After a Long Day's Work...

...Some are comforted with an ice cold beer or tall glass of red... others, alongside a wedge of room temperature d'Affinois and toasted sourdough.


Fromager d'Affinois is a French double-cream (cow's milk).  As soft as a triple cream, with slightly less fat content characterizing it technically as a double (cream).  It's smooth, mild, buttery, and when the day demands a cheese-pit-stop on your way home, a great go-to with rarely a bite leftover.


So tonight I did end up enjoying it with this incredible Sauvignon Blanc; but really, I just needed the cheese.

Happy Rainy Days.

Sourdough, tomato soup, cheddar.  
The quintessential rainy day meal.

I stopped by Say Cheese in Silverlake this afternoon to pick up a nice extra sharp cheddar.  The kind suggested was a 2 year aged Cabot (good old Vermont made.)  Delightfully flaky, sharp and salty.  

Combined with Trader Joe's creamy tomato soup (flavored with Sriracha, sea salt and pepper) and slices of grilled sourdough and I was in my own world for each of the 5 minutes it took to devour.
