Cheese Plate

cheesy dessert

So, I usually try to first eat from my garden, and second, eat local, but sometimes I can't resist. These cheeses are all from Trader Joe's, and are from all over western Europe. But, I figure, they know what they're doing when it comes to cheese, and its ok to bend the rules occasionally.

So for dessert, we decided to have a trio of Goudas. I know, yum. From left to right, its a 1,000 day aged Gouda, a honey goat milk Gouda, and a three year aged Gouda. I love the sweeter goat milk honey Gouda, and Pat loved the crunchiness of the three year aged Gouda (it's like candy!)

To stick with my ideal locavore diet, I added some local honey, peaches and jam. (See, I try.)
