stinky cheese and books
Sep. 4th, 2009 12:31 amNow that my burfday is officially over, I can say that it was a pretty good day. After much thought (okay, not really), I decided I wanted to spend my birthday a)not at work no matter what and b)shopping for my two favorite things, books and cheese.
Mostly because I had just discovered on Tuesday night that there is a cheese shop in Norman. Yay! Why was I not informed earlier? All these years, and cheese was just 15 minutes away. Oh, and books, because Borders sent me a coupon.
LOOK, YOU GUYS,more blurry iPhone pictures CHEESE. Two cases of wonderful, imported cheese.
I bought some Ballerina goat gouda, Truffle Tremor, and Epoisses, a cheese reportedly so stinky it's not allowed on public transport in France.
I just tried the last two. The Truffle Tremor is okay, but it tastes REAL GOATY. I like the Epoisses the best though. It is stinkay. And runny. And it looks like it's sweating. It's kinda like a brie that you forgot and left in your shoe. Yeah, I still love it.
Other stuff: I bought Tasha Alexander's new mystery novel at Borders. My mom bought me dinner at La Baguette's (I just finished reading Julia Child's autobiography, so I wanted to eat French food. No blurry iPhone pics though.) And I found the $10 coupon to the local needlework shop that I thought was lost. Apparently, anything I lose can always be found on the floorboard under the passenger side seat of my car.
Mom is getting me the (considerable amount of)remaining silk threads I need for Chatelaine's Japanese Garden mandala. I can't wait to start another Big Ass Project. I miss stitching on the old one. Sort of.
And thank you to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I can still smell the cheese. D: Going to brush teef now, brb.
