So my gal pals and I have this little "club" called the GGG (Girls Gastronomical Get-together). We will be expanding our group to include spouses, significant others, whomever for the next fete, of which I am the host.
We typically have a theme like Middle Eastern, Mexican, Tapas.
I've chosen cheese.
I am a cheesehead. A cheesemonger. I belong to the SCA (Specialist Cheesemakers Association). I am hardcore about cheese.
Like, if cheese were a loudmouth, backwoods Alaskan female republican, I would have overlooked the insanity and voted for it.
I am really looking forward to this soiree as I will be taking it a step further and pairing cheeses with wine and beer.
My favorite cheese of all time is Drunken Goat. I like it a little sweaty, and while the aroma is somewhat heady, the taste is heavenly.
A second favorite is Morbier. It's soooo stinky, but the layer of ash and the soft yet tart taste, with the mixture of morning milk and evening milk, is to die for.
Another charming selection (and quite peculiar) is Gjetost. Norwegian caramel goat cheese. 'Nuff said.
I am seeking out new cheeses to add to the selections, and attendees are encourages to bring their favorites for others to taste.
I. Cannot. Wait.
