Hurricane Irene is sending a lot of rain and wind here now, so we decided to have a cheese course. We tried making buttermilk oat crackers from the recipe in this month’s Culture magazine, but they turned out more like cookies. (They taste good with tea. Not too sweet; not too salty).
Camembert from Delice de France, which was good, but I’m not sure if it was from France or not.
Caciotta Toscana, from the Italian deli in Cleveland Park, a nice cow and sheep cheese from Italy. Caciotta apparently means farmhouse in Italian.
Gorgonzola, also from the Italian deli, was very creamy.
