Edam

I've found it.

As many of you Trinidadians living in the US have found, New Zealand cheddar ain't easy to find. I have found the alternative. Edam cheese from Holland, tastes the same, but it's almost $9/lb. Ouch.

For me, worth it, nothing America has to offer comes close to back home. If however any of you have found a cheaper alternative, please fill me in. I'm sure Chris will thank you (you should have seen her face when I came waltzing over to the shopping cart).

"Gourmet cheese...?"

Heh.

...

Which reminds me, until she starts making bank at her new job she's tutoring, they say she's good.

I'm sort of tempted to get this for your next birthday...

Actually I had other reasons for temporarily removing it, I wanted the last post on the page back for someone to read. Since that's done now it's back, so stick it in your ear =P
