Who Moved Our Cheese?

Its not that its missing or what but there's just too many, we don't know where to begin.
Yes, we both love the all natural goodness of the dairy by-product - C H E E S E

If we're to leave this place (though not anytime soon), one thing we'll miss most is how easy it is to get good cheese over here and also the variety of them available is simply unimaginable.



We currently just purchased an array of cheese from our local friendly store, Pete's. We took the liberty to snap some of them.

Our favourite for now, is the 3 years ol' Caron brand cheddar cheese from Montreal. High on fats but it is really good especially with crackers.
The picture taken after we finish it all.



p.s. good thing about taking them now is that all the fats won't count much given the cold weather right now :) hehe

Here's from Cows brand (incidentally the same brand as the famous Ice-cream we took in Spring).






Also smoked type of cheese called, Smoked Gouda from Du Village (really gotta build up our knowledge on Cheese)






And finally we got ourselves another type of cheese, called Brie. I personally plan to use it on my sandwich, but will be looking for other recipes where I can use it.






And not too long ago, we also got freshly grated Parmesan from Pete's and used it mostly for our Spaghetti. Its really good compared to using the dry type of Parmesan. And the end product, combined with our home made meat balls were really out of this world - beats Italianis or TGI-Friday's anytime!!


here's me making the meatballs.

Shopping

Shopping is one activity that we do so often. Stocking up for food after a week or a week and half to ensure that our stomach is heavily satisfied.

Here are some shots taken from some of the stores we visit from time to time. And also some of the weird or good stuff I thought would be nice to share.


The many selections of bread to choose from... Everywhere you go, either its Atlantic superstore, Sobeys Pete's or even Walmart, the bread selection is simply amazing.... Not only are there alot of brand to choose from, but there's also a lot of types of bread to choose from too. And look at the top of the shelf, you'll notice the types of salad dressing!! Ooo la la la...




Anyway, this you got to see. Imagine a bottle of Chili that shows a tomato on the front label! WTF!!!



That's NOT chili at alll....

Anyway enough of that. We'll just have to live with it for now. Probably until we get some shipment from Malaysia. Hopefully the chili could survive the trip.

But what's really really amazing is the CHEESE!! Oh.. I love cheese and safe to say, I've kinda influence my wife too. She's slowly opening up to Cheese - which is good for me :)

Look at the white-yellow beauty. There's Cheddar, Old Fort, Mozarella, Mix cheddar and mozarella, goat cheese, blue cheese, skim cheese, etc etc. You name it, you got it. Canada is a huge cheese consumer and also producer, so there's no shortage of it.





So, have I ruffled your tummy enough?
