whole foods was having a lovely cheese tasting this weekend. I absolutely loved the Irish Cheddar I tried- it was nutty and sweet. So I bought some of it, and some Havarti, and some Edam and I'm going to put out a cheese tray for dinner, with crusty fresh baguettes. Also, for the adults, I found some really super dessert wines. I bought a Muscat, a late harvest Riesling (with Botyritis) and a late harvest Chardonnay(who knew they had late harvest Chardonnay? I have not seen one before) and a Monbazillac, and something called honey wine- which the label said was like a Mead. I can't WAIT for dinner. Also bought a Blueberry Zinfandel sorbet for dessert. We had a lovely lunch. Oranges stuffed with sorbet for starters, then a super cream of pumpkin soup (which I made with half and half so it wouldn't be so awfully bad for us) and then on to a lovely Indian meal of bean masala and dal bahaar, with fragrant rice and nan bread. The children ate everything, so you KNOW it was good. And they want to eat it again. Thank goodness. I saw Derbyshire Heavy Double cream at Whole Foods and I nearly bought some. But I figured with fat content like that I might as well apply it topically. However I did buy some creme Fraiche, it wasn't quite as horribly caloric. And Whole Foods had key lime cookies. I can't wait to try them. I also tried this Loco lime soda- BLECH. It comes in Raspberry, blackberry, mango and lime- and they mix the juice with chile. I gave it a try but it was awful. The friend I went with said she thought it would be good with vodka, but then anything tastes ok after you are smashed. I'm not sure that is a good enough reason to drink something.
