[Magdalen] Say Cheese!

Well, then, Jay should know that the best blue cheese in the world is made 
less than 10 miles from where I'm now sitting - Bayley-Hazen Blue: 
http://www.jasperhillfarm.com/. It is *really* good.

Most of the cheese I eat is on sandwiches, and that is almost always one of 
the Cabot cheddars - made in (of all places) Cabot, Vermont - the town just 
to the east of us.

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
