[Magdalen] Say Cheese!

[Jay Weigel]

About the only cheese I don't eat is limburger. I'm a particular lover of
the "bleu" varieties. I was introduced to Roquefort by my mom at the age of
9 and she knew she'd made a mistake when I demanded more! Oddly enough, I
didn't like the hard cheeses until I was much older.

Jay, who has a big hunk of Gorgonzola in the fridge right now--it's great
stuffed in those little tiny sweet peppers
