It's a good cooking cheese with a fresh buttery taste and much better than the generic store brands. Wed Jun 21 15:39:55 -0700 2006 0 Melanie Wong 1 1705473 Oh, and I noticed that the Starve Dog wines from Adelaide in South Australia were still in stock. The chardonnay and the sauvignon blanc are solid and cleanly made, if not exciting, and excellent value at $4 per bottle. Wed Jun 21 15:42:50 -0700 2006 1705472 0 Melanie Wong 1 1705479 have you gotten other interesting cheeses there? My NorCal BIL turned me onto a south american (brazilian?) cheese there that was nice and buttery. I have seen some unusual ones at our local store as well. Wed Jun 21 22:13:06 -0700 2006 1705472 0 toodie jane 2 1707159 I don't consider Polly-O particularly interesting, other than that it's not seen often around here. Yes, we always look at the cheese section. English cheddars and Stilton show up from time to time. Cabot cheddar, Tillamook, Havarti, lots of Land o'Lakes on the shelf right now . . . my mom sent me back to get two more pounds of the mozz. Oh, and I made an error on the Starve Dog wines. They're $4.99 per bottle.

I have to admit I cruise the cold cases of Grocery outlet about once a week. If you look carefully you find deals ranging from the sublime (goat cheese logs, diced speck) to the bizarre (single serve spam). Thu Jun 22 11:00:56 -0700 2006 1705479 0 Larry
