Think this is what this forum needs.
I was just eating the best fucking piece of Smoked Gouda cheese on the planet, & had to spew.... to the Internet farts I like & respect.
New Year's buffet has hardly cleared yet (sorry to the DEV's), spent most of this week shopping for the BEST nibbles for today.
DONE: Shrimp (aka prawns)(steamed & accompanied by My own cocktail sauce)
DONE: Fuckin' assorted nuts. (nut's ain't right unless you put "fuckin'" in front)but these where "Planter's winter spice blend", Fuckin' sweet
DONE:Cheeses: Smoked Gouda, Real Provolone (that stinks), & some cheddar-jack, which to choose first? Gouda man=me
DONE: Riesling wine (did not pair well with spice, but lovely overall)
DONE: Nice bit of imported pepperoni
DONE: Brandy (E&J)
DONE:BEER
TODO: Hotwings
TODO: Mozzarella sticks
NOT TOUCHED: Chips & salsa
Forgot to mention the bowl of Spanish olives.
I put this forth NOT as something to envy, but something to STRIVE for

I spent all my year-end cash, I'm sure others went to Chez FU.
So if you went to Chez FU, you had a worse meal than I.
Only thing about those lovely cheeses is that you have to buy WAY more than you can handle after a couple days.
Anyone wanna Ebay an ounce of used Gouda from me? ... thought not
I'll keep the recipe site's in mind, but smoked gouda & funky provalone ..... I'm thinking BROCOLLI!
[Edit] Can any Germanic person tell me WTF is up with kippers to celebrate the new year?" & any anybody to tell me 'bout "cold duck"[/edit]
