fromage du jour: asiago fresco as detailed elsewhere, tonight was cheese night. tonight's cheese was a soft, two-months-aged young asiago cheese made from the same alpine milk as the hard stuff we usually grate over pasta. creamy, full of tiny little holes like a swiss lace, slightly sweet, slightly tangy and yummy.

i dumped a pile of organic apricot and ginger chutney on the top but i think i was the only one who liked it. sorry, no pictures. everyone devoured the cheese too fast, and besides, my digital camera was lost in a taxi recently.

i'm thinking that next week, for cheese night, i'd like to pair a cheese with chocolate. time to do some research!  ¶ Tuesday, September 26, 2006
