How many kinds of cheese have you eaten today?

[8 Bit WWBG]

I'm at 5 and counting.  Its been a slow day.  I'll have at least 2 others before the day is up.

Zero. I haven't had cheese in months.

i do have a goat cheddar waiting to try, some day...

[midjd]

What kinds?

I had mozzarella and parmesan, but I think that's it. Sad.

[Deleted]

Does the cheese mixture in Kraft macaroni and cheese count?

[swamp]

Crumbly blue cheese on my salad at dinner. 

[chiver78]

two - American melted onto my sandwich at lunch, and a dry Parmesan cut into slices with Triscuits as a snack now.

[mmhmm]

We had three cheese omelets for dinner, and I had brie on a crepe for lunch.  That makes 4.

[resolution]

I put some shredded cheddar jack into the turkey meatloaf that we finished off tonight. Other than that no cheese. I usually have a salad for lunch with some gorgonzola crumbles, but I ran out a few days ago.

[happyscooter]

Cheetos.

[Tennesseer]

Four: Parmesan, Romano, Asiago and American white.

I had light string cheese with an apple this morning and just had a few triscuits with sharp cheddar for a little snack.

Mix it up next time and have the sharp cheddar with the apple. A good combo.

[Malarky]

cottage
cheddar
parmesan
feta
american.


   I'm not doing a very good job cutting cheese out of my diet and lowering my cholesterol.  I had no idea I'd eaten that much cheese today, until you asked.

I've never understood the whole cheddar/apple thing. I much prefer a sliced apple with a healthy serving of peanut butter. what's the draw?


oh, and Malarky - I thought of you earlier today when I was in town. my accountant is downtown, and I always book a lunch appointment so I can stop at the deli peddler on my way out   
lunch today was a grilled turkey and cheese on that drool-worthy scala bread.

[swamp]

Now I want some Brie 

[wvugurl26]

Two today, sharp cheddar on the steamed broccoli with dinner and blue cheese crumbles on my salad at lunch.

I imagine it's the multiple different tastes of the combined food (apple and cheddar, apple and peanut butter, peanut butter and bacon, etc.).

[chiver78]

could be. most people I know of that enjoy the apple/cheddar combo prefer the sharper cheddars, which I don't generally care for. to each his own, I guess

[swamp]

Sharp cheddars rock.

I'm a big fan of the stinky, soft cheeses. Pair most of them with a ripe pear. Great combo.

[sarcasticgirl]

cottage cheese (does that count?!?!)

smoked gouda
cheddar grueyer melange
piave
manchego

I am a cheese lover, have a cheese drawer in my fridge... which I am not trying not to go and raid- again.

I think it's the contrast of the sweet/savory. Just like I love dried cranberries with blue cheese.

i love dried cranberries and toasted pecans with goat cheese.  Will have to try the dried cranberries with blue cheese.

   my sis likes that pairing, she even rolls it into sushi. no, thank you. I'm a fan of mild and hard cheeses.

What ever happened to that Cheese Snob thread?

[8 Bit WWBG]

Cream cheese (if cottage cheese counts, that one does too)
Gouda on a sandwich
Pecorino Romano as a snack while making dinner
pepperjack as another snack while making dinner.
Parmigianno reggiano on baked cauliflower

If I'd made salads, goat cheese would have been on there.  I also considered cracking open something else we had, and then also baking a mini brie (a tiny one that is like 4 inches diameter) but the sheets of filo dough weren't defrosted.

[MarleyKeezy78]

None today   But this weekend I am going to buy goat cheese and make a grilled goat cheese with spinach and strawberries  sandwich

[Peace Of Mind]

 

[Tennesseer]

We use to call cheese only grinders (subs, heros, etc.) binder grinders.

A man after my own heart. I LOVE cheese. I can out out most other things from my diet if necessary but cheese is going nowhere.
Today was only mozzarella in my spaghetti, unfortunately. Oh, and the whatever it is cheese on McD's cheeseburgers. I had to leave my condo due to 2 showings in a row and was hungry. So sue me.

[Apple]

I had four kinds--a garlic jack, pepper jack, cheddar and one other one I can't remember.  One thing I love grocery outlet for is that we are always trying a new kind.

Someone mentioned a cheese drawer, I have a cheese shelf   I might go for months without adding cheese to anything, but then we use a lot later.  I also make my own cheese crackers (similar to cheeze-its) so am constantly trying different combos.  Right now Fred Meyer has Tillamook cheeses for $5 for a 2 pound brick--I really like their cheese, so I'm stalking up on the different kinds (a vintage white cheddar and pepper jack combo make awesome crackers).

Right now I have
Havarti
Havarti Dill
Black Pepper White Cheddar
Sharp white cheddar
Super sharp cheddar
Jack/garlic jack/hot pepper/cheddar blend
Chipotle cheddar
Emmentaler
Lake Country cheese
Hirten
Brie Le Cremeux
Ramono
Cheddar
Vintage white
pepper jack
monterey jack
parmesan
various cream cheeses
smoked swiss
gouda
spicy gouda
bleu cheese

And that might not be it.  Even right now we don't eat a lot, or every day, but it can keep a long time so I'm not worried about it (I like sharp cheddar--I'll buy medium cheddar and then just put it in the back of the fridge until it ages a year or so--no mold or anything, just gets more sharp).  Looks like I need to make more crackers this weekend...!  (I also love asiago, but haven't seen a brand I like--best stuff I've bought to date I got from a place in Leavenworth Washington).
