I can't help myself Buffalo Mozzarella
So, I went to the store armed with a list. I had been home sick a few days before, so bread was what I really needed to keep things calm. I was starving (never, never do this, I know this!). Then I walk by the table, ohhhh, I asked "What is that?", Buffalo Mozzarella, no vinegar in the brine, I had one taste.....
You know where this is going. It was sweet, creamy, not salty, and melted on my tongue. Hey, cheese goes with bread right?
So then I go to bread section, they over baked for the school vacation so buy one get one free. Oh man this bad for me. Then I see these yellow vine ripe tomatoes, fresh basil after a small backtrack. I'm done.

Cheese
I love cheese, no seriously, I love cheese. A good cheese store is worth it weight in Gouda. A few of my favorite cheese stores are East Village Cheese Shop. This is one of the places I learned to love a good smelly cheese. But since I'm no longer in the 10003 zip code, I've had to find other resources. Here in the Boston area, I love the cheese counter at Russo's. I have found some wonderful finds at Wasik's or the Cheese Shop in Wellesley. The cheese mongers are the key to a great shop.
So after a long day at work, I went to shop at Russo's and at the cheese counter asked some thing good and creamy. I got Brescianella Stagionata, WARNING: This cheese smells like old socks left in the gym bag. It tastes nothing like that however. Here is my dinner plate, the only thing missing is the Chardonnay I had with it. The Brescianella was rich and creamy with a full flavor. Next time I would add some olives to the plate.
