to bring cheese, how easy is that? So after work, I went on into our local store and figured I would get 1/4 pound of a few different types. I dont want to sound cheap, but I wont be the only one bringing cheese, I hope. Last time I did this, I brought home most of the cheese, so I didnt want to  go overboard again.

Anyway, I tasted this one cheese, called farmers cheese. I loved it. It was a cross between Mozzerella and chedder, very creamy, white cheese. YUM. I love cheese.

OK, so what I wanted to actually tell you East coast folks about, is our yummy cheeses and bread we have out here. I know every reagion has their own special foods that they have to have. Whether it is pizza, blintzes, coney dogs, or that spaghetti with chili stuff. Every place has a special food that they do great. Out here, we have this bread that can only be made in the Bay area. That is around SanFrancisco, it is a sour dough bread with a nice crusty crust and dense, but not heavy bread part. The smell is sour, but not nasty sour. More like a sharp smell, I want to put my nose up close to the inside and breath in deep to get the whole effect of the smell and taste of the bread. I wish I could send each of you a laof of this bread for you to taste, it is so good.

We also have Jack cheese. I know, your all saying, we have Jack cheese, Lisa. But you dont have Sonoma Jack cheese. It is a creamy white cheese, mild, and I love it. It is my utimate favorite cheese.  It is so good. When we lived in Patulama, we would take day trips and go to Sonoma, then to the the Deli there, get some sandwich style loaf bread, sliced cheese, and some nice Italian Dry Salami. We would make a sandwich and have lunch in the park across the street. It was so good. I really miss this. This si a pic of the deli we always went to . There are others, but I like this one. I just had to let you know a piece of our food culture out here. We have great bread on the coast, and really great cheese. If your in Wisconson, try ours one day. I like ours better
