From cherries to cheese

I'm starting to think I've substituted my cherry addiction with cheese.  It's to the point now that I'm satisfying my hunger with cheese and a piece of fruit.  According to Mastering Cheese, the tyrosine in the cheese is fostering this addiction. 

I dashed to Whole Foods this evening between dropping my son off at soccer practice and heading to my daughter's second back to school night.  I bought concord grapes because they reminded me of the grape juice I used to drink as a child - I think this was a mistake though because my lips started itching, I kept eating them anyway, until my throat started to itch; I also picked up the metropolitan brie, but then I thought I should try something new - I met someone at the doctor's office yesterday that recommended Carlino's cheese shop and wished me well on my cheese journey - so I picked up delice de bourgogne and foolishly asked the clerk to help me distinguish between that and the brie.  He stated the obvious - it's softer and creamier - duh.  It was actually saltier, almost like a luxurious lebnah.

It's definitely time to move on from Whole Foods and perhaps brie.  Something about buying cheese at WF seems sanitized - the wonderful cheese smell is absent, largely because it's all wrapped in plastic...sucking the life right out of it.
