    I make a pretty good living and my family really loves cheese, so I buy fancy stuff pretty frequently, but I check the prices because some of them are just ridiculous. The ten to twelve dollars I spend on a chunk the size of a deck of cards or two is bad enough, but some are two or three times that price for the same amount and I just can’t bring myself to do it. I could do it, but it’s just hard to believe we’d enjoy the cheese that much.

      I’ve convinced myself that ShopRite cheese ($2 for an 8oz block - which is still fucking $4 a pound) is as good as it gets. If I want something fancy, I soak herbs in vinegar and mix them into a block of neufchatel cheese, which makes a tasty substitute for goat cheese. I also make my own crackers now, which is basically the cost of the flour.
