Last night at the Oyster House we had the final Cheese Night hosted by Big Johnny and me; he’s moving to Colorado soon, and this was an incredible send-off! The big man featured his regular favorites: an aged Provolone, delicious Salami and Prosciutto, fresh Ricotta and a wonderful selection of olives. I brought Dutch cheese, a 1000 day old, a ‘gras-kaas’ which Trader Joe’s calls ‘meadow cheese’ as in ‘it was still grass 2 months ago’, and Old Amsterdam, in addition to a nice aged New Zealand Cheddar from grass fed cows. Jeff brought a younger Cheddar with caramelized onions, a splendid Brie and the same some assorted cold cuts. We had 3 kinds of bread, Irish butter, crackers and even more cheeses that didn’t even get opened…….boy, life is good!
