Back on the block

It felt good to step into DiBruno's today...its like being transported back in time.  Zeke was there so of course I received top notch customer service.  I suppose I could easily go to Suburban Square but I like the feel of 9th Street.

I wanted a brie because that last fiasco I bought just didn't cut it and its' still in the fridge. He suggested that I melt it on garlic bread...an excellent plan for unwanted cheese. I bought some ciabattini so that I can serve it with tonight's dinner. 

He had the moses sleeper in stock but upgraded me to harbison @ $30/lb and it's the best brie I've ever tasted.  Of course I bought primadonna...he said its a chemical in the packaging that is the source of controversy for naturalists. 

I went all out with the $40/lb aged pleasant ridge reserve, a Wisconsin gruyere that continues to win awards...of course I bought just a sliver. He recommended that I read about it in the Mastering Cheese text.

Finally I purchased a New York aged cheddar for the kids, @ $10/lb, it beats seaside hands down.
I hit the jackpot with the family blend decaf that I didn't know existed and have brewed two cups this afternoon.

An excellent shopping experience as always.
