Who Moved My Cheese?

(Apologies for the lameness of this first post, but the title was inspiration enough to motivate me to just get blogging)

Well, I ordered a case of the special kosher-for-Passover run of OU-certified Cabot Sharp Cheddar. In my case it was UPS that moved my cheese in what turned out to be a surprisingly long 7-day standard shipping delivery. I highly doubt that my $83 of cheese was refrigerated for much of that time but it seemed to arrive OK and hasn't killed any of my kids yet, despite my having used them as guinea pigs.

It's definitely sharper than the other 'real' non-jewy brand kosher cheddar, Tillamook's Medium Cheddar, and a world ahead of Miller's, HaOlam and the other kosher brands. Nicely sharp, firm but not crumbly, and grated well with my parmesan microplane into a modified Roasted Garlic and Cherry Tomato Penne.

You should be able to find 10%-off or free shipping coupon codes online. At about $4 shipped per 1/2 pound stick in case lots it's much cheaper than any of the decent cheeses available at the supermarket here in Houston (and probably most places).
