what's in my fridge? 08/31/06


so there is no lavender nor pomegranates in this sorry excuse for a foodie fridge. the contents of my ice box are so random because i have usually had to purchase strange things to diversify other items that i'm photographing... the fancy cheeses sitting next to canned tomatoes, the $12.00 blood orange jam in a small jar peeking out from behind a can of light beer (which isn't mine i swear.) but that is the methode to my strange stockpiling...

aaron, your coors light is still there waitin for ya.
mark, your fat tires are going flat.

all those vegetables - a little too ambitious a purchase on my part... i keep forgetting to take them with me to work, so i end up grazing on fig newtons or leftovers from when other people get to go out to lunch and i don't.



right in the middle shelf there is a delightful cheese, a big improvement on the last one i tasted, this one is called harlech, and it is a creamy Welsh cheddar made with horseradish and parsley. (add a little mustard seed and pepper stoli and it sounds like we're getting close to a good bloody mary, but i get distracted... ) harlech is a whitish 'mature' cheddar, perfectly crumbly with a mild snap but no deep breath to it like a goat or feta. the parsely gives it a great texture too; as, like a bloody mary or a soup, it's always better when you have to chew it. this cheese would be wonderful with a good medium rare burger or would give a great zip melted over fries... or pair it with a pint of boddingtons. i found this cheese at safeway, by the way...
